Reminder:
Our school is a nut-free and egg-free zone. Please remember to send safe lunches to school with your children. This is to guarantee the health and safety of a number of children in the school who have severe food allergies.
Algebra Maths Project:
5th and 6th class are participating in the Algebra Project that is based on number theory. They are studying prime and composite numbers to enhance their ability to factorise numbers. They will then use their new knowledge to play a maths game that is played in an obstacle course. As part of this activity we will be sending a team of 10 children to a special jamboree day in which they will represent the school and compete against teams from other schools.

We are in the process of reviewing our school’s Code of Behaviour. The draft copy is on the school website. Please review and email any comments prior to 15th May2017. We hop to complete the review process this term.
