Homework Calendar:
The feedback so far after the first week of
the new Homework Calendar has been overwhelmingly positive. Sounds like this is
something we should continue into Term 2. Thanks to those who have indicated
which other homework sheets to continue for their child.
Sacramental Programme
Those wishing to enrol their Year 4 child
in the Sacramental Programme can do so now by ringing Father Pat (Phone
4488202). We will start the Programme early in Term 2, beginning with Reconciliation. This is
followed by Confirmation, for which the proposed date this year is Tuesday evening,
22nd September (during the last week of Term 3). The final sacrament
for the year is First Holy Communion in Term 4. If you have any questions about
the Sacramental Programme please don’t hesitate to contact Father Pat, Trina or
myself.
Guinea pigs
Obviously a full-day visit from the guinea
pigs to Room 4 has had quite a profound effect on the children. They keep
asking when they are coming back, and one student has even written a letter to
me asking if she can please HAVE the guinea pigs. It’s nice to know there will
be many willing babysitters if we need them looked after!
What a busy and productive term it’s been.
You can be very proud of your child. J
Regards, Markelle Ward
