Fundraiser for Japan

Well done to our Japan Community and school for their efforts to raise money to help the Japanese people in their time of need.

Our schoolwide mufti day raised over $800 to give to Red Cross for support to Japan. The students got to add their coins to the coin trail in the hall today.

We have some incredibly generous-spirited students at Red Beach who gave much more than just one gold coin and from their own pocket money. RICH HEARTS all the way!

SAME but DIFFERENT

This year, we are learning about the big concept of SAME but DIFFERENT.

There are similarities and differences between cultures.

We are learning that...around the world people do the same things in their daily lives but in different ways. People also value different things.

There are rules or laws that help us make sense of the world.

We are learning that...the sun is the same regardless of where you are in the world. The planet earth moves around the sun. Day and night can be different in different places. The position of a country on the planet affects its climate and seasons.

The arts help us to create and express ourselves in different ways.

Our ideas/stories, and others' ideas/stories can be expressed in art.
