Term 3 Week 10

Hello everyone,

Just a few notes about next week before it all gets too crazy.

Field Events Day:

• Only some boys are involved during this day
• It is a not a day for parents to come along to as it is not structured for spectators (some boys will be in the class and some boys will be on the oval)
• Those boys participating in a Field Event will need to wear their sports clothes for the day
• If your son is not participating in an event they will be required to wear their normal school clothes
• The day will progress as normal except that some boys will go out for certain events

Sports Day:

• Friday 21st September
• All boys to wear sports clothes - house top
• Boys can bring coloured hair spray - if they want to
• All year 3 boys have been given an opportunity to work out when their event is and they have been asked to write the event into their diaries
• The list of events on Sports day is displayed outside the Year 3 classrooms
• Boys are not to leave after their event but are encouraged to stay for the duration of the Day to encourage and support their house team
• Please remember that your son will need a hat, sunscreen and suitable food for the day. Yes lollies are lovely but the boys will require something substantial to keep their energy levels up for the races and novelty events
• If you are able, come along and watch your son compete
• Sports Day is a fun filled day with lots going on. The novelty events are the ones that really get everyone in the mood!

Regards
Nesha

Term 3 Week 9 ArtsPaces Photos

Term 3 Week 9

Hello there

Just a quick note re ArtsPaces

• all boys to wear jeans and a black shirt or Tshirt
• this will follow the Andy Warhol theme
• the boys will be 'creating' in the year 3 classrooms
• there will also be an 'Art Gallery' for you to view of the boys work
• Feel free to dress to suit the theme on the night - we are going for the New York art look

Requests:

• if you have a lava lamp that you could lend us for the night that would be great - once again it will add to the ambience on the night
• also if you have 'painter's overalls' that either Mike or I (or if you have two that would be even better) could use, may we borrow them for the night?
• Please email me if you can help in either way

When the program is released I will update you with the times.

Thanks and regards
Nesha

Term 3 Week 8

Hello everyone,

Just a few things to note:

No homework this week or next:

• Due to internal testing, Grandies Day and ArtsPaces there will not be any homework for the next two weeks
• Boys will still be required to complete spelling and mental but the work will be done in class
• Unless class time has not been used appropriately then some boys may be required to take their work home

Grandies Day:

• Each family should have received an invitation to Grandies Day
• The outline of the day is as follows:
• 10:45 -11:15 Morning Tea in Piper Pavillion
• 11:15 - 12:15 Classroom - short presentation in 3S classroom followed by looking at boys art work, a tour of the school, library etc

Show Day Friday 7th September:

• There will be no school this Friday
• Have a lovely long weekend

ArtsPaces:

• Wednesday 12th September Week 9
• More information regarding the night will be sent home as soon as a program is finalised
• Please let me know if your son will not be here on the night - as this is a compulsory event

Eye Testing:

• As you may be aware one of the boys in 3S has been diagnosed with having colour blindness
• This in itself is not a disadvantage but I just thought I would encourage you to have your son's eyes tested to determine if he requires support
• Signs of eye fatigue could include headaches, squinting, blurred vision
• Even if glasses are not required it may be a good exercise to have your child's eyes tested
• A behavioural optometrist would be an excellent person to get in contact with
• If you require names please let me know or simply go and to your local optometrist.

Thanks and regards
Nesha
