Gardening Help Needed
Wednesday, February 26 at 9:00
If anyone would be interested in helping us start clearing the land outside our Multi Function Room, please come along and lend a hand! It will be the start of phase two, developing our outdoor space into a great place for the children to play.

Carnival
February 28th, 9.00am
On Thursday, February 28th, we are going to celebrate German Carnival with the whole school! We are looking forward to having this event with students and parents from 9:00 a.m. - 10:40 a.m. starting in the Multi Purpose Room.

Students are encouraged to come to school dressed up on that day or they can change when they arrive at school. As there is no theme for the German Carnival, any costume is fine, but keep in mind that the students have to be able to follow their regular class schedules after 10:40 a.m. (Students need to change for P.E.!) Parents are highly encouraged to dress up, too!

The school day will begin as usual at 8:45 a.m. From 9:00 a.m., all students and parents will meet in the Multi-Purpose Room. There will be an introduction to the German Carnival followed by a dance. To round off the celebration there will be some games offered upstairs for Grades 1-6 and in Early Years for Pre-KG to Preschool. Parents are welcome to join their kids for these activities! At the end, the PTA will provide a traditional Carnival snack in the form of Berliner (donuts) before the students return to their classrooms to continue with the school day.

Assembly
February 27th 3.00pm, Multi Function Room
Grade 2 will be hosting a Drama Assembly, all welcome.

How to Talk About Mathematics
March 6th, 9.00am with Justin Rich
How does the way we talk about mathematics influence our thinking? How should we talk about mathematics in order to best encourage learners? How can you talk to your children at home about mathematics so they see the real-world value of study? Come along and lets discuss.

Class Exhibitions
We would like to introduce to you our class exhibitions. Each grade will take turns to showcase the work they have been doing in one of their units of inquiry. Please come along and enjoy our presentations, and see individual class blogs for more information.
