Welcome Back Everyone!

We trust you and your child have had an enjoyable break! 

We can see your child is ready and rearing to go for another great term of learning!

This term we have swimming in the even weeks, we will swim at 2:30-2:50pm.

This term our Concept is SYMBOLISM and how we see and interact with different symbols in our daily lives.

In Literacy we will be covering different genre to expose the class to a variety of ways to respond to many different language experiences we have organized for the class.

In Maths we continue to focus on numeracy and we will also be looking at TRANSFORMATION.

RE-October is the month of the rosary so we will be talking to the class about the history and importance of the rosary. We will practice reciting some of the rosary also.

Please remember to send back the READING LOGS....Room 8 did a fantastic effort last term!

Lets do that again...Thank You.

God Bless

Bernie and Heather

Have a wonderful holiday with your children- I hope the weather is kind to us all, and  the children manage to get outside for some of the time.

 Please remember to fill in the Reading Log every day- we want all the Reading Logs returned in the first week back after the holidays, we will have a treat again if all the Logs are returned....

Thank you for all the work you have done with your children this term, supporting the work we do in the classroom.

The children may wear summer uniform after the holiday, but if the weather is still a little inclement, they may wear their winter uniform, but not a combination of both.

Golden Time

• Don't forget that our Golden Time on Friday is a shared lunch, we will be having it at the normal eating time of 1.30, please send healthy food.

• We will be sending home the Reading Logs tomorrow, please fill them in over the holidays and get them back to school in the first week of next term, so all the children are in the draw to win a prize.

Golden Time Week 10

Room 8 has voted to have a Teddy Bear's picnic for Golden time this Friday, we will have it at lunchtime, and then we are going outside to play games.
Please send food that is suitable for the children's lunch, e.g. sandwiches, fruit kebabs etc.

The Dunking of Mr Macmillan

On Friday after Assembly Mr Macmillan had his 'Dunking'- it was a really grand event, well worth seeing!!
