Dance Group and The Hawkesbury Performing Arts Festival
Dance group have made it through the audition phase and will now perform at the Hawkesbury Performing Arts Festival on Wednesday 31st July. five of our dance group members have been busy choreographing the rest of the dance. They finally were able to share this with the group and have been practicing once every recess and lunch to lock it into our long term memories. Costumes have been ordered and have arrived. Thank you to Ms Hussey who helped with ordering and sizes.

SoLaR Battalion Writing Units
Mrs Warren and I have been attending writing unit workshop days at South Windsor PS. On these days we collaborate across the Hawkesbury with executive teachers and teachers who have a passion for writing. We have been busy creating next term's writing units. This is something I am truly excited about. Based on the writing that our students have been producing, I know this has been time well spent. We have been teaching through schema building in the first instance and then using blanks as a scaffold for infants and blocks as a scaffold for writing. Then theme of these units is heavily threaded through our reading and morning routine lessons as well.
