ALSO ROOM 2`S TRIP TO KELLY TARLTONS

Greetings all,
It has been a very busy term. Thank you all for sending your children to school with a positive attitude, well
clothed, with a lunch and are happy to learn. They are a tremendous group of children and it has been many
years since I have seen such a settled group in the school. Thank you for the support, helping with sports, turning up to support your children at sports events, school trips, parent interviews, netball couching and parent
reading. The teachers have been busy learning about all sorts of new approaches to teaching the modern curriculum. This will continue next term and we look forward to the senior school production coming up. The actors are
already working hard with the teachers to learn their parts. It is going to be fantastic. In the meantime, we are
getting ready to open a small class of new entrants on the first day back next term. If you have friends wanting
to start in a new entrant class next term, let them know about us. Keep warm and safe.

ROOM 2’S TRIP TO KELLY TARLTONS
This term the Junior School went on a trip to Kelly Tarlton’s as we have been learning about water and fish. We had a
fantastic time there and would again like to thank all those parents who came to help. These are some responses
from the children in Room 2 about the best thing they saw on the trip.
“At Kelly Tarlton’s I saw a penguin and it was a little fluffy baby. The fluffy baby colours were
brown and black. The baby penguin was standing on the ice. The other penguins were lying
down and sleeping. I thought the baby penguins were cute.”
By Angelina L.
“At Kelly Tarlton’s there were fluffy penguins that were babies. I saw one go in the water and
it looked cold and when the penguin came out it was shivering.”
By Emily S.
“I saw a stingray at Kelly Tarlton’s and it was floating in the water. The stingrays were hungry
and I saw a lady feed them. They looked like they were biting her but they weren’t.”
By Dakota S.
“I really liked the sharks because they have sharp teeth. I saw them
swimming around in a big tank and they were swimming over my head. It
was cool.”
By Stanlee B.
“I saw a shark and it was fun. He had a big tail and a fin and a big mouth
with teeth. He was swimming in the water. I was excited.”
By Daniel A.
