Welcome to week 10 from Cienna and Mason

Welcome to our week 10 Newsletter


Hi Carrum families,

We can't believe there is only one week left! How exciting, but also sad.
In our last few exciting weeks we have many things still to enjoy.

Last Thursday we had an open afternoon to showcase our learning, thanks to our families and other classes for visiting.

Last week our marine ambassadors were lucky enough to swim with some dolphins and see some seals and had a great day out.

We know the 1\2s enjoyed their mini beast incursion learning all about creatures and more. 
Our school also had an environment day that Ruby in year 6 organised for the whole school with different activities and prizes. Thanks to the leaders that worked hard wih her on this day

For an end of year celebration the year 5\6s  and their teachers went to the gravity zone which was so much fun! 

On Thursday we had an amazing Christmas concert and a big thank you to Miss Chivotti for all her hard work arranging that for us! The Christmas songs were spectactular!

Next Wednesday the year 6s also have their bike ride to Bicentennial park.

On Monday the 15th of December its' the grade 6 graduation which will be a sad but an exciting night for our year six parents and families.

It's so exciting that there is only one week left of school!! Soon the year sixes will be off to their high schools! How crazy is that? We know you will miss us!

This is also our last newsletter piece for the year, we hope you have enjoyed reading our front pages.
