Term 3 Week 9

Term 3 Week 9

Swimming

It has been a great start to our Swim Safe fortnight. Thank you to those people who have helped on the buses and at the pools. 

This is the doc if you would like to sign up to help on the bus next week.

Remember - 

• Togs, towel and goggles (optional) in a separate bag
• Jandals/Flip flops/slips (these are optional but make getting changed much faster and easier)
• A bit more lunch than normal (swimming makes the children very hungry!)
• No sausages on a Friday as we will not be at school over lunchtime.

Because at least one Home Base of Year 2s will be offsite or preparing to be offisite from 11.30am until 2.30pm we will not be sending reading books home for the two weeks we are swimming. 

Reminder to bring Pyjamas or track pants with a long sleeve top on Friday for Swimming 

Hats for Term 4

A reminder that during the Summer Term all children 

require school hats so we are Sun Smart in Term 4

Coming Up in Week 10:

• Tuesday: Library
• Wednesday: Carl is out on Leadership release for the day - Kate Hamilton will be in as reliever
• Friday: Pyjama Day at swimming - the children will need winter pyjamas or track pants and a top to wear in the swimming pool
• Friday: Last day of Term 3 (remember no sausages due to swimming times)

Book Week

We had a great time dressing up as our favourite book characters on Friday. The weather really played its part in making the conclusion of book week very successful.

Gardening!

We have been busy with our inquiry this term. Some of us have chosen to get the school gardens tidied up and ready for some plants. Others are making movies, posters and letters to remind people some of the messages we have learnt about looking after our environment. 
A big thank you to those who have donated their time or plants for our project.
