Its hard to believe that we are nearly halfway
through the term already! I hope the first

hassle and children were able to chip away at
the homework tasks ok. If you have any
questions or queries, please dont hesitate to

Many of our Room 1 learners have entered
different events and for the rest, there will be
some fun relay races. Permission slips and
money can be brought in to class before
Thursday. We hope to see you there!
It was great to catch up with so many of you

kids really enjoyed it.
Have a great week everyone!
