Lawn Bowls

On Thursday 5th November, it was a brilliant day to stroll through the Waitara community to attend lawn bowls at the Clifton Bowling Club...

Fellow class mates getting ready to test their skills

Students learned different terms for lawn bowls - such as the 'bias,' 'dead bowl,' 'forehand draw,' 'the jack,' and 'the head.'

Shared Reading - Term 4

When you don't fit in, and you're a kid, what do you do? Max just suffers alone, compressing his emotions inside his massive body. Kevin fights back by letting his intelligence and his imagination soar beyond his deformed body. Even if he can't save himself, Kevin can save Max.

  He teaches Max how to use his imagination to create exciting adventures: Houses become castles, swimming pools become moats, and a hardboiled motorcycle mama becomes a damsel in distress. And he teaches readers compassion and that everyone is valuable and has something to contribute.
