It is a day for all Australians to embrace cultural diversity and to share what we have in common. The central message for Harmony Day is that ‘everyone belongs’, reinforcing the importance of inclusiveness to all Australians. Students will undertake some learning about inclusiveness around Harmony Day and some have been selected to play in the Harmony Cup Soccer day next Friday. Good luck to our soccer players. Congratulations Kindergarten Our Kindergarten children are all reading. Like swimming, reading is a skill and you can build the skill over time. You can be in the water but not necessarily swimming. You can flail about, splash in it, walk through it or paddle in it but you aren’t really swimming. Our Kinder students have been doing that with their words and sentences since they started; working with words, experimenting with them, learning their sounds and trying to work out their meanings. Now, they know what they are reading. They are making meaning from the words and sentences on the page and can tell us what they have read; forming their own ideas about the information and wanting to learn more. Well done Kinder. Keep up the good work!
