Reading Whizz

Congratulations J and Angela for getting to
125 nights of home reading...
you're champions!

In the book bags tonight...

• Today your children are bringing home the class term newsletter. Here's an online copy in case it doesn't make it home....

• Portfolios are also coming home today. Please spend time looking at this and discussing it with your child. You may like to talk to them about things they are particularly proud of, and the things they would like to achieve by the end of the term. When you have looked at it can you please sign/comment in the box at the bottom of the Term 3 Contents page and return it to school. I hope you enjoy looking at all their hard work.
• An Activity fee notice is also coming home. Please pay to the office as soon as possible.

EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE

Exciting news everyone - our class blog was entered into a competition run by Interface Magazine, and I have just received an email announcing our blog is one of the 5 finalists!

"They're an impressive looking bunch. My thanks to the judges for their sterling efforts in selecting the two shortlists. There were some tough decisions and a few close calls that had to be made. These were the entries that made the cut.
