WORLD TEACHER'S DAY

Today our school celebrated "INTERNATIONAL TEACHER'S DAY". All the teachers felt very special. The day started with a prayer and each teacher received a badge, an apple and a certificate telling us to go to a special website to receive a message from our class.

This is the link to my website http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheBox?sendevent=4e5445354f446b324f4877354f544d794e546b300d0a&sb=1. Thankyou 45R it was a lovely message and I think it has been a great year too. Thank you for the chocolates and the gerberas (my favourites!!)

MUSIC COUNT US IN

Yesterday our school participated in a nation wide sing- a- long. Thousands of children all over Australia sang "SING SING" at the same time. We did this to promote the great things we do in our music, choir and instrumental lessons.

We listened to our choir sing, the band play, the piano students play and the preps, 4/5J and the year 7's perform.

It was fantastic!!!

OUR VISITORS FROM FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND

Today we had special visitors to our school. They were children from a primary school in Trebonne. 13 children came to our school, they were in year 4-7 and they were in the same class because their school only has 25 children in it. The other 12 children are in P-3, they stayed back at their school.



The children are visiting Bribane and are staying here for a week. They came down with their teacher, principal and some parents. They wanted to visit a "city" school to see how different or similar it was to their school and to tell us about what their life is like living in a small town.





We found out that most of the children ride quad bikes or motorbikes around their farms, they fish with crocodiles and can't just walk next door to play with their neighbours because their neighbours could be a 15 minute drive away or even further.





Their school is much smaller than ours - they only have an office, a library (which is a classroom) and two other classrooms, and a small area to play in. This is very different to our school which has around 360 children in it, 14 classes, a library, office, hall, tuckshop and multi-purpose room we use for drama and music, plus we have 3 play areas.





Our lives are very different but we still enjoyed doing the same kinds of things. We hope our new friends keep in contact with us.
