Dear Parents, In this gorgeous chaos that is childhood, I just want to take the time to tell you that on a daily basis your children make my heart gleam with pride. Led by Ollie, the children have started a charity stall, selling loom band bracelets, drawings, origami paper wallets and various other creative craft. So far they have raised over a whopping $110, all of which has been donated to charitable causes such as Timor-Leste, possum rehabilitation, Heart-kids and Project Compassion.

If you are too far from school, walking from the church may be a way for you to partake. INSIDE THE CLASSROOM We are continuing with our problem...
Hi everybody! I hope you had a lovely and productive weekend and enjoyed the awesome weather that was on offer.

The video below is actually from the public holiday but it has taken a couple of extra efforts to burn the remaining logs. This now allows me to start preparing for my veggie patch because the bonfire was sitting in prime position. Enjoy!
