From Mr Jones

With Tuesday's power outage we spent a lot of our learning time outdoors in the sunshine. We celebrated National Plant A Tree / Schools Tree Day and had a blast planting a range of wattle shrubs that were kindly donated by the Weddin Native Nursery. We can't wait to watch them flourish in years to come! This was a nice lead up to our trip out to the creek, where we sketched the local riparian area which we then hope to use in a special project marking Education Week.

SOCCER GALA DAY

On Friday (July 26) the Forbes Small Schools team, made up of students from Quandialla, Caragabal and Bedgerabong, faced some tough, cold conditions on the field.Our players showed incredible spirit and determination! In our first game against Condobolin, we fought hard, keeping it tied at 3-3 until late in the second half. Unfortunately, we ended with a 6-3 loss, but not without some fantastic efforts from Nic, Abri, and Locky, who all scored, incredible defence from Georgia, Clem and Kate, with assistance from Eddie and Georgia.

The second game saw some strategic position changes, leading to an exciting 2-2 draw against Forbes North. Eddie scoring a peach and Abri scored right on the buzzer, bringing the match to a thrilling conclusion. Incredible defence from Hunter, Locky, Clem and Roman kept us in the game.

Our team of Sarah, Clem, Hunter, Abri, Georgia, Kate, Nic, Eddie, Roman, and Locky played with the heart and skill of seasoned professionals. They communicated brilliantly, showed resilience and reflected on areas of growth with maturity beyond their years.
