Welcome back!
Term 3 was very busy and, as you can see by the date of the last post, it was hard keeping up with everything! While I haven't done a lot of blogging here, the students and I have been "blogging away" on the Great Reads blog - writing book reviews and making comments on each others posts! The Great Reads blog is closed and can only be accessed by students through the Department's Kidspace Portal.
At the end of last term I announced the winners of the book week competition in the newsletter, but I wanted to congratulate the winners here on the blog too :-)
With so many great entries it was very hard deciding, so in the end Mrs Frederick put in the casting vote. Congratulations to:
- Collette (Year 6)
- Aaryan (Year 5)
- Cherin (Year 4)
- Damian (Year 3)
- Jacquelina (Year 2)
- Jennifer (Year 1)
- Omar (Kindy)
This term we are holding our annual book fair – so you can
get in early with Christmas presents – or maybe something for New Year! Really anytime is a good time to buy a book :-)!
We have several time slots for parents to buy without their
children if you want to make it a surprise:
- Monday morning 24th October - after the Hall Opening Assembly
- Monday after school until 4pm
- Tuesday 25th October, before school from 9am and after school until 4pm
- Wednesday morning 26th October, before school from 9am until 9:45am this will be the last chance :-)
Please note: Students are not to
come in by themselves before school as
they have a time to buy during the day – of course they can come with an adult!
Students will be able to buy books during class time.
- Years 3 - 6 Monday 24th October
- Kindy - Year 2 Tuesday 25th October
Finally, while at the book fair, if you would like to make a book donation to the school, it would be much appreciated :-)
Have a great term,
Happy reading!
Mrs Blake
