Kindergarten’s Excursion Recount Writing

Kindergarten enjoyed their excursion to Calmsley Hill Farm. Their experiences have been the focus of the writing this past week!

Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee

The Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee is a national on-line competition designed to expose students to unfamiliar words, providing them with definitions and word origins to help expand their vocabulary and encourage them to use knowledge of strategies to spell each word.  This year, 9 students from Stage 2 and 14 students from Stage 3 participated in the competition.  These students are spelling above their age level. 

Well done to our class champions who scored the highest in their class:

Yr 3 - Henry

Yr 4 - Jenna 

Yr 5 - Lee 

Yr 6 - Evie 

A big congratulations to our State Finalists Henry and Jenna.  Unfortunately they didn’t make it to the Nationals round, but we are so proud of them for being one of the top 200 spellers in the state.
