When we had the rice lunch, children were asked to bring along a money donation to be used for the coin trail which is this coming Friday. All money was collected and the children who brought money to school will get the same amount back on Friday to place on the coin trail. If you still wish to donate money to the Solomon Islands, bring along some coins on Friday. Children can also wear mufti on Friday.

We will be swimming this week (mostly at school except for Tuesday). On Tuesday, children will walk to the Aquatic Centre for their last one hour swimming lesson and assessment. We will begin walking just after 9am and be back at school by 11.45am. Please make sure you bring togs and towel every day this week.

Religious Education: Last week, children brought their RE learning journals home to be viewed. Initially, I had written on the blog that they were to be signed by a parent, but then realised that there was no actual box/area set to do this. I changed the wording on the blog on Monday, but for all those parents who read the blog on Sunday, this was a bit confusing. My apologies for the change. At the front of the journal, there was one page that explained the RE programme - this was where a signature was required. When the journals next come home, there will be more work to view, and on one of the pages, there will be a box for you to sign and leave a comment.

Week 3 Notices

We had a great turn out of parents for the 'Meet the Teacher' evening. I have also had the pleasure of meeting many more parents over the last two weeks. Thank you for your support. I aim to continue building home / school partnerships throughout this year as this certainly has a positive influence on your child's learning and general well-being at school.

Camps: General information will be sent home shortly. We do not yet have exact costs for camps. But, if you wish to begin automatic payments, please contact the office. It might help if you don't have extra camp costs at the end of the year. Both Year 5 and 6 camps will be in December.

Swimming: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Bring your togs and towel on these days. Swimming tutors from the Aquatic Centre will be taking you for lessons.

Kick It: On Wednesday- bring your PE gear.

Homework: New homework has been set for two weeks. Study Ladder tasks have been added and you will all get usernames and passwords on Monday.

Gala Day: Next week, 27th February, is our Gala Day. Please bring in as many items as you can. House points will be given for each item you bring.

Manners: There is a big push at school for children to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Children, make sure you practise your manners at home and out in the community as well.

Have a great week.
