Week 1 - Yippee!

 

Week 1 is almost here.  Are you excited?  Only one more sleep to go…..

Just a couple of reminders:

·       On Monday morning, go to the office and Mr Macmillan will bring you over to our class.  (The office opens at 8:30 every morning).

·       Please ensure that all clothing is named – especially sunhats.  These are compulsory in terms 1 and 4.  It is very easy for hats to get muddled up.  Putting your child’s name in vivid on the inside brim works well.  New sandals can be tricky to do up.  Having a practise at home with the buckles is always a great idea.

·       Swimming will begin in week 2.  We are very fortunate that we have a lovely heated pool where the water temperature is 30 degrees.

 

Rosary – Wednesday morning  October is the month of the Rosary - it is to honour Mary. Each Wednesday morning we will be starting our day by saying a decade of the Rosary as a school. Senior school will start us off this week with the Rosary.   What is a Rosary you may wonder...and what is the meaning of the rosary beads? The meaning of the Rosary is simply a Catholic prayer based upon the Bible that focuses on the events in the life of Jesus and that of Mary the Mother of Jesus. The Rosary Beads are designed so we pray certain prayers at a particular pace.

Working Bee – On Saturday, 28th October we are having a Working Bee at school. The day starts at 8.00am and children are invited to come too. Morning tea and a BBQ lunch will be provided. This is a great way to meet other parents.

See you all tomorrow

Mrs Groves
