Our Creek

We are blessed with having a beautiful parkland and Dog park across the road from us, and we have discovered this sandy area, on the creek edge. We like to build dam walls to see if we can stop the water running through! Opa would be very proud of some of our Dam designs! We have also met lots of our neighbours and pets due to the fenced dog area.

Leanna's International Day

Leanna watchs closely as her friends parade their outfits

Leanna's class in thier brightly coloured costumes, Mrs Speagiat, being from Africa wore a lovely costume!

Creative Shalese

Shalese drew a beautiful picture of our family! All wearing our favourite colours, except daddy because he is being a fireman, and has to wear fire colours! All the girls hair is blowing in the wind.
