The GRADE 6 PLAY
Grade 6’s got the ‘Boot’ from the classroom! (But just for the dura-tion of last week’s Play Boot Camp!)
Last week the grade six’s went into boot camp for the play. They were practising the scenes, getting props and costumes ready and learning heaps of amazing songs. If you haven’t already bought tickets we would really recommend doing so, because the play will be amazing and you’ll never see anything like it again.
From the Homework Sapiens Stars! (Milla and Bronte)

Grade 5’s ‘Earn & Learn’ in the Nation of Quinistan!
As part of Book Week the grades Prep and 1/2's got to see a great creative story telling experience.
The show, entitled ‘Heroes and Villains’ saw two improvising performers create performed stories from student suggestions. The goal was to show our young writers how incredible stories can be made up from simple ideas – you just have to use your imagination!
This is was Bridget Van Vliet thought – ‘This photo was from a story about a monster who wanted to eat all the trees. There was one actor dressed as the monster. The other actor pretended to be a baby and she saved all the trees. They used our ideas and made the story really funny!
We look forward to seeing what creative stories were inspired by this very entertaining show.
‘HEROES AND VILLAINS’
COME ALIVE IN PREPS and
GRADES 1/2!
DON’T FORGET!
This Sunday’s
Working Bee
10am –12 Noon
Help get the school spick and
span for the Arts Gala the
following Thursday!
Grade 5 have been learning about how a
nation’s economy works during their unit
called ‘Earn & Learn.’ They created the nation
of Quinistan (because they are all Grade 5’s!)
and have been buying and selling a range of
goods and property within their ‘nations’
market. They even have two Prime Ministers!
Left is a copy of the Quinistan Times that
explains more about this great unit of work.
