Baptism Photos/Memorabilia
Over the next couple of weeks we will be exploring the special Sacrament of Baptism. We are learning about how we become members of God’s family through this special Sacrament. The children are invited to bring in a special photo/item of clothing/gift that they may have received at their Baptism to place on the back investigation table and share with the class throughout next week. If you could bring it to class in an envelope or printed from home, we would be very appreciative so we can add it to our Baptism display.
Photos of friends and other family members being Baptised are also welcome. If your child has not been Baptised, a photo of your child when they were young would be a wonderful addition to our display. It is important to note with the children that God loves all people equally, even if they are not Baptised.
Teddies
The children are invited to bring a small teddy/soft toy to on this NEXT FRIDAY (Week 5) to use during our Friendology session. We will be focusing on how we meet and greet our friends and role playing conversation starters with our teddies.
Parent Help
Thank you so much to those of you who have volunteered to support us in class on the parent help roster next week. It is really appreciated that you are taking time out of your busy schedules to join us in Year One. It is preferred that we have just one parent helper each day (Mon-Thu) to assist with group work and class preparations.
Observation Survey
Some standardised testing will begin next week (week 5) in Year One. The Observation Survey gives us valuable information about your child’s reading ability, writing vocabulary and phonics knowledge.
It is completed one on one with the teacher and during this time there will be a relief teacher in Year One (next Wednesday and Thursday).
Long Weekend
Don't forget this coming weekend is an extra long one! Monday is our Labour Day public holiday. Yay!
Have a lovely week!
