Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Wow it is unbelievable to think another term is over and after the holidays, Christmas will be looming!  We hope you have a safe and fun filled holidays. The children have all worked really hard this term.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the wonderful parents who have helped this term with our trip to the zoo and the sculpture project. Next term we have the annual Christmas lights and will be looking for parents willing to take on this project for room 11!

As part of our Inquiry unit and following on from our trip to the zoo, room 11 have decided to take on a very exciting project - we would like to give back to our school community. To do this we want to raise money to buy a bird house, which we will paint and place in the school grounds for all to enjoy.

We have come up with the idea of raising the money, by students offering to do chores over the holidays to earn some pocket money. The students might wash a car, help with sweeping, fold washing, do some weeding, or even helping out with meeting some animals needs at home by washing pets, cleaning enclosures, taking pets for a walk etc.  We are thinking that if every student can earn a gold coin donation, then we will have enough money to buy a bird house that we can all decorate. If we have any extra money earned, we will look at buying a couple of the bird houses and will decorate and have these positioned in various places around the school.

You will also receive a notice before the end of this week about Craig Smith, the Wonky Donkey man, coming to perform to our team towards the end of Week One!  We have a very exciting Term Four planned!

Have a safe and relaxing holiday break,

Kind regards

Jodie and Rachel
