Hi Everyone,
Well we are busy busy busy with concert practices. It is coming along wonderfully and the kids are absolutely fantastic. Many of the children have organised their costumes and have things at home that they will be using. Please could you check with your child about what they will need so that all is ready to go. We will also be having a whole school rehearsal this Friday after school meeting so if costumes are ready, please send all to school and I will set up a costumes box. We will also be doing a dress rehearsal next Thursday (12th) down at Tambourine Bay and we will most probably spend lunch down there too so please send food that doesn’t need heating. On the the Friday night all children need to be at Tambourine Bay at 5:30 dressed and ready to go for a 6pm sharp start. Please bring your own picnics, rugs/chairs and maybe a camp light or torch. Lastly, a reminder that all children who are not on stage or who have finished performing are the responsibility of the parents. This also includes younger siblings who desperately want to get up on stage with their brothers and sisters. The children have worked very hard on their own performances and really love to have all the limelight directly on their performances. This also means talking throughout performances as well, because we will be outdoors, we will need all the help we can get from the audience to get the children’s voices heard.
The 2010 Currambena Calenders are ready for sale so please head to the office if you want one (or ten- they are great for presents and offices). The cost is $18 for one and $30 for two.
Sisse, our gorgeous Danish student teacher will be spending time in our classroom next week and then the last two weeks of term which means she will be coming to Mowbray Park with us.
I will be away next Monday (9th) afternoon on a course. Michael and Sisse will take the kids up to Lane Cove Pool with Wendy and her class. There will be no other sport option so please help your children remember to pack swimmers and goggles etc. The whole class has voted that we will go swimming for sport for this term. Sarah (from CASP and Fran and Jo’s class) will come up with us to the pool weeks 5,6 and 7 to teach some swim skills with us to prepare us for canoeing and swimming at Mowbray Park. She is a qualified swim instructor.
That’s enough for this week I think. Have a good one!
From Olivia
