Dear
parents,
These
days will include games, water activities, teacher relay races, face painting,
and more! Parents are encouraged to come watch the students participate in
Field Day. You may even want to join in on the activities yourself! Hope to see
you there!
Happy holidays to you and Happy New Year. Wherever
you may be travelling this break, please travel safe and we look forward to
seeing you all on Wednesday 16 January 2019! We ended the year in high spirits
with our three elementary winter performances - bursting with energy from
music, song and dance. I know you would join with me giving a large round of
applause to our students, and also to Ms Sarah, Mr Finny, Mr Vasanth and Ms
Jane.
2019
will kick off with field days in the elementary school, learning celebrations
and family literacy mornings. We encourage you to check the community
calendar to be aware of these important events at school.
Reading
Over the Winter Break
Knowing that your child will be away from school
for almost three and half weeks, it is important that you encourage your child
to read over the winter break. Encouraging your child to do some reading over
the break is a vital way for them to keep up their literacy skills. If your
child is reluctant to read then please take some time to read with them. Here
is an article on the
importance of reading over the winter break as well as some ideas on
holiday-themed books and traveling with books.
