WELCOME BACK!!!

Hi everyone, it was wonderful to see you all again after our two week holiday break.  I hope you all had a fantastic holiday with your children and are all ready for another action packed term.

You will already know that on Thursday we have our school cross country.  You have all received an email with information about this event.  The weather isn't looking terribly great at this stage so please if it does go ahead, make sure your child has plenty of warm clothing to wear on top of their green shorts and house coloured top.  This is because they will be sitting down and waiting until they race at 11.15 so it's important that they are warm while they are waiting.  Just a reminder that we leave at 9.00 so could you please make sure that your child is at school in plenty of time.  Thank you!

Today in RE we focussed on how God is 3 persons in 1 (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).  To illustrate this, we did a Science experiment using milk, 3 different colours of food colouring and dishwashing liquid.  When we added the food colouring to the milk, the different colours remained separate.  But when we added the dishwashing liquid, they all mixed together - just like there are 3 persons in 1 God.







Later this afternoon we began our school-wide Music unit on 'Making Music'.  Today we looked at different instruments - their names and the sounds they make.  The children loved playing them all!


If you have any instruments at home that your child could bring to share or if you know anyone who might like to come in and play for us, we would love to see/meet them!  Our music unit goes for the first 5 weeks of the term and then we have another school-wide Art unit before a school celebration/presentation at the end of the term so the children can show you what they have been learning.  

See you in the morning   :)
