Grade Three / Four

STUDENT TEACHERS 

We welcome student teachers Miss Lovell and Mr Artavilla form Latrobe University for weeks 5 and 6. Miss Lovell is working in 3/4SD and Mr Artavilla in 3/4DW.     

GRADE 4 CAMP IS FINALLY HAPPENING!! 

We are all very excited and can’t wait!  Last week students received a copy of the things to take to camp. Lunch for the first day will need to go in a separate bag (not cases), therefore students can bring a day backpack or school bag.   

Remember -   

IMPORTANT -  ANY MEDICATION SENT WITH STUDENTS ON CAMP, MUST HAVE A MEDICAL AUTHORITY FORM ATTACHED AND SIGNED BY A DOCTOR OR PHARMASIST.   The Medical forms can be collected from your child's teacher or the office. Medications need to be handed in before 9:00am on Thursday 20th.  

Remember 

• Be at school no later than 8:45 
• We catch a bus from school to the train station 
• Pack lunch for first day 
• No need to pack any food, all is supplied 
• IT IS GOING TO BE LOTS OF FUN! 

Teachers on Camp 

• Mrs Darmody (Thursday evening onwards) 
• Mr Walsh 
• Mr Russell 
• Mrs Webb 
• Mrs Dalton (Thursday) 

CLASS MEALS 

The return of the class meals was a great way to catch up with families and for you to enjoy a meal with your child at school.  I’m sure you would agree.........Mrs B’s sticky date pudding is always a winner!
