Trip or Event News
Tuesday May 15th is the K3G class assembly. The assembly starts at 10am. Dont forget your camera! There is a letter coming home soon about the Annular Eclipse on May 21st. Please read this very carefully as we need to ensure childrens safety at a times.
Reminders
Just a friendly reminder to all K1 parents to please make sure all your childrens belongings are named. There are a lot of things in the lost property box (which is in the office) because they have no names on them. Also can all parents picking up their children at 1.30pm leave the car parking area as soon as possible and not stay until 2.00pm. Thank you. Sun hats and sun cream! Please can we remind all parents that as it gets sunnier it is important that children are protected from the sun when they go outside? Teaching staff do not have enough time to put cream on for children, so can parents please remember before children come to school. Staff will ensure that children wear hats (if they are brought to school). For all Kindergarten parents; if you dont want your child to drink the tap water at school, please pack an extra bottle of water for your child
Curriculum Corner!
If youre reading books at home with your child, why not try to have them design a new book cover for the story? This is a really good for keeping kids busy on rainy days.
