2D Weekly Newsletter
Week ending October 8th
Celebrations of learning
We also had a writing celebration where they did a similar thing. The children are all excited to share their published books and compliment sheets with you, so I will be sending these home next week for you to read and enjoy with your child.
There is a lot of important announcements about upcoming events. Please mark your calendar as it is a busy time of year.
Have a lovely weekend.
