We welcome Whaea Sheena to our class, and hope you are able to drop in sometime soon to meet her.

Next week we are holding a special time for our Grandparents to visit our school and see what their grandchildren are learning and doing. Our children are very excited about this, and we look forward to seeing as many Grandparents as possible. Room 3 plans to do some baking on Friday morning, and to prepare some questions about how life was when you were at school. We hope Grandparents can stay to share lunch with us. Children are asked to bring something to share for lunch on Friday.

We are painting pictures of our Grandparents to show you, and we would like to make a photo display of our Grandparents, so please try to send a photo to school on Monday.

Later in the term we will be investigating our own growth and changes, so we would appreciate a baby photo of your child. Life Ed will be running a programme to support this, too.

andnbsp;

We appreciate your support with helping your child learn ABCs, and words, and listening to their reading.
