Happy Easter Aspley Families,

The past two weeks in the library have flown by! Your children have been engaged and invested in our learning during this time. Last week we read books about multiculturalism, honouring Harmony Day and our multicultural country. The students were thrilled to talk about where their ancestors have come from and we learned about how our skin colour is directly correlated with sun, genetics and melanin.

This week we have been remembering and honouring the ANZAC soldiers who have fought and died for the freedom that we have in this beautiful country. I am proud of the students for their respect and engagement during these lessons. We have read books such as, “Why are they Marching Daddy?”, “My Grandad Marches on Anzac Day”, “ANZAC Ted”, “The ANZAC Tree”, and “Simpson and his Donkey”.

This is my last week as the temporary librarian at Aspley State School. Thank you for entrusting me with your children and the books! I would like to wish you all a happy and safe term holidays.
