There are many very important things happening at the moment, among them Parent Interviews. Thank you to everyone who has signed up for a time already. Please speak to me if you have trouble finding a suitable time.
Thanks also to the people who worked on saving the trees from the encrouching tanbark at the weekend, and thanks also to those who came to our Laura Presentation night last night. It was good to revisit that wonderful experience and share photos and thoughts. There is certainly some enthusiasm for doing the trip again in 2011 when the next festival will be held. There is also interest in the idea of attending a dance festival in Moree in September, the first to be held in NSW since 1938! The details of this are in this Newsletter. Because this event is so soon, families who want to go should contact the organisers and make their own arrangements.
Several of the children have written about the new pets in our room. I hope you will read all about them.
Also, I have made the booking for Jervis Bay at the end of the year for the week commencing Monday 30th November. This is our week long end of year camp so please put it in your diaries!
With Parent Interviews most days, please make sure that children check the time for their piano lesson is not taken for an interview.
That’s all for today. Have a good week.
Love, Wendy
RATS!!
Wendy’s class now has rats in their class so you need to be quiet and do NOT put your fingers through the gaps or they will bite you and we will have to get rid of them. Only Wendy’s class can open the cage. Wash your hands before and after you hold the rats and also you have to ask Wendy and one of Wendy’s class has to get it out. Use two hands to hold them. Always keep the cage closed. Only hold one at a time. The rats’ names are Ellie and Sooty and you can play with them. By Lillie . picture to go near this please Tracey…!!
In our class we just got some pet rats and we have some class agreements. You can come in our classroom to have a look at the agreements if you want. The rats have personalities, like Ellie is known for being very adventurous, but quiet at the same time, she is brown with white near her tail, and Sooty is also known for being adventurous, and she also loves her food, she looks a lot like a dirty chimney sweep covered in soot, that’s probably why she is called Sooty.

Wendy’s class have now got pet rats! There is, Ellie, and Sooty. There are some agreements for the rats. First of all you have to be quiet. Rats are nocturnal and are not used to such loud noises. EspeciallyEllie.If you want to hold them, you have to ask Wendy first. You MUST WASH HANDS before AND after handling. ONLY Wendy’s class can take the rats out of there cage. ONLY hold one rat at a time. Hold the rats GENTLY and you must always hold them on you. Be sensible with them. If you are scared of holding them, it would be best NOT to hold them. Make sure you share rat time. ALWAYS keep rat cage closed! Use two hands to pick them up. Sit downwhile holding. That’s about it! Enjoy the rats! By Jody
