Yesterday, our wonderful Year 2 students enjoyed a very special day at Floriade.

The day began with a highlight—our school choir’s performance. Some Year 2 students proudly sang on stage with Ms McDonald and the choir, while the rest of Year 2 cheered them on with big smiles. Congratulations to Ms McDonald and the choir for their amazing performance—the choir shone brighter than the flowers!

Another special highlight of the day was a surprise visit from Mr and Mrs Osborne-Goldsbrough, who came to watch Penny and the choir perform. They also introduced us to their beautiful baby daughter, Primrose. Congratulations to Louise, Josh, and the Osborne-Goldsbrough family on your precious new arrival!

Afterwards, the students set off on a gnome hunt, working in teams to search for as many gnomes as they could. While they didn’t quite find them all, the excitement and teamwork made it a memorable experience.

Next, students had the chance to sit near the Ferris wheel and flower beds, where they created beautiful artworks on canvases using Texta paints. Surrounded by colour and creativity, it was a perfect moment of calm.

The day ended with lunch and plenty of fun on the playground before boarding the bus home. Unsurprisingly, the bus was very quiet—everyone was tired after such a big day!

A huge thank you to our amazing parent helpers, whose time and support ensured the day ran smoothly. Your help supervising small groups made this excursion such a success.

We are so proud of our Year 2 students and the choir.  They represented our school beautifully with their excellent behaviour and enthusiasm.
