Dear Parents and Students,

Another week has flown by!  We were having lots of fun and the third graders are all doing very well. 

Next week is going to be a super fun week.  On Wednesday, October 31^st, is our annual Fancy Dress Day.  It is a very exciting event for all of us.  Well, my costume is ready to be worn.  I cannot wait!  Parents, you are very welcome to come and join us.  All the classes will be gathered on the basketball court at 9.20am to entertain everyone with our songs. 

Thank you to all parents for sending back the completed schedule for the Parent/Teacher Evenings, which will take place on November 6^th and 7^th.  A confirmation note went home with the date and time as preferred or agreed upon.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  I am looking forward meeting with you again. 

Next week, Thursday and Friday (November 1^st and 2^nd), is our Mid-semester Break.  Students, that means no school!  Because we have a short week next week, and with Fancy Dress Day, we will not be learning any new spelling words or write a spelling test.  We will, however, write a Science Test on Tuesday, October 30^th, on Chapters 4 and 5. 

On November 14^th we will have our HIS Fun Day.  That will be more excitement to look forward to.  More information on this event will be posted later.  So watch this space! J
