I am sure you have noticed the homepage on Google and the logos and doodles that change every so often.
A recent one is in reference to Les Paul’s contribution to music.
At the time I was intrigued that you were able to “make music” by strumming the strings on the logo. What I didn’t notice is that you are also able to record your music making (see the little black record button on the right).
Have a go – see what music you can make.

The National Lutheran Chaplains Conference is into its last day.

We are collecting the Little Mates books from Scholastic. These cute little books are a lovely way to introduce alliteration or focus on a letter (i.e. A). We are up to the letter C.
Another wonderful thing about these books is they are based around Australian animals and settings. Perfect. Highly recommended for little bodies.
