Week 3 Term 2

Boy are we rocketing through the term or what! Sports uniforms again this week.

Monday: Caritas  Challenge "Rice Day".

•  Everyone brought a hard copy notice home about this last week, so just a reminder here. Hopefully everyone has found someone to sponsor them as we raise funds for the great work that Caritas does. We all need to bring a plastic bowl and spoon to eat our rice lunch. Children may bring their own morning tea. Thank you to those people who have offered the use of a rice cooker. 
• Netball - we have our final netball session at 11:45.

Tuesday: 

• Swimming 1pm

Wednesday: 

• Interhouse Netball Tournament pm at the netball courts - check the newsletter for further information.  

  

Thursday:

• Swimming 1pm
• Pink Shirt Day: Get out all that pink garb and wear it!! Please bring a gold coin. The day will be run by our Sticks and Stones Group, the funds raised will go the Mental Health and Sticks n Stones. Prize for best dressed. Get baking for the baking competition - prizes: pinkest, best tasting, best presentation.

Friday:

• Shared lunch at 12:30 to say thank you to Mrs Stratford - it was so good to see her back relieving last week. Please bring a small plate of something healthy to share.

Self Managing Challenge:

Those of us who have brought our homework books back to school on Friday will have a spelling sheet to complete. In our Spelling Alive programme we are learning skills that will help us to spell lots of words that we don't have in our fast bank of words we can spell. The purpose of the home sheet is to practise saying, listening and recording sounds in order. A strategy we can use flexibly once we have secured this. Homework books need to be at school each day in our reading folders please. This is part of the class programme.

Please check at home for homework, diaries and poetry books. Several children are excusing themselves by saying "Mum didn't put it in my bag!". This is the year to step back and support your child to have what they need in their bags each day. Even the presenter at our holiday course couldn't emphasise this skill enough.

Looking forward to another very busy week.
