Festival is celebrated with people flying amazing kites. Our Japanese guest, Mrs Shimizu (senior)
visited our classroom to teach K/1 the art of Origami. We learnt about “Flying Fish” and had a
wonderful time learning a new skill. Mrs. Shimizu
Murwillumbah Show Excursion
K-6 enjoyed the events at Murwillumbah Show. We learned about shearing sheep and all about
Llamas. The Pavilion was very interesting. We saw our school’s display and all the farming
produce on show. It was a very hot day. We are very lucky that the Murwillumbah Show is free
entry for everyone!
