Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back everybody,

I hope your children have all have a restful break and are ready for a productive term ahead.

We have a fun term planned with swimming, ukulele, netball and ice-skating!!

This week:

Swimming - Tuesdays and Thursdays for the first 5 weeks.
                    12.15pm -1.30pm.
                    As this is over our lunchtime, please ensure your child has a generous playlunch.              Children may wear their sports uniform on these days, for easy changing. A note came home today regarding payment for the bus which is $15 per child or $20 for those with 2 children. The swimming lessons are free.

Ukulele Lessons- All children will be having a half hour lesson with Baz Bemrose every Tuesday morning. Your child may bring their own ukulele on Tuesdays if they have one. 

Netball Lessons- We have a whole school netball tournament on Wednesday afternoon 15 May at the town netball courts. Room 6 will have 5 lessons over the next two weeks to learn these skills. Children may wear sports uniform on these days too. Our lessons are on 

Week 1-  Thursday and Friday. 
Week 2 - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.  
Week 3 - Tournament Wednesday 

There will be no Assembly this week either.

That's all for now,

Regards
