Greetings to you all once again. Your child has had another week of wonderful learning experiences. We know that they are often so busy or tired when they get home after school that they do not share much of their school day with you. Please take the opportunity to have a look at the classroom blogs. It is great to see what your child's class has been doing and you can then click onto another blog of a different age group to see what they also have been doing. Please send a comment about what you see on the blogs. The children love to read the responses.
Cross Country
This annual event will be next week on Tuesday May 18th at Williams Park. The postponement date is Thursday May 20th. You will have received a notice outlining the details of the day but if you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask your child's teacher.
On the day, we need adults to transport our year 1 children to and from Williams Park. We are also desperate for adults to be Marshalls around the course for our older children. This involves first watching your year 1 to 4 child take part in their event and then standing in a particular place around the course to ensure our older children stick to the right track during their event. If you can help with marshalling or transport please contact Mrs Cody in room 2 as soon as possible. We would also like all of the children to dress up in their House colours as they will be seated in their 'House' groups and earning points for their 'House' on the day. As mentioned last week all our year 2 children from rooms 2, 5 and 6 will be going for a walk around the track during this week.
Information Workshops
Thank you to those parents who have informed me of their attendance at the forthcoming information sessions. This week on Thursday May 13th at 1. 40 p.m. in the library I will be discussing mathematics and how you can help your child. The same information session will be repeated at 7 pm in room 3 on the same date. It is not too late to come along so please email me if you would like to attend and have not done so already.
School Production
In Term 3 we have our fantastic school production and every child in our school will play a part. We have started planning for this and at this stage I am compiling a list of adults who would be available to help sew or make some of the costumes and also who would like to do some face painting. If you are interested in helping with this could you please email me?
Can you help?
We need some small cardboard boxes, egg cartons and magazines for the children to use in construction work. If you have any to spare could you please drop them into room 3?
Gymnastics
The children will be taking part in gymnastics later in the term as part of our physical education programme. More details will follow at a later date.
Have another great week! I look forward to seeing you all supporting your child and their friends at our Annual Cross Country next week.
Kind regards
Maureen Buckley
Deputy Principal
