Term 4, Week 1.

Welcome back everyone,  I trust the kids have all had a nice break from school and are ready to get back into the swing of things for our final term for 2016.

Term 4 is pretty busy so please remember to check the blog for up to date information specific to Room 5.  The newsletter is the best place for all other news.

Swimming: Our last swimming day will be on Tuesday morning.  We have an earlier swim time of 9:30am to enable us to get back to school for production practice at 10:30am.  Please ensure your child is at school on time on Tuesday morning as we will leave promptly after a short prayer and roll call.  Normal togs and goggles are the go for the pool this week.

Production Costumes:   You child will either be a Raindrop, Animal or Elvis in the production  There are some requirements for costumes.  Raindrops will need to wear blue long sleeves and pants (any blue is fine) and will be decorated with some sort of raindrop accessory...to be finalised this week.  If your son is in the Elvis dance they will need to wear a shirt with a collar and jeans - with school shoes.  Animals with specific speaking/singing parts will be assigned onesies by Mrs Wright.

Production:  This will be in Week 2
Wednesday 19th October - 1pm Matinee and evening performance 6:30pm
Thursday 20th October - Evening performance 6:30pm.
Tickets are on sale at the school office - prices are $10 per adult and $5 for children  (Matinee pricess are $5 adults and children free).
Please invite as many friends and family members as you can.

Labour Weekend:  Labour day this year is Monday 24th October - school will be closed on this day as usual.

Touch 7's:  There will be a meeting held in Room 5 at lunchtime tomorrow (MONDAY) for those children in Years 4-8 who are interested in playing touch.  A notice will come home and it must be returned by TUESDAY.   Games will begin THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK!!!

School Athletics Day:  Friday 28th October.  PLEASE NOTE THIS DAY HAS CHANGED!!

Sun Hats: Please ensure your child wears their sunhat at school everyday from now on.  There were a few sneaky sunburn days last term so we need to be vigilant with sun protection from now on.

Have a good week,
Take care,

Mrs Lyon.
