Reminders
Thank you everyone for another smooth Week 2 while Ben has been away.
There are a couple of class award sheets for the Presentation Day not returned on Friday. Please send to me first thing on Monday.
Please bring your History Syllabus to the PL session for Tuesday afternoon.
The timetable I left on the staffroom table for Nicole Ngapoula for Week 7 is missing. The Week 8 one is there and it's up on the board. If you know where it is , please return to me on Monday so I can let her know her schedule. If it is lost, we may need to redo quickly on Monday for her.
Helicopter Visit
Just a reminder that every class must be behind the fence in the Preschool playground no later than 9.45 am on Wednesday morning.
*The students should go to the toilet before coming down.
*Wear no hats but apply sunscreen. Perhaps remind the children the day before to wear some to school. Small particles could fly up in the downwind, so wear your glasses for protection. We will be clearing the playground as much as possible on Monday and Tuesday to avoid this as much as we can.
*Remind kids about the $2 gold coin donation
*K-2 should eat something between 9-9.30 as I don't think there will be much chance for a break until after the presentation in the hall.
*Lunch time duty may need to be adjusted on Wednesday as K-2 teachers will be in the hall between 11 and 12. If this involves your duty, please inform the other staff involved.
Remember only half the students will be outside, so only one teacher may only be needed and the supervised area reduced for the duty.
* I will be the contact person for the pilot on the day. If they get an urgent job or the weather turns bad, the visit will be postponed. Safety cones will be put around the helicopter as a safety barrier. As soon as the helicopter has come to a complete stop, the pilot will indicate to move closer to the helicopter.
At the end, all classes move back to the Preschool playground to watch it take off.
Have a wonderful week everyone and thank you again for your support.
