After School Activity Green Team is a new after school activity running in the Primary School this term for students in Years 3-5. We have had some excellent discussions on how to help keep our school clean and green. We made our own Green Award, complete with our own Green Team Logo:
Our Green Team members will be watching for students who are helping to keep the Front Steps area clean after morning tea and lunch times, and awarding certificates to those who make that effort. Now, we are making our own scrap books from recycled paper and cardboard and have plans to make our own mats from old T-shirts, garden sculptures from recycled materials and some gardening. If you would like to join us on Wednesday afternoons, please sign-up at the Primary Office and help us to make ISS Primary Greener!
Mothers’ Day Celebrations in Primary
We enjoyed a Primary School Mothers’ Day assembly on Friday 12th May, thanks to Year 3A. It was lovely to see so many children celebrating their mums by wearing pink or floral clothes to school on Friday as well. The Primary School students had lots of fun trying to guess who was featured in the baby photos posted in the Primary School. Several children managed to guess correctly which teachers they were. Different classes got creative for their mums and made cards to take home to their mum on the weekend. Early childhood celebrated Mothers’ Day as well with a fun set of activities for the children to share with their Mums (and Dads), some singing and a delicious morning tea, complete with fresh fruit, sandwiches, tea and chocolate cake!
National Swimming Championships Squad There are 45 primary students preparing for the annual Inter Schools swimming National competition that will be held on Friday May 26th – Saturday 27th May, 2017 at the Aquatic Centre. We are having three training sessions per week down at the Aquatic Centre in the lead up to this event. This includes two after school sessions and one morning session each week. The students are really looking forward to the training and especially to the big event next weekend. Come and cheer them on if you can!
