Today we had a surprise visit from Richard Hodgens from the Glenelg Hopkins Water Catchment Management Authority. He put us in teams of 3 or 4 and we looked to see whether the Moyne River near Hawkesdale or Hamilton Lake had the most water bugs or the most diversity. They came out to be about the same but the the water plants were different and the Lake bugs were more active. Good fun!

As part of our reading program, and for Education week , grade 4/5 visited the Hawkesdale Preschool and each student had to read a picture book to a kinder child. We outnumbered the kinder kids 4 to 1 , so the kinder kids heard up to 8 books each! We were meant to be there for 30 minutes but stayed for nearly 100 minutes. The older students played and socialised with their new younger friends. They had so much fun.
