Author visit

We were very lucky to have the author Narelle Oliver visit our school this week as part of Book Week celebrations. Narelle is the author of the well known book The Very Blue Thingamajig. She has written a new book that she read to us today and it had lots of Australian animals in the story. Narelle's new book is called Don't let a Spoonbill in the kitchen.

Book Week Parade

Today at SJV we dressed up as our favourite book character to celebrate Book Week. 2S looked fabulous dressed as a lots of different characters from lots of different books! We had great fun watching all of the classes in the parade and the teachers acting out King Pig.

Georgina visits

Georgina visited us in our classroom this week to show us the QUAC (Quandamooka Anthropology Club) trophy.  Year 2's were awarded this trophy for solving all the puzzle clues on our excursion to Stradbroke Island. Well done 2S!

Stradbroke Island Geography Excursion

On Thursday we travelled by boat to Minjerribah to follow clues to help us solve a puzzle about the Island. Katrina and Georgina were our Guides around the Island where we visited a famous tree, saw tools and weapons that the Quandamooka people used, explored a museum and heard Dreamtime stories from people who lived on the Island.

This week in 2S we had an artist from Raw Art visit our classroom. We used drawing, printing and chalk crayons to create our beautiful artwork.
