A few announcements before I share our week:

  • Please remind your child to follow the rules at all times. The children have been a been chatty lately and this has caused us to stop and review the rules during lesson throughout the day.

    • 3) Respect others, respect yourself and respect your school
      • Keeping hands and feet to self

      • We usually review this time 2-3 times a lesson

      • Hand on rail when walking up and down the stairs
      • No running up or down the stairs
