Hi everyone

Children will need suitable clothes including a warm jacket, waterproof pants if possible, a hat, mittens and a helmet. Skating clothes can be worn to school. For costing, please check the newsletter.

Also this is the last week for learning Eisteddfod poems as we will be listening to them in class next Monday and Tuesday.

Swimming

Swimming was very successful with the children making good progress in the pool.  The instructors were great as they worked with the various groups.  A huge thank you to all the parents who were able to come and help the children with dressing afterwards.

Week 7 Term 2

We hope that everyone had a super weekend!!

We had some super duper hockey players today in Cromwell!!! Well done everyone, was pretty impressive to have 4 teams representing St Gerard's.

This week we are very lucky to have Monica Brown performing for us on Friday. The children may be practicing some of her songs at home. (Our God is Good, ask for a performance of this song)

Holy Family school will be joining us on Friday morning for the concert. Then we are going to have a PMP session with the Year 1 and 2's. If you are able to help out with this from 11.40am till 12.45pm please let us know.

Skating starts soon so time to check if you have the clothing needed for skating. 

Everyone should have sorted a poem by the end of this week, if you are having trouble please come and see us this week. Poems will be presented at the start of week 10.

Children are welcome to wear green track pants on Wednesday for PMP and Friday for PE.

Children can use Sunshine online, password and login will be in children's homework books.

This is a great site that the school has purchased, so go on and have a look.

Have a great week
