Week 8!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for an extremely late post. It's been a mad start to the week!

We had a fantastic afternoon yesterday with Bruce Potter (writer/illustrator). He showed the children how to doodle - it's fair to say we were all pretty amazed! He was very talented! Please make sure you pay the $2 cost per child.

Athletics rotations started this afternoon. We will be practicing athletic skills on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons this week and next week. Sports gear can be worn to school on these days. Swimming continues on Thursdays for the remainder of the term. 

Homework:
Spelling, reading and maths like usual. The children should be well underway with their eisteddfod speeches as these are going to be presented on Monday of Week 10. If your child is having any issues with their speech, please encourage them to come and talk to me before the end of the week. This will be the last week of spelling and maths as I want to give the children enough time to learn their speeches well next week. :)

Camp forms are due back in on Friday. Thanks to those of you who have already filled these out and returned them to me.

A massive thank you to everyone who sponsored their children to do the skipathon. As a school we have raised over $650 for the Heart Foundation which is amazing!!!

The musical is slowly coming together. Practices will be taking up more of our days as of this week. If your child has a speaking/singing part please make sure they are practicing at home. 

The end of the term is approaching very quickly!

Have a happy week :)

Jo
