Week 8

Welcome to week 8

We roll into December this week!

Room 14 had a fabulous start to swimming- I imagine that there were some very tired children last week. This week they have a week to recharge before we launch into our second week of swimming in week 9. We said goodbye to Quinn and his family- we wish them all the best for their travels home and new beginnings. Thank you all for remembering to pack your children's togs each day.

I enjoyed catching up with you all at parent interviews, I love sharing your children's wonderful progress. If you were unable to attend parent interviews, your child's report and class placement for 2016 has been posted out to you.

Please ensure that Library Books are returned to school tomorrow.

Our Week ahead
Monday: Library Day and Mrs Rentoul will be taking care of Room 14 while I am on leave. 
Tuesday: Mrs Voller and Junior Choir trip to Ilam Lifecare.
