Term 4, Week 8

Hi All,

We are now without a doubt on the downhill slide to summer holidays...!

This week we have a few things to sort for the end of the year.
We have been practicing our song/dance for the end of year assembly.  Please encourage your kids to learn the words/moves as often as possible...this will make for a slick performance and an appreciative audience.
Next Wednesday afternoon we will be heading to the Dunstan High School tech kitchen for some Christmas baking fun. Mrs Sanders, myself and the children will be walking up to the school and fixing up some treats for ourselves and to give to others.  If there are any parents who are keen to join us or drop equipment to school this would be greatly appreciated.  The children have been planning what they are making and also what they will need to do this.  We are using the kitchen space for ovens and bench tops and that's pretty much it, so if there are anythings more specific needed, your child will need to bring this along.
Mrs Sanders and myself will provide flour, sugar and eggs (if needed - if you can supply these that would be great).

LITTLE BIG DAY OUT:  On Sunday the 11th of December I would like as many children as possible from Room 5 to sing our end of year song at this concert.  It is a fundraiser for my brother Ben's charity and we have a timetabled slot to perform here.  I'll be sending out a notice and need this returned by the end of this week with an indication of attendance please.

VISION MEETING:  Next Tuesday night there will be a parent evening to share with you all our vision statements for St Gerard's School.  Ben (brother) will be talking about his own vision with Food for Thought programme he runs in Argentina.  Please come along to hear and learn about the visions and also listen to Ben talk about what he's up to.  My brother is doing an amazing job and I am so very proud of him - his talk will be funny AND informative.


FAMILY RECIPES - please send these to school - it can be any recipe that is a favourite in your house.  The Recipe Committee really wants families to have an active involvement in this process so that the recipe book result is ACTUALLY a reflection of our school families.

Thanks Team,
No homework today...some will come home tomorrow.

Mrs Lyon
