Send an email to room15stm.class@blogger.com with a photo and I can put it on the blog for everyone to see. I do love hearing about any sports awards you receive!

Cross Country is this Friday. We will carry on with our training leading up to the event. Please make sure your child has their PE gear packed, sport shoes and something warm. It does get very cold, so some extra layers will help to keep warm. If you can help with transportation that would be great!

Wednesday: Library
Friday: Pentecost Mass at 11am. Cross Country after lunch with St Michaels.

Sofia's Homework

                      The statue reminds me of ANZAC  because it represents the people who fought in the war. The poppies remind me of ANZAC because it shows that the blood has been scattered all over the  ground.

Sarah

Here is Sarah putting her brave hat on and standing directly underneath this kaka at Rainbow Springs! I wonder if the kaka was hungry for some " Sarah Pie"
