Friday 14th of September 2018 Term 3 Week 8

Your family school for quality learning, opportunities, and care


Student Learning

Last week Team Wonderland went on an excursion to Wagga Wagga. Students watched The Hungry Caterpillar stage show, a book which they have been exploring in the classroom. They also visited an inclusive park to complete a checklist on the features of the park. Students will be comparing this park with a local park to compare the features and facilities. It was a great day had by all.

Team Two completed a creative art lesson on warm and cool colours this week. With the beautiful autumn colours around Cootamundra, we decided to take inspiration from the falling leaves and created fantastic works of art. These pieces have taken pride of place in our classroom foyer.

Learn To Swim- Winter Classes

Enrolling your kids into swimming lessons during winter is one of the most important things you can do for your child.

Don’t let the winter chill prevent you from getting your kids involved in swimming lessons! Winter is the perfect time to get started with our water school!

We will help your kids master the skills they need to be safe & enjoy the water when it comes to the hot summer season.

We have all heard the saying before 'Practice makes perfect' and this definitely applies to swimming! Children under the age of 7 require constant practice to ensure standards are met, having a large

break over winter can lead to a noticeable decrease in ability. Don’t let your child's hard work over the summer slip away in the winter months- ENROL TODAY in

our Swimming School.
