News of the Week
Dear Parents and Friends,
Welcome to Term 3’s Week 6 newsletter. This week we are having Book Week on Friday, Years 3-6 Athletics Field Events, District Basketball, and Storytime for next year’s foundation class.
Book Week Parade!
Next Friday on the 28th of August the whole school is celebrating Book Week. For the people that don’t know what Book Week is, it is when your child picks their favorite story and dresses up as their favorite character from the book. We will have a book parade at 8:45am where each class will get up on stage and each person tells us who they are dressed as. Little brother's and sisters, and parents are welcome to get dressed up as well!
Year 3 to Year 6 Athletics Field Events
Today we completed our field events for athletics carnival which consisted of shotput, discuss and long jump. Miss Richards will then be able to name our District Athletics team. It was so nice to see blue sky and sunshine. We all had a great time and everyone had fun!
