Dear Parents,

Mid-term
On Monday and Tuesday there will be no school as it is Mid-term break.

Spelling Bee
We will have our annual Spelling Bee on Friday. The word lists were handed out during the week. Please can you practice with your child at home? When its your child’s turn they will need to stand in front of the microphone, Mr Harpster will give them a word to spell and they will have to say the word, spell the word and then say it again. For example, Spelling, S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G, spelling. If they get it right they go to the next round, if they miss spell the word they are eliminated. We will continue until the winner is found. The Spelling Bee will be held in B1 from 11.00 - 11.30, I am sure that your child would appreciate your support!
