Also this week I was able to have a look inside the new building. It is still a little off being completed but it is starting to take shape and we are all getting very excited about being able to use it in the near future. I am extremely excited at the prospect of having a kitchen space for cooking with the students.

LEVEL 4 CAMP 2010

In Week 2 most of the Grade 5/6 students headed of to ACE -HI RANCH for a 5 day camp. We all had a fantastic time and there were too many highlights to highlight. Everyone seemed to love the flying fox, giant swing and rock climbing wall. But without a doubt the most talked about activity was the horse riding. So many students and teachers participated and everyone seemed to really enjoy it.
It was great seeing the students in such an informal environment and really trying there best to give everything a go. It was so lovely to hear all the fantastic comments from the camp staff about how well behaved and polite all the KPS students were.
Unfortunately camp is over for another year, but it won't be long til the next camp for Grade 5/6 rolls around.

After we return from camp Miss Harris will be with us for two weeks which will be great. In Week 4 we will be doing house athletics at Springfield oval and school.In Week 5 we will welcome Miss Embray to our class, a student teacher, she will be with us for three weeks. Then in Week 6 we will be going to district athletics. Week 7 we start swimming and then in the last week of term we will be celebrating FOOTY DAY!!!!!
