Pip and Harold have taught us heaps about healthy food choices and we showed that we are able to design a really healthy menu for a day using "foods from the ground" and "foods from animals" only.
Ask your child to tell you about which foods come under these titles.
The Christmas Craft Week is here. Room 3 will be divided into 4 groups and will spend from after play till the end of the day in a different junior school room to make a range of Christmas crafts. Don't forget your plastic bottle for Room 3 and shoe box for Room 1 activities.
I met Maree and Martin Jenkinson at Wastebusters on Saturday morning - scavenging the recycled plastic bins. Thank you so much Casey and Reuben for washing these up and bringing a good sized supply of bottles to Room 3. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. In Room 3 we are making Christmas baskets from recycled bottles and christmas paper along with some tinsel etc.
Just a reminder that the bushes outside Rooms 3 & 4 have rather enormous thorns. While every attempt is made to pick all of these up after the bushes are pruned, one or two are often found in the grassed area. Please do not run around in bare feet.
Thank you to those people who have indicated that they can accompany us on our bike ride on Friday 9th. If you are unable to come for the whole day, you are more than welcome to come out and have lunch with us.
A reminder that Thursday is Mufti Day - an item for the Christmas Hamper Raffle. Raffle cards went home on Friday with the eldest in the family. Really good value $1 a ticket. Please support our hardworking PTA by selling your card. These people have worked amazingly hard to make sure your children get all the extras & small class numbers.
Homework
- Reading: please be sure to read every night - with Christmas crafts only a few people will have instructional reading.
- St Gerards Cookbook: this is the week to check out the favourite family recipes. A small group of people are putting together a recipe book with local recipes and photos - they have put lots of work into their idea and now is the time for all of us to help with the recipes. If your recipe has a story with it please include that as well. Recipes need to be typed or written onto paper, or emailed to me so that we can give at least 1 for each family to Maria Williams by the end of the week. Do you have a recipe that uses some of our fantastic local fruits.
- Eisteddfod Speeches: this is the week to think about working on your presentation so that you can give your audience eye contact. Speeches will be presented Monday and Tuesday next week.
