• bring morning tea, lunch and plenty to drink (Please note that there is NO sausage sizzle at swimming sports this year)

Home Learning

This has been renewed for the next two weeks. Home Learning is an extended link to learning in the classroom and will enhance what children are doing at school. I have changed the name from homework to Home Learning so that children see it as a positive extension to their learning - at home, or indeed wherever they are as they can access their learning online.

Cards for St John's Community

Room 3 have been writing letters for the St John's community and these will be delivered this week. I was very impressed by the heartfelt sadness the children expressed in their letters and I'm sure the St John's community will appreciate the children's messages.
