Favourite Family Recipe:

I only have two family recipes in so far. Please keep them coming. It is very important to the success of the Recipe Book that we have as many authentic recipes and photos and stories as possible.

Advent:

We have been decorating Mary pictures to add to the ‘Mary Garden’ pot plants that we will be making out at Mrs Beilby’s place on Friday. This brings together the two Term 4 strands of our RE curriculum beautifully: Communion of Saints, and Advent. I know our time in the garden on Friday will be a lovely reminder of all those near and dear to us, as we reflect on another year nearly over, and a new one soon to begin.

Bike Excursion this Friday:

I trust you all received the second notice (sent home mid-week) with all the details for this week’s Bike Excursion. Mini-golf (optional) is $5 per child which can be paid to me. Required gear includes a full packed lunch, water bottle, covered shoes for biking, sunhats, bike helmets, jacket, togs and towel. We expect to leave by 9.15 am and return by 2.40 pm. Let’s pray for a ‘just-right’ day.

Happy ‘Second week’ of Advent.
