Celebration of Oral Language

The four finalists from each class will present their speeches at 9.15 am in the hall.  Everyone is most welcome to attend.

Footwear

As we get more into the winter months and the grounds are getting muddier, we are asking the children to bring another pair of shoes which they can wear on the grass to save their school shoes.  The school shoes can then be worn inside or they can bring a pair of slippers to wear inside if their school shoes get muddy.
