Term 4, Week 4

Hi All,

I cannot believe we have hit week 4...this leaves us with 6 and a half weeks left of school!  We'll be packing in a mega load of learning between now and then.
At the moment in class the children are researching bees and pollination.  When we dig into the science of how bees and plants a co-dependent, there's a real appreciation for the amazing life processes that happen every day - we are keeping an eye out for this in our school garden too.  I'd encourage you to ask your kids about what they have learned so far.

Central Sports:  For those of you who have children attending the CO's on Tuesday please ensure they have their full sports uniform, sunhat, sunscreen, plenty of food AND water.  Myself, Mr Yeoman and Mrs Eastwood will be accompanying the children.

Thyme Fest Lunchtime Concert:  This Wednesday 2nd November. 

Assembly:  This week Rooms 5 and 6 will share assembly.

Family Mass:  Saturday 5th November - A picnic lunch will precede this along with some fun games - starting at 5pm.  

Have a great week awesome parents,  and remember that I reckon your kids are awesome too!  Room 5 Rocks!

Mrs Lyon.

SPORTS UNIFORM TOMORROW

Late notice sorry - can the children please wear sports uniform tomorrow as we have athletics practice in the afternoon.
Thanks!

Term 4, Week 3

Hi all,

A big congratulations to all the students in our school for an amazing effort in the school production. The show was a big success and we have had all sorts of lovely feedback from audience members on how wonderful it was.  I have to say that it has been timely having an extra day in the weekend to recover from the busyness of the last 2 weeks.

This week at school...not too much is happening.  I will have my release day on Thursday so Mrs Sanders will be in class then.

Term 4, Week 2

HI all,

Please read the previous post for information regarding production practice.

Please remind your children to have all of their costumes brought to school in a named bag TOMORROW so that they can be ok'd and ticked off for having everyone sorted.

NOW is a good time to get into the office and purchase tickets for the shows.  There is a matinee performance on Wednesday at 1pm and night time performances on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The show is going to be a huge success - the kids have worked so hard and the singing is amazing!

Softball/T-Ball:  Tomorrow there will be a notice coming home regarding these two sports.  It is important that these be returned by Wednesday so that teams can be sorted.

Touch:  We will begin touch games next week after last week's change in timetable and this week's production on Thursday night.  It is great to have so many kids playing and a big thanks goes out to the parent's who have offered their help in managing the teams.  

We will have spelling words and a maths homework sheet this week. 

I think that's it for now, see y'all at the show!

Mrs Lyon
