Who Got
Spotted
this week? Eden Brilley
On Eden's first day of kindergarten
Ernie was excited to see her
already being a responsible role
model for her classmates. While
walking to her classroom after lunch
Eden was holding hands with her
partner and walking safely behind
the person in front of her.
Ashleigh Dalton Ernie peeked in on JVB Class and
found Ashleigh intently listening to
the teacher instructions, putting
her hand up waiting to be invited
to answer questions and watching
carefully to see how to do the
learning activities. Ashleigh is a
wonderful role model for her class
and for our school.
Learne
r
Damon Bruce
On the first day back at school
Ernie was very happy to step into
4/5/6SD to spot Damon Bruce taking
notes for Mrs Deppeler. He noticed
Damon was listening to his peers and
writing up a list of suggestions for the
class pack up song. Damon also volun-
teered to help organise paint for art
and cleaned up afterwards. What a
great class captain he is going to be.
