Salvation Army Class Collections
As part of our Social Service this term, each classroom will be collecting items for the Salvation Army. These
boxes will be presented at Carols Night later in the year. Non- perishable items such as tins of food, pasta, new
toys, books, children’s toys are being collected by each grade in the school. We thank you for supporting our
social service efforts this year and for making generous donations and these are greatly appreciated.
Special Words
Please continue to support your child as they learn their special words. We will continue to test the M100W
words on a regular basis and move onto a new set once they are able to recognise all words without
hesitation. Students are now working on their own personal lists. A copy of the words will be going home over
the holidays so that you can continue to revise them with your child.
