The circus performance was the highlight of our circus theme. A variety of interesting acts including gymnasts, clowns and magicians entertained us all. All performers loved watching Miss Wilkie’s video of the circus. We have been very fortunate to have Miss Wilkie working with us this year and we all wish her all the best for next year.

Thankyou to everyone in Grade 2PM for making 2008 such a happy and enjoyable year. I wish you and your families a very happy holiday. 

We were very excited to sing  at the launch of the Wishing Tree in the K Mart plaza. It was lovely to see so many parents and friends there to watch us perform.

At Trash and Treasure we donated the money to Ronald McDonald  House.   Nikita.

It is called Trash and Treasure because it is trash for them and treasure for us. It was fun. I could have stayed there all day. I bought eleven things. Grade 2PM went and three other grades went too.    Kate.

At Wastebusters there was a mega can magnet and it dropped cans into a big bin. Next we went to the Transfer Station. There was a crane lifting a shed where you drop rubbish into a big bin down the edge of the drop off. Next we went to the land fill. It was over 23 years old.      Brock H

If the plastic bags go into the machine they get stuck. The truck picks up all the steel and takes it to the melting place where it is made into new metal. The cans get squashed into blocks and go to Melbourne.    Brock W

At the wastebusters there were squashed cans in a cube shape. We looked at the rubbish that was getting sorted. Do not put plastic bags in your recycling bin because the machinery will get blocked up and won’t work. Then we went to the transfer station. There were men sorting out metal. We saw a shed of things you can buy. Then we went to the landfill. The big hole was nearly full. They will cover it with the dirt that is around it. When the tip is covered it could be farm land again but there are two other holes ready to be filled with rubbish.        Sarah

Lots of rubbish.     Kyla
