Week 7, Term 4

Hi everyone,

Well we had a very successful dairy farm visit last Wednesday and the weather held out for us - we were even able to eat lunch in the sunshine!  A big thank you to those parents who came along as helpers and a special thank you to Emma and Hamish for being such wonderful hosts.  The children all learnt so much and had heaps of questions.

The last two days of swimming for our group of 5 year olds are on Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday we need to leave earlier at 11.45 as our session is 12.00.  It has been great to see the children's progress - we had some children who were scared to put their head under and they are now floating!  Also thank you so much to the parents who have been helping with transport and dressing children.

This week the Life Education Bus is at school on Thursday and Friday and all classes will have two sessions in the bus.  We are learning about where our food comes from and healthy eating.

Next week, Week 8, we will be having a junior school Christmas Art activity rotation after play each day. This will involve Room's 1, 2, 3 and 7.

Week 9 is our Outdoor Education week and we have some exciting activities planned.  There will be more details coming next week.

Also the Speech Eisteddfods are in Week 9,  For this, the children need to prepare a short talk for the class about something they are interested in eg. a favourite pet, a sport, a favourite holiday place etc.

Have a great week,

Sue, Julie and Rosalie
