The pool party was fun, with the thunder holding off until it was time to get out of the water anyway. We walked back to school in the rain and got wet, but after a day at the pool, no one cared too much. Before we knew it, it was time to say our farewells and go off into the wide blue yonder.

Congratulations to our wonderful grade six students who completed their primary schooling so well – they should all be proud of their achievements this year and are sure to be successful in their secondary schooling. Hopefully many of them will keep up with our blog and their own as well – we’d love to hear from them in the future.

To our grade five students, you are our leaders of 2009. There are many wonderful opportunities for you as you continue your education journey. I am lucky to have some of you in my class again next year – be ready for anything! For those who are moving on to another school or to another grade, enjoy yourselves, learn lots and keep in touch.

We also have some workers making the staff room bigger. They are putting an outdoor sitting area for the staff. Our students are also allowed to work out there during class time. Builders have put a sliding door from the staff room out on to the ramp that is there. They are yet to put the outdoor seating.
