Junior Jottings number 19

Dear Parents and Caregivers

What another lovely week we have had. We have been watching our older siblings and buddies making their Wearable Arts costumes and are looking forward to seeing the show later this term.

It is hard to believe that daylight saving is here already. The children will be bringing home their slippers at the end of the term and will need to bring named sunhats on the first day of Term 4.

Calendars
Thanks to everyone who ordered the calendars, diaries or cards. They will arrive back early next term.

Hot dogs
These are on Wednesdays till the end of this term. Thank you to those parents who have given up their time to do this.

Hooked on Books
This programme will be finishing at the end of this term. We really appreciate the time that parents have given to listen to our children read. You have made such a difference to their learning.

Term 4
We have planned some exciting learning experiences for your child including an Athletics Day, Cross Country run, Education Outside the Classroom and Christmas concert. Our Inquiry will be focusing on how to keep safe in the sun and water. In writing we will be introducing the children to poetry and in Visual Art we will be doing more mixed media art and printmaking. Dates of the planned events will be in next week's Junior Jottings.

Meetings with Parents
To all those parents who would like to discuss their child's classroom placement for next year and have not made an appointment as yet please email me.

Home and School 'Hat' fundraiser
You will have received notices about the surf hats and bucket hats that are on sale. These are really good quality and Cancer Society approved. With the events mentioned above the children dress in their 'House' colours so a sunhat in their colour would be great. You could also purchase hats for friends or other family members. Siblings are all placed in the same 'House' when they come to school.

Full School Assembly
Our next Full School Assembly will be on the last day of the term and not next week as the cat walk for the Wearable Arts show will be put up in the hall instead.

Have a great week.
