  In September, most of the kids in Years 5 & 6 travelled by bus to Wombat Corner Camp in Emerald. We were all really excited and couldn’t wait until we got our camp booklets so we could find out who our cabin mates were. Ten minutes after we’d moved in, most of the cabins looked like a cyclone had gone through! We did so many things at camp, it’s hard to remember every activity but here goes - flying through the air on the fabulous flying fox, eating, wobbling around the ropes course, hitting the golf ball around the mini-golf course, eating, abseiling down the rock wall, paddling a canoe in the lake, eating, taking a long walk over and past the Puffing Billy track, jumping up and down on the trampoline, eating and playing table tennis and snooker in the Games Room!! Did I mention the great food??? If you ask some people they’ll tell you that their favourite activity was playing sock wrestling! Other people had a great time dressing up and acting out their plays at night in the hall. On the final day we walked over to the Emerald Lake Park and did a massive scavenger hunt. Unfortunately we ran out of time to do everything because we had to try and squeeze more food into us (lunch) before loading our bags onto the bus and heading back to school. After three days of activities and lots of laughs we were exhausted but everyone had a great time. Have a look at some of the pictures we took over the three days … |

 What a great sound Pender's Grove makes when they all sing together! We nearly brought the roof down singing "The Music is Everything" at 11.30 on Thursday. It was so great we sang it twice. Thank you to all those students from Prep to Year 6 who put in the time and effort learning the words, melody and actions and then sang with all their heart. Music is a great gift of our humanity and sharing it together is a wonderful thing. It is a great song this year too, written by John Foreman and others to highlight the importance of music in our education. To check out the project and this years song and music information, go to www.musiccountusin.org.au. You can also download sheet music, music as MP3 files and lyrics. |

With eyes wide and lots of questions about the term students started back at Pender's today. It was great to hear the many enthusiastic greetings and see the smiles as our learning community started the final term of the year. Students quickly settled back into their routines and dived into learning experiences. Lots has been planned already so keep an eye out to catch the latest news on excursions, school events and what is happening in our classrooms by visiting our site. |

 Students from Prep to Year 6 stepped and grooved to some great rythms today. For many the movements were fluid while others were just happy to have a go! The school hosted a special visit from Footsteps Dance Company introducing everyone to a number of new dance routines. There were laughs as everyone made sure the newly polished hall floorboards were scuffed up! Zach, in Year 5, said, "The best part was how the instructor related to us. She used lots of humour and we all had a great time." |
