IN CLASS WITH 3/4M...
Students of 3/4M have been quietly busy using computers in all Key
Learning Areas. The students have produced Ken Done artworks that
we are very proud of. The class have completed these to accompany
our study of Australia in our HSIE unit. We learnt about Ken Done and
also about the Sydney Harbour.
Mrs Rachelle McArthur and 3/4M
SWIM TEAM
What a super effort our Far North Coast swimmers put in last week in
their respective events at the North Coast Swimming Carnival at Ballina.
Three BPPS students were selected to swim in the PSSA State
Swimming Championships to be held at the Sydney Olympic Park
Complex. We wish Bohdi, Alannah and Shaylee all the best in their
events in Sydney in a fortnight.
