We hope you all had a wonderful week. The students have been working extremely hard in the classroom and have some exciting events coming up. Please enjoy reading about the activities the students have been involved in over the last 2 weeks and the important dates to be aware of for the next month.
Book Week
Monday 21st August is The Book Week Parade. The theme this year is Read, Grow, Inspire. All students are encouraged to dress up a character from a book of their choice. Be as creative as you like with this!
Michael Wagner Author Visit
On Tuesday 29th August, we have Michael Wagner, the well-known author, coming out to speak to our students. Michael has over 80-plus titles including a 20-book series about the funny and exciting sporting adventures of Maxx Rumble, six books about a family called The Undys, a heart-warming first reader called Pig Dude: He Can Do ANYTHING! and the acclaimed picture books Why I Love Footy and Bear Make Den. We look forward to hearing him speak!
Science Expo
Science week concludes at Vermont Primary with our whole school Science Expo on Friday 8th September.
Parents and carers are invited to come and experience each year level’s exploration of science and associated displays. The Expo will be open for families to view from 3pm until 5pm in the school stadium. A sausage sizzle will be available. We look forward to seeing you then!
Family Maths Night
VPS are holding their highly successful Family Maths Night on Thursday 31st August at 6:30pm. Parents have the chance to book a session and see different mathematical concepts being shown throughout each grade. More information to follow.
Lollies
We have noticed that some students are bringing lollies to school and then sharing them with other students. All students should know that lollies are not to be brought to school and that food is not to be shared with other students due to some students with allergies.
