News and Reminders: 

Library books and borrowing: Each week or fortnight, we visit the library and encourage our students to borrow a book. At the moment, we have most students borrowing, which is great to see.  

Jumpers: Students need to come to school with jumpers and jackets. A friendly reminder to make sure they are named clearly with your child's name and class. 

Home Reading: We encourage all students to bring their reader bag back each week to change over their books. Please make sure you are recording when your children are reading each night.
