Lunchtime Ice Blocks The SRC will be selling ice blocks at lunchtime on Tuesdays and Fridays. Ice Blocks will be 50c each.

Borenore’s Got Talent All students are invited to nominate as an individual or group act/performance in the upcoming SRC Borenore’s Got Talent competition. Auditions are in Week 7 on Thursday at lunchtime with the top five finalists competing for the prestigious title on Friday Week 9. All acts are time limited to a maximum of 4 minutes.

We are looking forward to some entertaining and impressive acts from our skilful and talented students.

Transition Last week Transition students read and re-told the story of The Gingerbread Man with a storyboard in Mrs G’s room. They made their very own Gingerbread Man to take home and share with parents. With Ms Hopkins, students investigated straight and curve lines. They located them in the classroom and playground, drew them on paper and identified straight and curved lines in the letters of their names.

Spring time Thank you Mr Fardell for maintaining our school grounds in immaculate condition, even with the drought. The garden colours look amazing as you enter the school grounds. Last week rain has washed the dust off everything.

Kind Regards

Louise, Debbie, Melissa and staff
