Go4It

Yesterday we did Go4It and we played Pacman. I liked playing hockey in teams and in the rain. I learned to not swing like I do at golf.

Week 6 term 3

Please check your child as a good supply of blue pens and pencils. All students should also have a pair of headphones. I have given out all of my cheap airline ones and have no more left. Please organise for your child to have a pair.

We are focusing on being everyday leaders, this is just leading by example and doing the right things. Please have a chat at home about setting our own high standards in everything we do. I often see many students in our class being excellent everyday leaders, their families would be very proud.
Roll on Spring!
