Week 1, Term 4

Welcome back to Term 4! 
We hope you all had a lovely break and are ready to start this busy term. 

This week in the afternoons, we will be continuing to practise for the production.  We will run our normal programme in the mornings. On Friday, the whole school will be walking down to the Town Hall to practise Aladdin. On this day (Friday, 19th) we ask all children are picked up from the Town hall at 3.00pm. If your child catches the bus, they will be brought back to school in time to catch their bus. Thank You! 

On Thursday, St Gerard's is participating in the nationwide 'Shake Out Drill', this is to practise what to do during an earthquake. 
These are the main points we will be going over before are:
  • DROP down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to.
  • COVER your head and neck (or your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you).
  • HOLD on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
  • If there is no shelter nearby, or you are outside, DROP down on your hands and knees and COVER your head and neck with your arms and hands, and HOLD on.

Hope you all have a wonderful week.
