Week 9 Notices

Thank you to all those wonderful parents who have helped out in our classroom this term. You contributions are invaluable and make a huge difference to the learning on our class.

Tuesday: Stations of the Cross at 10am in the Church

Wednesday: PE - Soccer skills. Bring your PE gear.

Wednesday: Medieval Feast with Room 3

Please bring food (the same or similar to Medieval Times) to share. Check your homework tasks to find recipe ideas. We will be watching a Medieval play, perform a range of dances, and then consume Medieval food. Mrs Nieuwboer and Mrs Todd will be contributing the 'interesting' food like ox tongue, pigs trotters and chicken feet for you to try!

Bring your Medieval costumes to change into. Think about the dances you are performing as this might determine what you can wear.

Thursday: Washing of the Feet Liturgy at 10am in the school hall.

No swimming this week. We will swim again in Term 4.

Library: Thursday
We will be able to visit the library on Thursday and you can issue new books to read over the holidays. You can add these books to your 'Holiday Reading' sheet which will be given to you this week.

I wish you all a happy Easter and a safe holiday break.
