Week 4 Reminders/Notices
Swimming this week
- please bring a swimming bag/plastic bag.
Parent Interviews
- Thank You to the many parents who came to interviews last week. It was really nice to meet you and to learn a little more about your gorgeous kids. If you have not seen us yet PLEASE email/phone/talk to us about booking some time.
Golden Time
- This week we are planting seeds. Can you please bring a small pot (about the size of a big yogurt pot). We will supply everything else.
Gala Day
- our big fundraiser is fast approaching. We have already had lots of donations Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. The proceeds of this Gala will help us to build a much bigger and more exciting playground for our junior children. There are some amazing prizes (cameras, water skis, samsung tablet...) so come along and try your luck.
Independence
- we work very hard to promote independence. You can help by: clearly naming anything that comes to school and ensuring your child knows that they are responsible for their own belongings at home and at school. We give good advice and guidelines for looking after property BUT we can not keep track of 25 jerseys, togs, towels...
Toys
- on very rare occasions we allow children to bring toys to school for Golden Time. Toys at school tend to cause disruption and disputes. Unless you hear from us, please, leave the toys at home.
Health
- children need plenty of water to stay healthy and ready to learn. Juice/milk drinks are fine but water is by far the best option. Hint: freeze 1/3 bottle of water overnight and fill the rest of the bottle in the morning. It keeps the water nice and cool but they don't have to wait for it to defrost before they have a drink.
- nits are a common issue in hot summer months. Please check your child's hair regularly. If nits are found, treatment is essential before your child comes back to school. Click here for info
