9 February 2009 Hello everyone! Welcome to 4SW and 4M and all the very best for 2009. The term is going very quickly- it is hard to believe it is Week 4 already. Your children have all settled in very well and are working hard and appear to be very interested and enthusiastic.
It was lovely to see so many of you at the Parent/Teacher meeting last week. Thank you for taking the time to meet Chris and myself and for coming up to the school to learn a little of what we are doing in class this term. Your children seem to be enjoying doing their homework online. Thank you for helping them set this up.

Please remind children to wear togs under their uniform as we go first thing in the morning. Our first Excursion is to the Cross Country training starts next week with the event held on Tuesday April 7. That’s about all for now. Thank you for helping keep in touch via our KIT books. Please keep using these for any concerns, issues and/or messages. We are enjoying getting to know your child and are looking forward to a very happy and productive year learning together. With best wishes Adrienne & Chris |
