Grandparents Day is on Friday!

Each class is responsible for hosting a Shared Morning Tea that our Grandparents can come to after Mass. Please send a small plate with your child on Friday. Hopefully at some point in class this week we will brainstorm ideas of what we could bring, so we don't end up with lots of the same food item. Thank you for your cooperation with this :)

This week Year 6's have two puberty sessions. Two different teachers will take these sessions, and our year 5's will be split amongst the remaining 3 teachers to practise leadership skills in preparation for next year. These will be happening on Tuesday and Thursday.

Room 12 will also be beginning their next Student Volunteer Army Project. Congratulations to Alan and KJ who were nominated and voted in to be our Platoon Leaders! As a class, we have decided to make this an intergenerational project, where we will visit Lara Lodge in week 7 to bring joy to their residents. Over the next few weeks we will be planning ways we can do this and getting things prepared.
The date for this is Tuesday 27th November from 9-11.30 (appx). We will be needing parent helpers so if you are able to come, please send me an email or come in and see me to let me know.
