Each term, we have a spotlight on careers. Derek visited Lower School to talk all things plumbing this week. The children found lots of things out, including how Derek was involved in the plumbing of a school in Belarus. We were particularly proud of the children's thoughtful questions.

O’Keeffe class had a great time on Italian Day! The children learnt how Italy is a peninsula and that even their Capital City has a city in it! They tried to recreate some historic buildings with Lego and unleashed their inner Da Vinci and Michelangelo by making their own artwork; some on their backs just like Michelangelo did in the Sistine Chapel! The children also made Venetian masks and had a parade, singing Italian songs. Ciao!

Ciao! 👋 We’re having a wonderful Italian day here at DJPA! Children have regular Italian lessons so we thought we’d immerse ourselves in the spirit of Italy today- it’s a shame the sun didn’t join us! ☀️ ☔️ Here’s Mrs Crane going all out with her Italian flag and pizza hat! 🍕
