Invitation

We would like to invite parents to come and chat with the children daily at 9am over the next few weeks about their own achievements and what it took to create this.
Any interested parents are asked to see Kevin, Ethan or Rita to select a suitable date.
This week as part of their inquiry the children are sharing their dreams and goals.
Thank you very much to the wonderful parents who are helping to publish the children's thoughts and ideas and to make the learning visible.
We are also listening to songs that inspire us and viewing Australia's achievements. Maggie who inspired everyone with the production of 'Alice in Wonderland' is coming to be interviewed by the year 2 children on Tuesday September 4th.
The children are working towards thinking of what project the neighbourhood can undertake that shows an achievement.
We are excited about many possibilities.
