Good evening Parents,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend enjoying the change of weather and the little sprinkle of rain we received! I know all the children and I were talking about all the 'rad' music that was coming from town on Saturday!
Just a few pieces of information for this week...
Ash Wednesday Prayer service
On Wednesday the 26th of February at 10 am, the school will be participating in an Ash Wednesday prayer service in the hall. You are most welcome to join us for this special start to the season of Lent.
Parent Roster
Due to the short week 5 (Monday public holiday) and swimming lessons in week 6, the Year One and Two team have decided to start parent roster in week 7. Parent roster will run Monday- Wednesday from 8.40-10.40am. I will pop a roster outside our door - we would love to have you in!
Please only put your name down once to allow other parents an opportunity to come in.
Gathering Time
Across the early childhood area, we have noticed that gathering time is getting rather loud and we have had a few complaints about the noise level from those children who can be quite sensitive to loud talking and noises. Please be aware that there is no new learning that happens during gathering time and it it simply a time for children to:
- Put their sip and crunch on the desk
- Drop off their reading file
- Put out their chair
- Complete a short activity/read a book
Both Mrs. Hughes and I are in the room to support the children, so if you would like to 'kiss and drop' you child at the door, you are more than welcome to do this as we want to promote independence and resilience. If you require to talk to me about something important, please send me an email in advance, as it can be difficult to chat in the mornings with 29 little darlings also requiring my time and assistance. As soon as the bell goes at 8.40am, the children know that we go out for fitness and we will be exiting out through the ECC door to elevate any congestion.
Homework
Homework is due this Friday the 28th of February. Could you please ensure your child brings their R.E.D reading file AND homework book for me to stamp. If you will not be here on Friday (very jealous of some sneaky camping trips), please pop them in early and I will look after them over the weekend.
Thank you for your on going support,
Miss Prowse
