Week 5 already! It’s hard to believe!
This week’s big event is Lane Cove Children’s Voices for Reconciliation in the Plaza tomorrow morning. A couple of our children will be making speeches about reconciliation issues and the rest of us will be teaching all the other schools a call and response chant… to get everyone doing something together. After the performances and speeches we are hosting the students and teachers from Alexandria Park School for a BBQ lunch back here at school. There will be sausages and bread rolls, fruit and cordial.
We had a wonderful day at Kinma last week and enjoyed a range of activities with the children and teachers there. It is great to see that both our schools are thriving!
Meanwhile back here at Currambena, our group is working on so many things just now! We are planning a workshop/simulation (or two) to demonstrate the issues of poverty in Third World countries; we are planning a Mini Fair on Friday 5th June to raise money for our sponsor child in Uganda; we are writing stories, completing work book pages, learning about electricity, 2D shapes and about other cultures, including aboriginal ones, and yesterday we had what could have been the longest Class Meeting agenda in history! We are very busy as usual!
Some requests this week… Olivia and I would love some help with driving to Ice Skating and Rock Climbing on the next two Mondays (1st and 8th of June). Please let us know if you can help. Please also remember to let the school know as early as possible in the morning if your child is going to be absent for the day. An email is also good. This is very important for all sorts of reasons. Please also make sure your children come to school with plenty of food… even when there is canteen or Friday’s walking up to the shops. They almost always get hungry before the food is in their hands! Many in the class do seem to be needing extra food at the moment… and extra sleep, too… maybe they are growing quickly or maybe it’s the cooler weather. And lastly, please have a go at retrieving some of the lost property around the school. There are two boxes full in the front foyer and we need someone to take it away, wash it and take it to St Vinnies please.
And thank you… to Peter’s mother, Margaret, for covering some books for our class…and to Kerrie who is doing a fantastic job of keeping the school library looking wonderful and welcoming!
Have a good week everyone. Love, Wendy
