Term Three, Week Four

Hi Parents - another reminder to PLEASE double-check that jumpers are named.  If they are looking a little faint, go over the names again.  We have a lot of missing jumpers and even more unnamed ones coming and going from our classroom.  Also - for the girls - if they are wearing tights to school, please send socks as well.  It does warm up nicely during the day and some of the girls like to change out of their tights.  They need to have socks to do so.  Stay warm!! 

What’s On?

• Our Library day is Monday.  Remember to bring in books for changing or renewing. Bags are essential! Even a plastic shopping bag.

• Homework will be sent home on Mondays.  We will be adding a Show and Tell component this term.  More information to follow.  Readers will be changed and sent home this week.  Keep up the excellent daily reading!

SAVE THE DATE: Ekka Week, Book Week and Under 8s Day all fall in Week Six of this term.  More information to follow.

Term Three, Week Two

So the weather outside is frightening..well sometimes. As a result we are donning jumpers and tights to keep the chills at bay.  PLEASE double-check that jumpers are named.  If they are looking a little faint, go over the names again.  We have a lot of missing jumpers and even more unnamed ones coming and going from our classroom.  Also - for the girls - if they are wearing tights to school, please send socks as well.  It does warm up nicely during the day and some of the girls like to change out of their tights.  They need to have socks to do so.  Stay warm!!
