On Friday 15th September the grade 1/2's had a great dinner at school. We had chips and delicious pizza. When we were mid-way through our fruit Mrs McIntosh called us over to Chandler Hall to see the Amazing Danny the Magician. He was extremely funny. Danny turned a white balloon into a remote control bird. Afterwards we all ate chocolate coated ice cream. The ice cream was delicious. Then the grade 1's went home. While the grade1's were going home grade 2's were getting ready for a night walk. We saw 2 cute, furry possums. When the night walk was over the grade 2 girls brought their suitcases to Chandler Hall to watch a movie. The movie we watched was Sing, it was a new movie. We didn't watch all of the movie because it was very late so we slept. In the morning we got dressed and had breakfast.

We all had an amazing and informative day.

Hey! Did you hear about the cool excursion the 1/2's had to Cooper's Settlement? We did it on Tuesday the 1st of August. We got there by bus and we did this because we are learning about the olden days in Inquiry. It was SUPER FUN! This is a list of what we did at Cooper's Settlememnt;​

• We went on a horse and cart
• We pretended we were in an olden day school.
• We got our printing liscence.
• We found out what a farrier does.

Doesn't it sound exciting!
​We also did some bush dancing with a partner. I loved it! My favourite bit was the horse and cart becasue we got to feed the Clydesdale horse named Ben some carrots and we got to ride in the cart. I learnt that they had very strict rules in the olden days at school.
