Langley

Dear Langley Families,

We have had a wonderful week with somewhat unusual weather.  The children were all fascinated with the wild, wild weather on Monday.

Rupert: ‘Ooo, rain, lots of rain!’
Lucy: ‘Too loud’
Owen: ‘Bang, bang’
Winnie: ‘Puddles yeah!!’

However, the weather cleared up over the week and we were all ready for our Harmony Day on Wednesday.  It was wonderful to celebrate this with the whole centre.  It was great to see a sea of orange among those on the day. We were able to show off our reflective painting from the story by Mem Fox ‘Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes’. We also sang the song using our fingers ‘Open shut them’.

A few remainders this week:

Grandies Day- Parent helpers needed

Grandies Day is fast approaching us and the organisers are looking for parent helpers to help on the day.  These parent helpers may do one of the following tasks, either help sell books at the books stall or set up and serve morning tea.  To make the day run smoothly we need helpers to assist in this community event.  Please notify a staff member either face to face or via email if you are available on April 4th from roughly 9-11am.
Please also approach a staff member if you have not already received a Grandies day invitation. 

Holiday Program- Have you booked in?

Our term is going in very fast and Easter holidays are fast approaching.  Please indicate on the yellow poster if you are thinking of needing holiday care.  We need to know in advance so we can staff the centre appropriately. A simple tick or cross near your child’s name will be enough.
Easter Holidays: April 14th -28th
*Reminder that Thursday 13th April will be the last day of Term.

Parent Teacher Interview
Parent Teacher interviews will be held between Week 10 and Week 11 of this Term. (3rd April – 13th April).
More information to come out soon.

Have a great & warm weekend everyone. It might be our last for the season.
