National Tree Day
Last Friday was National Schools Tree Day and Saturday 30th July, National Tree Day - Australia's largest community tree-planting and nature care event. Tree Day is an opportunity to do something positive for your local environment and community and to reconnect with nature. National Tree Day started in 1996 and since then more than 3.8 million people have planted 23 million trees and plants and it's still growing.
 
We Love Trees
I love trees because they provide us with oxygen which helps us to breathe.  I also like to climb up trees because it is a lot of fun. I planted my tree in the garden which is near my pool. By Declan C LG 2
 
I love trees because I can climb them and I enjoy sitting in the top branches. I am going to put my plant in the front garden.  By Wilby F LG 1
 
I love trees because I find them really pretty and there are so many different coloured leaves. I am going to plant my tree in the backyard. By Freya H LG 4
 
I love trees because they make the world look beautiful and help us to breathe. I planted my tree in the front yard of my house next to my dog’s grave. Max K
PERFORMING ARTS / SCHOOL CONCERT
LG1 We are performing ‘Hand Jive’.
I really like our dance and it has been fun when we all get into a semi-circle. I am looking forward to doing the dance. By Tess T
 
LG2  We are performing ‘Footloose’.
Our dance is really fast and I found it a little bit tricky to learn the steps at the start. Now I think I am really good at all of the steps. I am really excited for the concert. By Imogen M
 
LG3 We are performing ‘Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat - Go Go Joe’.
I am playing one of the lead roles in our dance. I feel a little bit nervous because I’m going to be centre stage and everyone will see me. I am really enjoying practising the dance moves. Abbey
 
LG4 We are performing Blues Brothers Musical ‘Shake your tail feather’.
Our concert item is a very funky song because you have to be cooler than everyone else. I am feeling really excited about going on stage. Reuben H
 
POETRY
Learning Intention: I am learning to plan, draft and publish a variety of poetry pieces.
