RAIN RAIN GO AWAY...
(As long as next week is fine our trip to Hannah's bay and the cross country I don't really mind!)

Well.... week 7.
Last week I sent home a notice about our trip to Hannah's Bay. We will travel by bus and there is a cost of $2:00 for this. We need some parent help so please send in the form if you can assist.

This week celebrates all our volunteers. So a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who help with trips, art, laminating resources, etc and in the wider community too! We are blessed to have such a great group of parent helpers at our school. Without such help we would struggle to do some of the things we do for our children.

 HOMEWORK:
Spelling words at the front of the learning journal-pleases read daily the highlighted words
Spelling words for this week in learning journal and new poem
Readers each night.

We welcome Emily to our class this week:-)

The children will be visited by an author this week on Thursday. We are very lucky.
 Mrs O'Leary and I have read the book twice to the class so I am sure Room 10 will have lots of questions for her! 
How exciting!


I will continue to update via the blog those special incidental moments of room 10 during the week.
