Around the Classrooms As part of our Respectful Relationships sessions in Grade 3/4B we have been

discussing the different emotions that we can feel. We have identified what they

can look like and different situations that can make us feel them. The students have

enjoyed identifying both positive and negative feelings.

Over the next few weeks the junior students will be

investigating the community that we live in. They will

take part in some town walks to explore and meet

with some of the local business people, look what

services are available in our towns and what facilities

we have. Places they visited this week were the Men's

Shed, the Community Garden, the Business Centre,

the Library, Gidding’s Co Supermarket and Ciurleo’s Ice

Creamery.
