THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

ねむいです(pronounced ‘nemui des’) which means ‘sleepy’ is the Japanese Word of the Fortnight for Week 4 & 5 of Term 4. At times you can’t help feeling a bit sleepy, possibly due to inadequate sleep. It’s a handy word to remember!

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.

ROAD SAFETY VIDEO

As we approach the end of the school year, the roads, parking areas and school crossings surrounding your school are very busy.

Glen Eira Council has created a short animated video to be passed on to school parents and community. It is a fabulous 2-1/2 minute video that explains parking signs and how the school crossing operates, and aims to promote safety surrounding our school. It encourages students to walk or ride to school, too, even if only from a few blocks away, in order to help ease traffic congestion, improve healthy activity and to help the environment.

We welcome any questions or feedback.

Lost property is located in the gym near the STEM room.

This is not for children to just take any jumper / hat that may be in the lost property.
