Year 1s are going places!

What a great adventure we all had on our Melbourne excursion this week! It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience travelling on several of the modes of transport that we have been researching. Many of the students experienced travelling on new modes of transport for the very first time. A big thank you to all of the parent helpers who assisted us on this day – we could not have done it without you!

The Mother’s Day Stall is on next Thursday 8^th May. Each student is able to bring a maximum amount of $10 to purchase a small gift. The Prep – Year 2 Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea will take place next Friday 9^th May. Please meet your child at their classroom at 2:15pm. We will then proceed to the Sustainability Centre for afternoon tea. Then we will enjoy an afternoon stroll (weather permitting) around the property, so please wear appropriate footwear. If the weather is wet, we will have some shared reading time in your child’s classroom. The children are looking forward to sharing and enjoying this special time with their mums!

Thank you to all of those families who have donated recycled materials. We are still gratefully accepting donations, please give them to your child’s classroom teacher.

A reminder that each student requires a pair of gumboots at school. Please bring these in as soon as possible. It is compulsory for all students to wear their Winter uniform from Week 3 (Monday 5^th May). Please note that the correct uniform for girls is a white skivvy or a white long sleeve shirt with school tie. (Refer to page 5 of your child’s Record Book for correct Winter Uniform details.)

Over the next few weeks the Year 1s will be performing short presentations at Primary Assembly, to share what they have been learning. 1S is presenting in Week 3 on Tuesday 6^th May and 1M is presenting in Week 5 on Tuesday 20^th May. Please feel free to attend on the relevant date if you are available. The students are very excited about sharing their learning with others!

Show and Share for Week 3 will remain as a holiday focus. Students are invited to share another memorable experience from their holidays and may also bring in photos or an object to talk about if they would like to.

The Term 2 iPad apps have been added to the App List page on the blog. The free apps will be automatically pushed out to your child's iPad by the College App Management System. Please download the paid apps that we have requested.
