Thanks to all the parents for coming along and supporting your children, not just today but throughout the whole year. We are so lucky to have such wonderful children and community spirit.

The Little Red Hen

Corban has been learning a play called "The Little Red Hen." He has created a short movie of the play using Puppet Pals on the iPad.

Check it out!

Percy Jackson

We are reading the first Percy Jackson book - "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief."

It is about a boy who finds out he is a little different from others and he has a very important quest to complete. There are lots about ancient Greece and the Greek gods and goddesses.

Here is a link if you want to find out more about the myths, gods and goddesses.
