Leading up to the item it is important that all costumes are brought to school no later than Friday 16^th May. Costumes don’t need to be fancy or expensive, you may even be able to use what you have at home for a costume.

Premier's Reading Challenge
The reading challenge is on! From the 3rd March til 22nd August, students can be involved in the Premier's Reading Challenge. There are so many books to choose from. Many of the titles are available in the Library, others you may find on your bookshelf at home. Permission notes were sent home for those wishing to participate and participants should have received their log in details by now. If you are still wanting your child to participate, please ask for a permission note.

For those participating, we will read some books from the booklist in class. When we do, we will post this on the blog (in the homework tab) so you can add these to your child's reading log. Students in Year 2 need to read 30 books during this challenge.

For more information, check out the Premier's Reading Challenge
