Welcome Back!

Welcome to term 1 2014!
The children have come back with big smiles and great summer adventure stories.  A big thanks to everyone who helped get the school ready for the start of year.  The field looks great with an increasing tinge of green.  Staff are off to a great start, getting things under way with class routines and learning programmes.

Next week we will begin swimming in the afternoons.  Please ensure your child has named togs and a towel at school everyday.  We will try to swim everyday, even if there is a light drizzle.

We will be looking for some parent helpers to supervise the pool at lunch time as well.  If you can help us out please let us know.

Please also ensure your child has a sunhat at school everyday in term 1. 

More details will be in the newsletter on Tuesday.

Getting bored of the holidays?

It hardly seems likely that anyone can get bored of summer holidays... but as they draw to an end I am sure that there are some people (parents especially) who are keen for the term to start.
I came across this math activity on a neat blog called bedtime math - it seems a great creation for a wet summers day!

- Enjoy the last of the holidays and we'll see you on the 30th!
