Term 4 ~ Week 6

Hi everyone,

I hope you've all had an enjoyable weekend and are ready to take on another week. Hopefully you all enjoyed a delicious meal made by your Room 5 child this week. I've enjoyed hearing all about them!!

As you all have probably heard, I am off overseas as of April next year. I won't be teaching at school but may be lucky enough to get some relieving from time to time. 

This week is a relatively normal week for us which is nice :) We are visiting the dam on Wednesday at 10.15. We will be busing there and back (Thanks to the PTA). At this stage we have 1 parent helper who will be travelling with us to the dam. If you are interested in coming please let me know ASAP.
DAM VISIT - Children need to wear their sports uniforms with long pants and a long sleeved top (if you still have a tracksuit this is perfect). Children and adults also need to wear covered in shoes. These are requirements from the dam so please ensure these are met.

On Friday Room 5 are leading mass at 12.00, please join us if you are able to. Room 2 are leading the school in assembly on Friday at 2.10pm.

Sunday is our First Communion Mass. It would be great to see you all there supporting the children from our school who are making their First Communion.

HOMEWORK:
This week there will be spelling, maths and reading homework as usual. It's also time for you to help your child to get ready for the final eisteddfod of the year - a song. The children will get more information about this during the week, but they will need to choose a song that is appropriate to present to the class (and potentially the school) and say a quick introduction about the song and why they chose it. Eisteddfods will be presented in class around the 3rd, 4th and 7th December. Eisteddfod assembly is on Thursday 10th December.

Next week - Festival of Cricket
All Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children will be attending an 8-aside cricket tournament in Alexandra on Tuesday 24th November. Children will need to be at school like normal by 9am so we can walk up to Molyneux Park for a 9.30 start. Children will need to ensure they have their full sports uniforms on and warm clothes as well as their hat and sunblock. 

If your child has a trophy/trophies at home for sports or eisteddfods, these need to be polished and returned to school ASAP as the prize giving assembly is coming around quickly. 

I Hope you all have a great week. 

Thanks

Jo :)
