Today I have put up a timetable for Parent Interviews to start next week. Please write your name in a time slot that suits you and come and speak to me if you are unable to find one that does. It is really important that everyone makes time to come in and talk about their child’s progress in all the Key Learning Areas. As usual, we will have written reports as the basis for these interviews. PIANO STUDENTS WILL NEED TO CHECK THE LIST ON THE DAY BEFORE THEIR LESSON to see if that time has been taken for an interview. I hope to have the interviews over in a reasonable time so that piano is not disrupted for too long.
REQUEST! We are going to participate as a school in the North Sydney Region RUBBISH FREE LUNCH CHALLENGE. We will need some adult helpers for this and it will involve some time spent at school during a couple of afternoons in August. PLEASE speak to me if you are able to help. It is a very worthwhile exercise which aims to reduce the amount of rubbish generated by school lunches each day!
We also have the 40 HOUR FAMINE in August. More on this next week.
In class at the moment, we are concentrating on writing descriptions and working on fractions, decimals and percentages. I hope that some of the descriptions will appear in these pages! We are also doing science experiments and beginning to plan our class play for this year. On Monday, we had the first PE session for the term and the choices available seemed more than adequate to satisfy the interests of all the children. The meditation session I led was a great success with about 14 children learning and practising two types of meditation, one based on breathing and one walking. the children will have another 2 sessions of this choice before changing to another activity.
I think that’s all for today! Have a great week.
Love, Wendy
