save the document and/or print the document. Email report links remain valid

for 4 weeks. The school will not be providing hard copies of reports.

ences and return the form to class teachers. Teachers will organise times by

family groups and inform parents of interview times by Monday 24 June.

child is aged between 7 and 11 years and you would like us to send you an information pack, please

Room 9 & 10 Cultural Excursion

On Tuesday, 11 June, Rooms 9 & 10 participated in a fun and educational day out in Perth City. The

students participated in two ‘Fun with Fairy tales' workshops at the State Library. They got to create

and photograph a retell of popular fairy tales and engage in a fractured fairy-tale exercise, where they

learned some of the tricks to put a fun twist on a classic tale.

Both classes also took the Fresh Food Tour at Woolworths, where they had the opportunity to learn all

about healthy food options and experience just how cold the cool rooms are!

Class Teachers, Room 10

On Tuesday Room Nine went to Woolworths and the Library.

First of all we went to the library and did activities inside. Next we went for a walk to Woolworths.

We got food. Next of all we did some running. Last of all we went to play.

The best part was when we went for a walk in the sun. I had fun on Tuesday the 11th of June but I nev-

er got sad.
