Week 3 Reminders

Raffle Books
Raffle books were sent our a couple of weeks ago.  They were due back last Friday.  I am still waiting for 4 books to come in.  These books MUST be returned whether the tickets are sold or not.  Please ensure your child brings their books back tomorrow.  I will be sending home reminders today.

Choir Permission Slip
The Choir will be performing at the Centenary Fete this weekend.  Students are only able to perform if their permission slips are returned.  Please return these ASAP.

Plants for the Fete
Year 3 classes have been asked to donate potted plants for the Fete plant stall.  Please send these in as soon as you can and we will care for them at school until the Fete.  So far none have been received.

Uniforms
A reminder that correct and complete uniform should be worn every day to school.  Students have been great with the correct shirt and shorts/skirts and we are now on track with correct shoes.  However, we are falling down in the socks department (no pun intended).  Students socks are to be only white.  Please ensure your child has and wears correct uniform each day.
     

Another Paul Swan game... Mary's Game

This week I introduced another game to the class.  Students had to line up behind two rows of numbers from 1 -12.  Then each team took turns to roll 2 dice.  The team had to decide whether to add, subtract, times or divide the numbers on the dice - then turn over the number card for the answer.  The winner is the team who turns all their cards over.  This is what we have been collecting the bread tags for.  We have made sets of numbered bread tags so students can play in pairs at their desks.  It gets pretty competitive and so far whoever stands behind the orange card wins!!  We will have to play more to see if this theory lasts!!

Welcome Back

Welcome to Term 4!  It was great to see almost everyone back at school today, healthy and ready to work.  Most students remembered their Holiday Homework and showed their item and talked about what they did on the holidays.  It seems everyone had a fabulous time!  We followed this with a great writing session.  Everyone was on task and writing beautifully.

EduDance
EduDance starts this Wednesday.  Please return permission slips and payment as soon as possible.
