3SH's Wordle

3SH think Fearless could have been named something different like;
Oppey- because he does opposite things to humans
Buddy-  because he is a friend
Shortie- because he has short legs and fur
Blodgy- because of his markings
Brownie- because of his colour.

3KJ's Wordle respnse to 'Fearless' by Colin Thompson.

3 KJ believe that Fearless is not a good name for this dog because he is afraid of all the things that we are not afraid of and enjoys things that we are scared of!

 Dr Cameron Stelzer , author and illustrator of The Stroogle series of books, visited Grafton Public School students and engaged them in a series of workshops.
Kinder- Yr 2 were able to delve into Cameron's newest story
The Stroogle in space. Students were able to re-visit the many familiar characters they have come to know by reading about the Stroogle's adventures. The Illustrations kept the students intrigued and held additional challenges, including finding the letter and number on each page.

Students Yr 3- Yr 6 perticipated in an Imaginative Illustration workshop. This involves taking the head, body and tail from 3 differetn animals and creating your own imaginative creature.
