Weekly Newsletter Term 1 Week 4

Room 4 Newsletter

Week 4 (February 20 - 24)

Testing

There will be formal testing this week and next week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). This will be in the first block (9am to 10.40am). Unless your child is sick, we would appreciate it if your child was at school. Please try not to make appointments during this time. The testing gives us important information for planning our learning programmes and it’s hard to find time to catch them up on a missed test.

School Gala

I have attached a copy of the newsletter about the gala that came out a week ago. We are collecting items for sale at the gala. These can be brought to the classroom where there will be a box for collection.

Could each family contribute the following this week:

·      a bag of wrapped chocolate lollies (from last week)

·      a bottle or jar of dressing/cordial/chutney

Important dates next week:

Monday

Lloyd Elsmore swimming lessons (bring togs, towels, caps, goggles)

Our time has changed. Room 4 will be leaving school at 11am and swimming at 11.30.

Thanks to those who have returned the permission slip. If you have not yet, please return the permission letter or email your permission to travel to Lloyd Elsmore by bus. There is no cost.
