Week 3

Week 3- Short week but with lots to do! I hope everyone had a terrific long weekend and has come back refreshed and ready to get stuck in.
The school pool officially opens this week and although we may not go swimming this week, I would still like the kids to start bringing their togs. Please make sure that all togs, bags, goggles and towels are clearly named, as well as uniforms (as they are easy to swap when getting dressed again afterwards).
We have started doing Discovery on Friday mornings with Rooms 1, 2 and 6 and this is proving to be a big hit. If anyone at home has small boxes, or anything that could be used in construction, please send these things in with your child.
We are full swing into preparations for the Super Family Fun Day (Friday, November 8th). The kids will be bringing home a notice very soon to let you know all about it.
In Maths we are still looking at takeaways, and how we can figure them out. The kids are getting really good at drawing squares, lines and dots to help them find the answers.

It is great to see that all the children have sunhats, but just be aware that your children have grown and their hats may start to get a bit tight! Also, because the children have grown through the year, now is a good time to make sure that they haven't outgrown their lunch. I have started to have a few comments about being hungry, even though they have eaten everything.

I will try to get some photos up here of some of the things we've been up to.
