Students are invited to bring a piece of fruit or raw vegetable to the collection box (outside the hall by the Junior Playground) before school on Friday. Some of the parents on the Health Promoting Schools team will then prepare the fruit and veges for shared platters which will be available outside the hall at morning tea time. Please send a piece of fruit or a vegetable that can be eaten raw (e.g. carrot/ celery/tomato/broccoli/ cauliflower) to school on Friday if you are able to. Thank you.

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.

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.
