Wheelie Shoes/Uniform We have noticed a few children

wearing Wheelie Shoes to school.

These are not appropriate footwear

for school. They damage the carpets

and floors. Please do not allow

children to wear them to school.

Also please remember to make sure

students have the correct uniform on

or send a note. We will always see if

we can find students regulation

uniform they can borrow for the day if

need be.

COLD RAINY SEASON Please ensure children are sent to

school with warm jackets, sweatshirts

and shoes and socks on their feet. It is

far too cold in the mornings now for

them to be coming to school in just

their polo shirts and nothing on their

feet.

WILD WEATHER SHOW

Tuesday 14th June 2016 - $2.00 per student.

Richard Scholes is back with some of the most exciting experiments from Crazy Science & H2Whoa! plus new earth-shattering, lightning striking experiments that will change the way students see and feel

the weather. Students will be let loose in a science lab where discovering the mysteries of planet earth and the weather are a top

priority. The crazy scientist has devised some of the world’s wackiest experiments to explore the inner workings of the sun, cyclones, rain

and clouds. But he needs some clever assistants to help him uncover the answers# Students will be drawn into the world of crazy science

as they become part of the experiments and assist Richard as he brings the power of the weather into the classroom.

Wild Weather: The Crazy Scientist Strikes Back is a visual, messy, larger than life look at the way our wild world works.

Shopping Bags We have run out of shopping bags. Please send any spare to the office.

Thank you.

ABSENCES Have you ever thought about why we need to know if your

child/children are away or going to be late to school? What if you drop them off outside school, or they leave home to walk or bike and something happens and they don’t make it to school. It is extremely important that you make contact with us when your children are absent so we can stop looking for them! You can phone school 377 5297 phone our cell 027 711 9021,

text, email, use the school app or send a note with another student - Or have your cell phone turned on so when you

receive a call from school you can answer it. Thanks for your help in keeping your children safe!
