Week 10

Hi All, 

Monday we will be visiting Alexandra library, please remember books to return and your library card.

Monday and Tuesday, we will be listening to everyone share their poem. Thanks to those who have already performed, we have been very impressed so far! 
Eisteddfod assembly will be on Thursday - 1.30pm 

Tuesday and Thursday we have ice skating, please remember warm clothes - jacket, socks, gloves and helmet. A change of clothes is a good idea just incase you get wet! 

On Wednesday, we are on Mass.  All are welcome. Those children who are altar servers will be presented with a cross to wear on their uniform that Fr Vaughan will bless. 
Also on Wednesday at 2.30pm we have Brett Fairweather coming to school to do a Jump Jam session, which will be loads of fun!
