Stage 2 have been inspired by Jodi Toering's book "Rain on the Rock". We looked carefully at all her superlative literary devices! We learnt so many new words. We then tried our hand at writing our own descriptions of Uluru. They were mesmerising and emotive. Here are a few samples of brave children who shared them with the class. We hope you enjoy them!

Stage 2 did some excellent thinking in Mathematics today. We looked at this picture of the dice... what do you notice? What patterns can you see? How can you describe it (using numbers and operations)? Mrs Clarke is SO proud of these clever thinkers! Can any of our families have a go? What would you do?

Here's another snippet of our amazing school choir singing Solid Rock 'acapella style' at last week's Sky Country Expo. As luck would have it, right at the start of the first chorus, the backing track dropped out, but the choir was so focussed and professioinal, that they didn't bat and eyelid, but continued, powering on like nothing happened. What an incredible team! #stcaniceskatoomba #skycountryexpo #stcanicesmusic #stcanices #lovelivelearn #SolidRock #ReconciliationWeek2025
