Reminder: No pie warmers days this term. We will do this again in the winter terms.

Sun Hats: Although sun hats are only compulsory after Labour Weekend, this coming week is going to be quite hot. It will be a good idea for all children to wear their sun hats and sun screen this week.

Thank you to all parents and caregivers who supplied their children with pencils, pens and rulers last week. It means less time is wasted trying to find the correct equipment.

Library: Every Wednesday this term.

Clothing: Please name all clothing including sandals so that we can return lost items to the correct children. All unnamed clothing is placed in the 'Lost Property' box outside Room 6 if not claimed by children in the surrounding classes.

Homework: Homework has been set on the class blog.

Cake Stall: The Young Vinnies will be holding a cake stall on Wednesday at 10.30am outside Room 3. Cakes will be 50 cents and $1.00 each.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this week...soon it will be summer!

WELCOME BACK !!!! TERM 4

Welcome back to school, I hope everybody has had a fantastic break.
We are looking forward to another busy term filled with lots of hard work, some dancing, swimming and lots more.....

***NOTICES***

Uniform

We are in transition between wearing summer and winter uniforms. We expect all children to be in summer uniforms by the week after Labour weekend. We will not accept children wearing part of summer and winter uniform. They must be in one or the other. Sunhats will also need to be worn from Labour weekend too.

 

Swimming

The school pool is now open and classes will be swimming every alternate week. 

Swimming is part of our learning so it is expected that all children take part.  (If your child can not participate please send a note or email their teacher.)

Room 15 swimming this week.

Room 14 next week.

 

Reading Logs  

Hopefully lots of reading happened in the holidays.  Reading logs need to be returned to school this week.  Prizes will be handed out on Friday at assembly.  The class that returns the most reading logs will win a prize.   (Come on Room 14/15 it would be fantastic for one of us to win it.)

 

Concept

This term we will be learning about Symbolism.  We will be looking at symbolism in dance and culture.  If you are a talented dancer and would like to share your expertise with the children please let us know.

 

*There will be no pie warmer days this term*

Our innocent/guilty goldilocks debating

Today we had a debating session about goldilocks being a criminal or being innocent. We were put into 2 groups and the guilty team won!

!!!!!!!!REMINDERS!!!!!!!

Orders for Calendar Art need to be into the school office by this Friday.  If you wish to view your child's art it is in a green folder in the classroom.  Your child will show you where it is.

Reading!! A reading log will be sent home with your child this week.  They are encouraged to read over the holidays and record what they have read, it also needs to be signed by an adult.  If every student in their class returns their reading log after the holidays, there will be a special reward for that class. 
It is so important to keep up with the reading as students can fall behind if they have two weeks of no reading.  Maybe schedule a trip to the town library in the holidays.

Poetry Finals

Today we had the Middle School Poetry Finals.  Well done to all the students who participated in  the finals.  I would not have liked to have been the judge as they were all so good and there was only 1 point difference separating the winners in the Year 4 category.  The children spoke so confidently and they all had memorised their poems.  An amazing effort by all. You should all feel proud.
