What's+on+this+term

26 April 2010 Dear Parents / Caregivers We are settling back in to term 2 and have a busy term of learning ahead of us. Let’s see what’s on this term……

Coming up in Week 5 Room 2 and 3 students are off to Gallaghers pools for the Swim Safe programme. More information will be sent home later this week. Thanks for your support with the shared learning that is coming home with your child. Regular reading, alphabet and basic sight word practice help to support their growth in literacy skills. Alphabet and basic sight word checks will continue on a Friday.

Our Library day is Tuesday this term. Students need to return their books through the slot in the library on or before library day. Freda the pet Rat is in residence in our class. Freda loves to go visiting at weekends. If you are interested in having Freda over a weekend please let me know. She comes with a cat friendly cage and goodies to eat! The owners of Freda are also seeking a new home for her. If you are interested in having a rat for a pet then phone Donna 823 6046. Term 2 is often a wet term. Please pack a change of clothes for those messy moments! Speeches are coming up this term. All students participate. Our topic is “An interesting place”. More information about helping your child prepare for speeches will come home in week 3.
