A group of F-2 students were very lucky to assist in setting up a new addition to Lake King…a turtle nesting island!
as well as a bee hotel. We were invited by our local Landcare group to hear Dr Ricky Spencer share his knowledge about turtles, the importance of protecting them, and the need to provide a safe place from predators to lay their eggs.
Next time you are at Lake King, keep an eye out for this amazing, but important structure, to keep our turtle population thriving!

The Year 3s were not going to miss out on all the fun today whilst their Year 4 classmates were away.
They headed to the vege gardens with some Year 2 friends for some harvesting of fresh produce. The plan… a cooking session, making mini vege frittatas and apple and rhubarb crumble.

Our Year 4s headed to Rutherglen High School for a transition day today and all reports are that they were not only fantastic with their behaviour, enthusiasm and willingness to participate, but had an awesomely fun day.
They made fruit kebabs and decorated cookies in Food Technology, had a session of PE, did a scavenger hunt around the school, made paper helicopters in science and had an art session where they played picture memory games and directed drawing games to see who can draw the most accurate picture following instructions.
Thank you RHS for providing these valuable transition experiences.
