Senior Unit Update Week 9 Term 4

Yes it is and as we wrap up the year there are still things we need to get done to finish of the year strong.

Bikes
Our sessions of Bike Ed has finished now and we would love to have you come and get your bikes. It was excellent to have the bikes and has made for a great sessions. Bikes can be picked up any day this week. Again thanks for sending the bikes in for the Bike Ed sessions.



Wonder

As part of the closing off of the year we will be playing the movie Wonder. Mrs Eckermann's class has read the novel this term and it will be a great chance to see how it translates to a movie and if it says true to the book. The movie is rated PG so we wanted to inform our community.
