Oonah: a Tasmanian Aboriginal Story

Students are currently engaged with writing retellings of a well-known Tasmanian Aboriginal story called Oonah. Students have been receiving extra assistance from a colleague teacher and as a result have produced some very stunning artwork. The retelling combined with their illustration will make up another chapter in the Horrible Histories books.

What a great read!

ANZAC Day Art... as shared in today's assembly

The students did very well with their presentations in today's ANZAC Day Assembly. The hall was pretty packed and it was a great commemoration of Anzac Day. Since this special day falls in the holidays this year, our school held the assembly beforehand.  The art works from the class  have been dropped off at the RSL Club ready for the big day. We practised the presentation three times as we only had four and a half minutes as so many classes had work and music items to share. It all came off well. So well done everyone who took part.
