Hi Everyone,

Well what a busy few weeks we have had! Students in Upper School have been involved in lots of fun and engaging learning. Here are some photos that highlight the great learning.

A big congratulations and thankyou to all the Grade 5 students for their efforts this week sitting the four NAPLAN tests.

Lake Nillacootie Camp 2010

A big thankyou to all the Grade 5/6 students for their wonderful enthusiasm and behaviour on camp. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed taking part in the many activities with you all. A few of the highlights on camp were Red Faces and playing spot light at night. All the teachers enjoyed and found it very funny trying to hide from the students in the dark. Mrs Bird and I stopped laughing when we realised the tree we had climbed was full of huge spider webs! I hope you are well rested and ready for week 4.

Upper School Community Expo!!!

The Upper School students enjoyed a wonderful morning participating in the US Community Expo. A variety of community organisations visited our building, providing us with information about their community group. The students behaviour was exceptional, WELL DONE!!

Reading and Maths groups are well under way with students familiar with the US timetable and routine of moving to their group and teacher. In week 5 we also commenced writing and spelling clinics which ran very smoothly. Well done to all the grade 5/6 students for working so co-operatively!!

Hi USPU,

I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend with family and friends. I have had a nice time with my girls and Rick. We had intentions of going to Moomba but that didn't eventuate due to the wild weather! We have finally started renovating, it is very exciting to see it starting to happen. Enjoy your last couple of days and we'll see you on Tuesday.

Things to remember:

-Homework due on Tuesday

See you!!
