We've arrived at Week 5, which is of course is Junior Camp on Thursday evening and Friday.
If you have said you had a tent available, we would appreciate you bringing this to school on Thursday.
We have been busy sorting out where children will be sleeping, when we have finalised this list we will let everyone know.
So you are able to sort out your Friday, these are the parent helpers for the Day session.
We please ask, that you can sort out transport to each activity, as we do not have enough room on the bus for all parent helpers.

With regard to boat building - the children in Room 4 have designed a boat on paper and have thought about the materials so they can build it. Some children have brought in materials already, tomorrow (Monday) I will send home their plan so you can discuss with your child what they might need to make it.
I wonder whose boat will float and which will sink?!
Other things that are on this week:
Ash Wednesday, Room 5 and 6 will be co-ordinating Mass this week which marks the start of Lent. Lent is a time of Alms giving, and Reflection. We have all made some Lenten Promises which will be on display (from Tuesday) in the school office and some in the church foyer.
