Personal Reminder - 19/9/14

I remembered recently how handy this blog had been when it was running, so I'm just gonna start putting up some reminders and any other stuff I think the general community of YP might find useful.

If you've just stumbled on the blog, please note that this is neither the school, nor the P&C, it's just for the social side of being, or having been a YP family.

This afternoon there will be an end of term BBQ in the park, which the weather is looking fab for, so it should be entirely pleasant. If any ex-YPers are still getting updates from this until-recently-defunct blog, and you're around this afternoon, stop in and say hi.

Personal Reminder 29/11/10

I'm sure no-one's forgotten presentation night tonight (although I'm probably the only one who forgot there were no acceptable shorts in the house!). Just in case the notes have gone astray, it's at the Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL and the kids need to be there by 6:45pm.

Also, the much anticipated Monkey Puzzle night is Wednesday night!

Monkey Puzzle night for

Yeo Park family and friends

6:30- 8:30pm

Wednesday 1^st of December

Come along for some child free shopping

whilst enjoying some wine tasting

& nibbles

10% off all purchases on the night.

This is a really good night - a chance to browse slowly, without kids and to compare ideas with other parents.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the PBC on Friday. It was a great night (if a little hectic at first!) again. 

Personal Reminder 24/11/10

I believe Linda Burney is scheduled to be at lines tomorrow morning.

The auctioning of the children's artwork will be Friday afternoon after school, along with some wine tasting.

After that, a bunch of folks are heading to the PBC to let the kids run off the week and to avoid cooking.

Presentation night is next Monday night at Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL.

Personal Reminder

The anti-racism posters/poems are due in tomorrow, and they'll be judged on Thursday by Linda Burney at assembly.

Also, don't forget the PBC on Friday afternoon, weather permitting. Currently BOM are forecasting a few showers, which could mean anything, really. The club opens at 5pm, and don't forget the 413 bus runs almost to the club's door, if you don't want to drive.

Personal Reminder 20/9/10

Don't forget that the open classroom is tomorrow morning straight after lines.

Also, stay tuned for details of the next outing to Petersham Bowling Club.

Personal Reminder 14/9/10

A note went home about The Wonky Donkey. If you want to buy a copy for your offspring and get it signed, you need to send said note and money back by Friday.

(That sounds rather stroppy, for no good reason. Call it a late case of Monday-itis. Seems like a pretty cool idea to me.)

Personal Reminder 12/9/10

Two weeks left! Special Lunch Day is this Friday. If you can help out, please let Robyn know. The kids will be having chicken legs, carrots and bread rolls, fruit (yet to be determined, depends on supply) and jelly.

Don't forget the Open Classroom session is the following Tuesday at 9:30am.

Personal Reminder 31/8/10

I'm writing this reminder as the butter and sugar cream for the brownies for tomorrow's sports carnival. Remember that the kids need to be wearing their polo shirt, and either school shorts or blue shorts. Blue hats are also an optional accessory.

Don't forget that Friday is the Fathers' Day breakfast, too.

Looks like spring is turning on a fab start for tomorrow, so bring a blanket and maybe a chair, have a cuppa and a cake and watch the kids run and jump and stuff.

Personal Reminder 23/8/10

Don't forget that Anna Fienberg is coming tomorrow! Send in any of her books if you'd like them signed, but please put a post-it note on the front with the child's name.

I hope you've all recovered from the gala day, and are enjoying the post-election nonsense.

Other things to keep on the radar are the re-scheduled athletics carnival next Wednesday (1st Sep) and the Fathers' Day breakfast Friday week.

Personal Reminder 10/8/10

In a bit of a newsflash - the sports carnival has been postponed (yes, you probably guessed that) until the 1st of September. Further, this makes it cake day tomorrow! Don't forget to send some cash with them, and if you can manage to rustle up some cakes, I'm sure they would be appreciated.

And then tomorrow night is the P&C meeting, which is also clashing (at least for some yr2 parents) with the Ashbury information evening.

Apparently it's all happening in August!

Personal Reminder 4/8/10

Don't forget the Education Week assembly tomorrow. It kicks off at 2:15pm and you need to be inside by 2:10pm. Audience needs to enter by the back door.

Also, kids are requested to wear tracksuit pants and polo shirt (with a skivvy underneath for warmth) to try to avoid too much navel action during the dancing.

Don't forget, the orders for tea towels and aprons need to be in by Friday.

Heads up for next week - the inter-school athletics carnival is next Wednesday. That night is also the P&C meeting.

There's heaps going on, you can always check stuff out on the calendar as well.

Personal Reminder 30/7/10

It's been a slow start to the term for me, and these updates have been haphazard for a while anyway. Nevertheless, I do remember the blog exists, and I'm having trouble remembering what's going on at school.

There's lots of it. Next Thursday is the Education week assembly at an earlier than usual kick off time. You want to be arriving about 2pm.

The P&C are doing tea towels again this year, and adding aprons to the mix. You should have a note about that, so if not, go digging through the bag. (And I sincerely hope you don't find what I found in my son's bag at the start of term!) These tea towels are fantastic if you haven't come across them before - great pressies and also just great tea towels. The aprons make a good addition too.

Unless you have been under a rock, you know that Julia called the election for the 21st August. Kath and Jodie are flat out organising and recruiting helpers for the gala day that will be making the most of the voting public. If you can, please lend a hand, take a stall or some such.

Personal Reminder 1/7/10

Today is the talent assembly at 2:20pm.

Also, the P&C are providing some snags on Friday afternoon to celebrate the end of term (yay!). The raffles will be drawn and the winner of the jelly bean guessing competition will be announced.

Personal Reminder 10/6/10

There's no assembly this afternoon, because the long awaited Wombat Stew show is on.

Also, having had a near miss with a child when trying to go around someone double parked recently - please don't double park out the front of the school. It really is dangerous. When there's 2 rows of cars it's impossible to see kids (and adults) stepping out from the curb, and almost impossible for them to see the cars.

Personal Reminder 17/5

The notes have gone home for Pizza & Pyjama Night, which is on Saturday, 29th May. This is THE social event of the year in 3-8yr demographic, so make sure you get your notes and money back pronto!

The information night for prospective parents is on Wednesday night, so if you know any parents considering Yeo Park for 2011, let them know.

Also, the idea of a P&C website was discussed at the meeting last week. Stay tuned for some links and examples of options in the next day or so as food for thought.

Personal reminder 29/3

Tomorrow morning is the open classroom session from after lines until 10:15am.

The anti-bullying posters are due in by Wednesday, and the prizes will be awarded at the assembly on Thursday.

There will be an Easter Egg hunt, kindly funded by the P&C, on Thursday as well.

It was great to see some families at the PBC on Friday evening. My kids are still talking about it and asking when the next time is. Since we are headed into the dark part of the year, I'm proposing a switch to Sunday afternoons. Maybe ANZAC Day would be a good one, with a day off after if you need some time to recover?

Personal reminder - 23/3

Thursday is the excursion to the museum. Don't forget to send a water bottle if your kid normally drinks from the bubblers, and it's recommended to use the library bag instead of the usual bag so it's lighter to carry. Also - don't forget there was a note about photos sent on behalf of the museum. If you are happy to sign the authority, don't be caught out by the fact that you need a witness to approve the signature.

Friday is Special Lunch Day, so it's just recess for your kids if they are happy to eat sausages in a roll. Much kudos to Robyn for organising it.

Also, Friday is when we are heading to the Petersham Bowling Club.

Personal reminder - 10/3

The Stewart House bags have been sent home, and they will be collected next Tuesday. So you have until Tuesday to clean out those unwanted clothes.

Personal Reminder 4/3 and P&C email

Tomorrow is the day that the Life Education van visits the school. There is a session for parents in the afternoon (around 2:50pm I think - check your newsletter to be sure if you are interested) which will finish in time for pick up.

Also, I have just processed all the emails for the P&C Yahoo mailing list. If you wish to be on the list but haven't received an invitation, either I didn't get your name from the two sources of names, I typed it wrong when I entered it, or you are one of the two people who's email addresses don't accept invitations for Yahoo groups. In any event, you can go to the web page for the group and join there.

Please remember also, that in order to vote at P&C meetings and to be covered by the P&C insurance policy, you must be a financial member. That will cost you the enormous sum of $1, so please see Isabelle or Cathy or anyone else in the P&C if you haven't already done it.

Personal Reminder 24/2

Tomorrow is the first assembly of the year - with a whole bunch of new rules for parents. Parents have to wait outside until after the kids go in, and then be let in in one go. Don't be late or you'll have to sit on the naughty chair! Recess finishes at 2:20pm, so you probably need to be there a bit before that to ensure you don't miss out.

Also, don't forget those term 1 notes - they need to be in on Friday.

Cheer up, it's hump day - tomorrow there'll be only one more day before the weekend! :)

Happy Wednesday.
