Junior Jottings number 6!

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

We have had another lovely week at school and are looking forward to sharing our learning with our grandparents or grandfriends on Monday April 4th. Parents should have received a newsletter this week outlining the details of this occasion. Please send along an item to school this week. The item (keepsake) needs to be connected with a grandparent that your child can bring along to share i.e. an object that has a personal or emotional connection to a grandparent, something that evokes feelings and memories. It can be small and inexpensive e.g. a shell collected at the beach on a visit together, a book that they enjoy, something that has been handed down to them etc. Talk about the story of their keepsake with them so that they can share this at school. We will return all of the items.

Thank you for sharing your childhood experiences with your child. They have really enjoyed hearing about what you and your parents did when you were young. Thanks too for completing the family tree sheets and returning them to school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child's teacher.

School photos
The taking of photos will continue next week as follows -
Monday - March 28th - Room 6 at 9 a.m.
Tuesday - March 29th - Room 1 at 9 a.m. and Room 4 at 11.00 a.m.
Wednesday - March 30th - Room 2 at 9 a.m.
Friday - April 1st the children will be having sibling photos. Please send along a hairbrush.

Earth Hour
Tomorrow is Earth hour. This is a global event organized by World Wildlife Fund and is held on the last Saturday of March annually. Households and businesses are asked to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. It starts at 8.30 p.m.

Assembly
There will be a full school assembly next Friday April 1st at 1.30 p.m. in the hall if you would like to join us.

Enjoy the lovely weather in the last week before we put the clocks backwards next weekend as Daylight saving ends.

Kind regards
Maureen Buckley
Deputy Principal
