We plan to go to the Fulford Estuary on Wednesday morning if Cate McEwan can accompany us to do some science activities, otherwise we'll try to do it next week. We leave the school at 9:00 and you are welcome to join us. I will let you know if we are going Wednesday with a note in the Planner.
This week our student teacher, Daniel Squizzato, will be starting his teaching with the class. He will be starting with a unit on poetry and in science the study of the skeletal system. I know Daniel's excited to work with the students and I expect we'll have lots of fun over the next few weeks.
On Thursday students may dress in their Hallowe'en costume. We will have a costume parade with all the classes in the gym at 9:40 and we will perform the song "Thriller". Students can bring some snacks to share in the afternoon if they wish.
Please send supply money ($26.50) to school as soon as you can. There are still a few who have not sent it in yet.
