Out PBL focus for this fortnight is "Do Something Kind". Each morning and during class time we have been encouraging our students to do something kind throughout their day.

Just a reminder that school goes back on Monday the 9th of October for all students.

Crazy Hair Day! Way to go Mr Chapman and the SRC! Raising over $500 for Cancer Council.

Kindy independently doing 2-point perspective brick wall drawings in Visual Arts with Ms Alexander.

Stage 1 had an amazing day at Shoalhaven Zoo. We snuggled koalas and wombats, held snakes and other reptiles, fed horses, kangaroos, goats and bunnies and saw many different reptiles and other amazing animals! We are all very tired!!!!!

K/1T did an amazing job leading the assembly today! They sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and counted to 10 in Chinese. They also said; hello, goodbye & thank you! Mrs Toll & Miss Reid are super proud of all of you!

Our PBL focus for this fortnight is "Use Kind Words". At FMDS we are always promoting the importance of being a great friend and treating everyone with repect.

Netball gala day underway at Guest Park! Go FMDS!

What better way for our preschoolers to bring in Spring than a visit to Hello Petal Flowers! After marvelling at the amazing artworks in the window (what super artists we have at Preschool) we headed inside to choose a few of our favourite blooms to bring back with us. Then we headed to The Broken Drum for a special treat of babycinos and marshmallows. Yum! Our chocolatey, sticky faces say it all. Thank you so much to all our wonderful parent and grandparent volunteers as well as Mr Brightwell, Mrs Mawson and our Intern and work experiences students who joined us. Your helping hands certainly made a difference! And an extra special thanks to Hello Petal Flowers and The Broken Drum for letting us descend upon you and being so welcoming. What a wonderful community we have in Fairy Meadow.
