Purple Group

Welcome to Purple Group ! 

Purlpe Group  Teacher:  Rose

Our class totem is the Echidna.

The Echidna group is a safe and fun classroom for everyone.  You meet new friends and feel comfortable to ‘give it a go’.  Every week we look forward to greeting a new group of Echidnas.  

Our learning is hands-on and we do all the subjects you do at your home school just differently.  Often there are many year levels in the Echidna classroom.  Some of the activities we do include play maths games, computer activities, increase our animal knowledge with Kahoot, also there is time to pick an activity of your choice like lego or shops and sport time  is a favourite.  We are lucky to have Victoria who is amazing at art. 

Most importantly we are here to help and support you on your visit. Rose and Victoria look forward to seeing you soon!
