Week 7, Term 2

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the warmer weather.  Looking forward to hearing all about the disco from those children who attended last Friday evening.

What's Coming Up?
Skating starts this Tuesday 13th.  Room 1, 2 and 7's lesson is from 11.00-12.00pm.  The bus leaves school at 10.40am and returns to school at 12.10.  The cost of ice-skating for each child is $45,  which includes 5 sessions and the bus. This can be paid to the office please.  Full skating information will be in this week's newsletter. A reminder that children need to wear warm clothing, with gloves being a safety requirement for being on the ice, along with helmets which are a compulsory item. (Bike helmets are ideal for skating). Children need to wear some sort of waterproof pants.  Also the people at the rink ask that children do not wear two pairs of socks as it can affect the skate size. It would be great if any parents that are free would meet us at the rink to help with putting skates on and off.  Could you please write your child's shoe size on their hand on Tuesday morning before school as this makes it much easier to get the correct size skates quickly.

The Poetry Eisteddfod will be held in the last week of term.  Children need to prepare a short poem to recite to the class. (Room 1 may choose a nursery rhyme). The children all have poems in their poetry book that they could choose a poem from, or select a poem of their choice.  They can enhance this with actions if they wish.  We will be choosing two or three children to recite their poem at the Eisteddfod assembly.  Criteria will be: knowing your poem off by heart, using a clear voice, looking at the audience and using expression.

Have a good week,

Sue, Bridget and Kate
