From Debbie
Hi everyone,
First my apologies for our newsletter being late this week. Yesterday we all took a trip to view the
artwork on display at Longburn School. Having the work on display was a chance for our chil-
dren to showcase their own efforts and to have a look at what other students in the cluster have
been doing. For teachers it’s an opportunity to see what others are doing and borrow ideas.
Thank you to the parents who helped us with transport to and from the exhibition.
GOLD RUSH
We are well underway with the singing for the show and this morning we have let the children
know who will be playing the main parts. The children have auditioned for these parts and will
begin work specific to their character next week.

So much depends on a So much depends upon

Parent baking a chocolate cake The drag racer with red flames on it

Whizzing Speeding down the race track

Up & down With an old man in it

By Grace M By Connor C

So much depends upon So much depends upon

The gravitational pull that pulls us down A pair of pants
When we want to jump Covering your bare body
And makes the moon And hanging lonely
Orbit the earth On a rack
By Caelan S By Kyla B

So much depends upon

So much depends upon
The red fire truck HEADLICE
An eyelash lying upon my cheek
With the red and blue light Those horrible little
Wondering if it will have luck creatures are back.
Speeding to the fire

child's hair and treat if
