In class recently we've been reflecting on ANZAC day and what it's all about - and we realised that the soldiers who so bravely and sacrificially gave their lives for our freedom were actually showing our current school value of responsibility!  They were being responsible for the safety and freedom of their families, and their country - and, in a way, the whole world.  We reckon that is pretty cool and it makes us very thankful!  Our challenge is to be responsible to make the world a peaceful place and we know that that starts in our school and where we live - but we're up for the challenge!     

Special author visit -

Today in the middle block we were lucky enough to have a visit from Patricia Stroud the author of the book 'Caesar the ANZAC dog' - it is a true story about a bull dog in the 1st World War who worked for the Red Cross helping to find wounded soldiers.  It's really cool and we reckon you should read it sometime, perhaps before ANZAC day coming up in a few weeks!?!

People who inspire us!

For homework recently we had to make a poster about our house patron and talk about what they did to be/achieve their best and how that inspires us to reach for our best too!  Here's some of the terrific work we produced - just click on them to have a closer look.
