Stage 2/3 News

On Thursday in Week 4 we all went to the Coolamon

Library and the Junee Licorice Factory. When we went

to the library we had story time with Bron Hatty, we did

arts and craft, and then we borrowed books. Then we

headed off to Junee Licorice Factory when we got

there we had lunch before making our yummy freckles.

While at the Factory we had to describe what it looks

like, what it smelt, tasted and sounded like.

In Week 5 we had Catapult experiments in Science and

we all received a certificate and a chocolate for

designing and making our own catapults.
