Hi Everyone,

Well done to the gorgeous children of Room 3 for their contribution to last week's school assembly.  I was so proud of the class for doing such a great job.  We even managed to not need the help of the seniors on hand and definitely showed that 6 and 7 years olds have many skills in preparation, presentation, and performance.  The singing was especially good and I know there were a few nerves floating around.  Please give your child a HIGH 5 for being a great team member and also for being brave in front of the school audience.

We all enjoyed the musical performance by Michael Mangan last week.  As my Olly put it, he was a religious rock star.  What a treat to have a good sing-a-long at school with a real muso.

As usual there will be reading and spelling coming home each night this week.  Last week some children may have had a repeat on their readers over a day or two.  The focus for our reading at the moment is to familiarise ourselves with the text of a story and to draw on personal experiences that may relate to the stories being read.  Doing this will help children to build on their reading comprehension skills.  Please encourage your child to talk to you about their book and maybe even ask them some questions about what they have read.

MATHS INFORMATION EVENING
Next Tuesday evening there will be an information evening for parents who want to know about the current teaching of Maths in schools.  We will have a guest speaker and there will be a chance for you to see some real live teaching of the Maths appropriate to your child's level.  Look out for more information about this in this week's school newsletter.

Swimming on Thursday - please remember your swimming gear.

Have a great week and remember to pop in and see me at anytime.  I love seeing the Mums and Dads of the children in Room 3.  We are so lucky to have such cool parents who like to know what is going on with their kids at school.

Take care,

Carolyn
