Verse Speaking

Some of the students in Years 1 to 4 showing off their achievements.

Students in Years 1 to 4 attended the Windsor Function Centre to participate in the Verse Speaking section of the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod, run by the Hawkesbury City Council.

"We had to get on stage and perform two different styles of poems and competed against many schools. It was very nerve racking experience getting on stage and performing our poems to lots of parents, judges and students"said Eoin in Yr 4.

"Even though it was a challenge, it is a very good experience as we learnt how to present poems using expression to deliver our poems and standing up in front a large group of people," added Charli.

Congratulation to Year 1 for their Highly Commended, Year 2 for 2nd Place, Year 3 for 1 st Place and Year 4 for 4th Place.

Eoin T, Austin T and Charli M

Today, our Kindergarten students shone brightly at assembly, sharing their learning with smiles and creativity. In Religion, they reminded us of the importance of loving one another through a beautiful song. Their Reader’s Theatre performance of 'Dear Farm' brought narratives to life, showing just how far their reading and storytelling skills have come. We were also treated to an amazing display of farm-themed artwork and another song about their knowledge of living things. A huge thank you to our dedicated teachers for guiding these young learners. It's hard to believe they only started school 8 months ago and have already made so much growth in their learning. Thank you also to the parents who joined us in celebrating their achievements- your support makes these moments very special!
