Easter is getting very close. Here is an amazing video that will help you to talk about the Easter story with your children. The artist is a very clever man who uses sand and a light box. Sooooo talented!

Good Grief - It's Week 8!
Swimming this week
There are a few timetable clashes with swimming this week - but we will swim as often as possible.
Monday: Life Education (last visit)
We love Life Education - we have been learning so much about friendship and what our brain needs to help us to be the best we can be.
Wednesday: Reading Night for Parents/Caregivers
Please let us know if you would like to join us for this fun and educational evening. We have lots of ideas to share to help you support your young readers.
Friday: Palm Sunday Procession at 10am
This is always great fun. The children usually wear 'Jesus clothes' for this procession. A dressing gown or Dad's old t-shirt tied with a belt is fine. You don't have to get out your sewing machine.
Golden Time
We are making the most of the long summer for Golden Time this week. We are going to have water play with the slippery slide. Don't forget your togs.

Thursday
Union meeting
School closes at 12:30 today so allow staff to attend a union meeting. Buses will be running as usual. If you are likely to have trouble collecting your child by 12:30 a written note, or email, will be required please.
Friday:
St Josephs Day Mass
St Joseph is a very special Saint - especially to us here at Saint Marys. It was the Sisters of Saint Joseph that started our school a long, long, long, long time ago. Sister Carina, our very own living Saint, is a Sister of Saint Joseph, too (no, she wasn't one of the sisters that started our school). Saint Josephs Day is a very special day for Sister Carina. Come and help her celebrate at our school Mass.
Junior Athletics Day
11-12:30 on the school field. We will run, jump and throw and have a heap of fun. You are most welcome to come and cheer on our athletes (beware - you may be given a job). Children will need their PE gear and a named bottle of water.
Golden Time
It's going to be a loooong day, so this week the Year 2 crew are having movies for Golden Time.
No swimming this week
Responsibility
-->
Our concept this term is 'community'. There are responsibilities that come with belonging to any community. Our school community has certain responsibilities too. We are responsible for working hard and listening in class. We are also responsible for looking after each other and our belongings. We have been a very disappointed at the state of our classroom resources, bag areas and bathrooms recently. Please encourage your child to put clothes and activities away tidily and put their rubbish in the bin. It would also be appreciated if you spoke to your children about bathroom hygiene. We would rather not go into details but, needless to say, our poor cleaning team are quite upset and are surprised at the lack of respect shown by some children. Thank you for your support.
