Book Week

This term, the Madrichim organised book week. We had activities to do, and prizes to be won. Putting together videos, we created short trailers for books. This was designed to encourage reading and literature. On one day, everyone got to dress up as characters and authors from their favourite books. It was a really fun day full of laughter, crazy costumes and activities. Our main activity was to redesign a book cover. Everyone created incredible designs, each one different to the next. These designs are now being judged and will soon be put up in the Primary Library to encourage children to read more as well as see what their peers are reading. The winners of the competition will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

Re-thinking Anti-Bullying day (from Term 1)

All winners’ videos will be shown to the school!

Building Buddies

The entire school will contribute to a mural for our school…  built by lego! Thanks to the people at PhotoBrick we were able to choose a photo and turn it into a massive lego picture. Every student in Years K – 6 will add some bricks onto the photo making this a fun school activity. We hope you will enjoy all of the activities to come!

News of the fortnight 

Due to COVID 19, we weren’t allowed to gather as a Primary School to have an assembly and show news of the fortnight. We thought of a way to continue news of the fortnight while keeping everyone safe. Every fortnight, two of the Madrichim get together and create a fun and educational movie to show to the Primary School students, informing people what happened during that fortnight.

This included SpaceX,  the Black Lives Matters movement and fun activities such as quizzes and games. COVID-19 has given all the Madrichim another perspective on the news of the fortnight. All of us enjoyed making these videos and hope all the students enjoyed watching them.
