A friendly reminder we are having an Olympics Games Activity on Friday 9th of August from11.45am - 12.30pm. Parents are invited to come to the classroom and participate in some Olympic Games the students have created. We look forward to seeing you during this time and having you enjoy the Olympic spirit.
