Visit from the Shoalhaven Classic
Motorcycle Club.
Last Friday the Shoalhaven Classic Motorcycle
Club came to visit our school. The roar of the
engines as they arrived got most of our
students in the mood. Nearly all our students
had a sit on a motorcycle and lots of our
students went from one to the next until it
seemed they had tried out every single bike.
The Club didn’t just visit to let our students have
a turn of the motorcycles; they had a more
serious mission. On the day Sheryl accepted a
cheque for $2500 on behalf of Budawang
School. This money will used to help to build a
wonderful new sensory garden behind the Blue
class for all our students to use. Thankyou
Shoalhaven Classic Motorcycle Club!
Footy colours day
Between the NRL State of Origin and the
Soccer World Cup the students at Budawang
have gone footy crazy. And let’s just say “if you
can’t beat them, join them”. So on Wednesday
we held a Footy Colours day. Many of our
students arrived in blue or Maroon and others in
green and gold. When they arrived at school
and went out into the playground they found
blue, maroon, green and gold dress ups to add
to their costumes. There was much debate
about who would win and loose and which
player was the best but, the students were so
engaged and happy that I think that Budawang
School was the winner on the day
.
Red class visit the Lady Denman Museum.
Last week the red class was lucky enough to go
on an excursion to the Lady Denman Museum
in Huskisson. We had an amazing day. The
museum is named after the Lady Denman Ferry
that now lives at the museum. We loved
exploring the ferry including using the captains
steering wheel and ringing the bell. After
finishing looking through the ferry and the rest
of the maritime museum we went outside to
discover that there was a huge pond with fish to
feed and a boardwalk through the mangroves.
Wow, what a busy day we had but, boy, it was
fun.
Green Class
We are coming to the end of our horse riding
experience. With one week to go we have
thoroughly enjoyed it. This week we went on a
treasure hunt on our horses, we walked across
bridges and rivers and gathered treasure. We
have all learned so much and are wondering
when we can go again.
Yellow Class ‘rrrrrrrr’
The Yellow Class is exploring all things
associated with the letter ‘r’ this fortnight.
We’ve been reading a book about robots,
making a rainbow for the classroom (no pot of
gold has shown up yet!), and talking about
rabbits, running, rugs, rocks, and rivers!
climb. John and Tye have been using the
abacus to practise their counting and Sean is
the master of the chain ladder. Wow so much
fun, so little time!
