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.

Personal Reminer 23/2

I've been a bit slack with these, so I failed to put up a reminder for photo day. I hope everyone managed to find a uniform sans texta marks.

For today we have that term 1 permission notes need to be in by Friday, and for yr 1 & 2 parents, homework has started this week. If you want your kids to do homework and haven't sent the form back in yet (it's at the back of the homework policy bundle), this is your cue.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made Friday evening a lovely occasion at the PBC. I took a few photos, and as soon as I get a mo, I'll put them up here. So, are we up for another one in, say, a month?

Don't forget our new email subscription option - if you know someone for whom checking a blog is not convenient, let them know they can have the posts delivered straight to their inbox.

Book Club

The book club that was starting Thursday, then going to be moved to Wednesday, is now being postponed till a later date as I can’t do this Wednesday. Will post a date as soon as we can work one out that everyone can make. Robyn

Book Club

We have set a date for our first book club, next Thursday 25 Feb, at 7.30. This will be a chance for an informal chat about what we have read/are reading/would like to read, and to decide how to go on from here. There is no pressure to read anything, if you just like talking about books, that is just fine. It's at my house, everyone is welcome. Let me know if anyone needs the address. Robyn

Email alternative

At the request of one of our year 2 parents, and because I know she's not the only one, I have added an option to receive blog posts via email. If you enter your email address in the box over there on the right hand side, you will receive all of our posts directly to your inbox.

Please pass this extra detail on to anyone you know might rather get the blog this way.

Personal Reminder - 15/2

Don't forget that the parent information night is at 6:30 tonight. No kids.

Also, this Friday there's a group of families heading to Petersham Bowling Club for some quality kid-running-around time and dinner. Everyone's welcome! We'll probably get the 4pm-ish 413 bus. The bus runs every half hour until 9pm (and less frequently thereafter), so there's no dramas getting home.

Cake Day and P&C meeting

The first cake day of the year is upon us already. On Wednesday, the kids will have cakes for recess instead of the tasty, nutritional snacks we all dutifully provide every other day. Since we have yet to locate the cake fairies, it's still us that has to provide the cakes. If you can manage cupcakes, slices, biscuits, jellies or some such, please put your name on the list on the P&C noticeboard just to the right as you walk through the gate. On Wednesday, you can either bring them in before school or if you happen to be able to, you can help serve at 2pm at the back of the school.

Kids bring 20 cents to buy a cake. Well, actually, kids bring several 20 cent pieces and buy several cakes. This is not compulsory, not by a long shot, I'm just here to let you know the playground lowdown. :)

Then 7pm Wednesday night is the first P&C meeting of the year. There are positions up for grabs, but don't let that scare you. The P&C is a fairly small group and it's a great opportunity to know what's going on in the school, and to help influence what that is. With a third of parents leaving each year, the P&C needs new people all the time, so please join in.
