Defence School Mentor News
Hello Enoggera State School Community and Defence Families
How are we already so far into Term 2?! Thank you all for your patience as I get back into the swing of the Newsletter. It was a busy start to the Term with our ANZAC Day Ceremony in the first week back. It was a beautiful ceremony and I felt so proud watching so many Defence students lay wreaths for their class. It was also Mother’s Day just past and hope that all our Defence mums felt the love and hopefully had some time to rest. I know that’s one of the best presents you can get!
FORTNIGHTLY DEFENCE KIDS HQ UPDATE
Defence Kids Club has been a bunch of fun as usual. We got a new game called Spot It and have had some very competitive games. Gwen and Dakoda are by far the reigning champions so far. Throughout last term, I found that everyone loved decorating paper plates and cups, so we stocked up and now have plenty of things to decorate. I would say that stickers are our favourite thing at Defence Kids HQ. Who knew putting stickers on paper plates and cups could be so fun! We made some little magnets for Mother’s Day and I hope that you all love them. Everyone was so excited to create something, and we talked about how much we love our Mum’s the whole time. Below are two special magnets that we made for Mother’s Day.
Defence Kids HQ is on every Thursday and Friday Big Lunch in D Block Art room.
