Fantastic First Day and Rita's Amber Inquiry

What a great first day back at school with the grade 2s! We would like to congratulate all the students for their positive attitude to the new learning environment (and teachers!).

We would like to extend an invitation to all the parents and friends of our neighbourhood to come in and have a 'tour' of the learning spaces - you are all very welcome!

Things we are interested in

On Friday, Rita talked about her interest in Amber. She brought in some pieces that were precious to her and spoke to the whole neighbourhood about how amber is formed.

If you would like to know more about amber, here are some websites that will help:

The ABC show, Catalyst, has a great video about the discovery of amber in Australia.

We would like the children to bring in something that they are interested in to share with neighbourhood and to encourage further inquiry!
