Marry you flash mob

We had some very sneaky children in the Senior Team last week. Last Wednesday some children thought it would be a good idea to "flash mob" Miss Dolarmore (Room 3 classroom teacher). This flash mob was performed in anticipation of her up coming nuptials,which took place last Saturday. Our whole school is was so excited for Miss Dolarmore and of course we wish her all the happiness in the world. There were many devices floating around in our lunch area last week. If you have Facebook you can click on the link and log in to view. I'll keep trying to hunt down some more footage that we can all see. We thank Brianna's Mum for sharing her footage with us. So I could post to our blog.
Thanks

House Fun Day! 28/2/14

Last Friday we had a House fun day. Mr Weaver (Rm 10) and Mrs Wheeler (Rm 6), with the help of the House captains and vice Captains. Organised a number of fantastic 'Top Team' type activities for our house groups. The purpose was to build team spirit and camaraderie. It was an amazing afternoon and we were so pleased that we managed to just get it in before the terrible weather hit.Please click on our scrapbook below and check out some of the photos of the day. More will be added as they come in. Thanks Rochelle
