Beatlemania!!

BEATLEMANIA!!!

The Upper Secondary students have really got into the 'swing of things' when studying The Beatles as part of their topic on the sixties.

The children have enjoyed learning about the music of the Beatles so much, they decided they wanted to recreate their own versions of some of the most iconic Beatles album covers.

By carefully selecting appropriate props and locations around the school, they carefully arranged themselves to create almost identical compositions - See what you think!!!!



And the long awaited....
'Upper Primary's Lonely Hearts Club Band' album cover.

Romance in the Infant Department!!

Romance in the Infant department

Yes, it’s true..... Love is in the air in the corridors of SBS as the infant children busy themselves with preparation for Valentine’s day. Miss Forbes has been helping the children to create individual greetings cards to send to their loved ones this Valentine’s day. Of course, no card would be complete without that extra special sprinkling of glitter and that all important message of love, and there’s no one we love more than our mums and dads. Well done Infants!

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone from the children at SBS.

Welcome to the Chinese year of the Dragon...

Lower Primary Welcome in the Chinese Year of the Dragon.

The children in the Lower Primary class helped to bring in the Chinese New Year of the Dragon by putting on a fantastic class assembly.

They began by retelling a classic Chinese fable on how a wise old emperor of China decided the order of the animals of which each year is named after, before describing the characteristics of a person born in each Chinese year.

The assembly was brought to a close by the handing out of very special hand-made fortune cookies, complete with individual fortunes, all written by the children of Lower Primary themselves.

The Children of Lower Primary would like to thank Mrs Martinez for helping them to organise their assembly and special thanks also to Lulu who helped bring an element of authenticity to the assembly with Chinese clothes and music. Lulu also designed a very special arrangement of Chinese characters for the school which means ‘the bringing together of a family’, which I’m sure you’ll all agree is a true reflection of the spirit here at SBS. You can see Lulu’s framed gift to the school in the entrance hall by the school office.
