I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our class pre-service teacher Miss Rebecca Looper. Bec will be with us for four weeks and has already developed rapport with the children. It was a sad day yesterday with Finn leaving to move to NSW to live. We gave him a bit of a send off and hopefully we will find time to write to him when he is settled.

This term with Spelling, we are trialling something new. We are introducing Spelling booklets which will be given out each Monday. The children will keep them at home practising until Friday when they will need to return them to school for checking. The children's words will be tested on Friday. It would be a good idea for the children to keep the booklets in their Reading bag so they come back to school for the following week. If this is a cause for concern please contact me so we can chat about it.

See you at the parent fest,
Michelle Bird
