Dress rehearsal

This Wednesday, 2nd December we will have our dress rehearsal for our dance concert.  Please ensure your child brings their costume to school on Wednesday.  we will get changed after lunch before we head to the hall for dance, so please ensure that all uniform and costumes are appropriately labeled. Remember, our costume is;

PLAIN WHITE T-SHIRT. If they have a white T-shirt with patterns, logos etc please turn inside out. Boys- if they only have a button up white shirt (short sleeves) then that is fine to wear.

All students please wear a CAP (any colour). Needs to fit snug on the head as they will be ‘rockin out!’ I will also have bobby pins to pin if needed.

Please wear LONG BLACK PANTS- leggings or tracksuit pants (need to be stretchy to dance in).

Please wear any coloured sneakers/runners. 


Homework

This week we have removed mental maths from the homework, but reading and spelling based on the focus sound that we are learning will continue. If you child has a reader, please encourage return it ASAP.

Library books

If your child has any library books at home, please encourage them to return these ASAP so they can be put back through the library system prior to the end of year.  We will continue to go to the library for book appreciation, but will not be borrowing.
