JUNE 2 - RECONCILIATION WEEK

Yesterday Lachie, Sophie and 1200 other students from local schools went for a walk around our amazing Blue Lake.


Our schools's students walked from the school up to the lake, others came by bus. We listened to a local aboriginal elder, the flag was raised then we began our walk.





This walk took a while as for some areas it was single file.


Children planted hands they had decorated.



Banners were judged and Sophie's class was a runner-up.


The weather was beautiful and we all had a lovely morning, it really is exhausting work keeping up the spirits of children that didn't want to walk the 5km but everyone made it and were happy to be back at school for a rest.

COMFORT FOOD

I spent today in the kitchen cooking up some yummy comforting food for my family.  Darren is feeling under the weather so what better way to make him feel better than with a hearty vegetable and beef soup with homemade crusty bread.

While I was at it, I made up a couple of quiches to satisfy some hungry bellies.

Warming nourishing food for a cold winter-like day.
