Four and half things for this week!
Dear Families,
Four and a half big things for you to know and act on this week:
1. Our Annual Queens Beach Fete is this Saturday and we need volunteers. Our class is running the Cent Sale and Mother’s / Chill Out Room. Please fill in the fete note being sent home today and return it before Friday. Cent Sale requires selling of tickets and Mother’s / Chill Out Room requires you to just make sure there are enough items such as tissues, paper towel, bin isn’t overflowing and of course having a little time to chill out there too.
2. I will be running a Homework Club for the rest of term beginning this week. Every Thursday after school until 3:30pm. So you can have your child stay and do their homework with me, then collect them at 3:30pm. Siblings are welcome as well and I can of course help them with their homework if you wish.
3. Family / Teacher catch up. Our school has Parent / Teacher meetings at the end of Term 3 however, if you have time for a catch up (face to face or phone) to talk about your child’s Semester 1 Report Card and our goals for them this Term, please call the school and book a time that suits you.
4. And a ½ Thank you for responding so positively to the 100 items challenge! Your belongings will be returned this week, if they haven’t already. Also we are still looking for volunteers in the classroom. Main times we require help are Tuesday afternoons with Computer Lab and Friday middle sessions with English groups. Babies and toddlers are welcome. Thank you to our awesome volunteer on Wednesday’s who is reading with your child each week.
Thank you,
Miss Richards
