From Evelyn’s desk: Wow, can you believe that the first month of 2011 is nearly over! We have all settled in, learnt our routines and it is great to see children and parents with a smile! Thank you for the wonderful attendance at our Parents’ Evening on 18 January. Everybody’s enthusiasm with regard to the PTA is much appreciated. The success of the school and your satisfaction as parents can only be achieved through participation. I urge you to share in all we do and provide constructive feedback where appropriate. Happy Birthday during February... Jessica and Keezi may your 2nd birthday be fun! Aunty Shelter enjoy your day. 3 is the age to be Aiden. May your 4th be filled with laughter Victor.
CLASS MOMS & DADS PLEASE REMEMBER: A special thanks to all our Moms and, especially to our Dad, who have volunteered to assist the teachers: Giggling Grasshoppers – Themba Clever Caterpillars - Julie Wriggly Worms - Kerry Brilliant Butterflies - Meg Sparkling Spiders - AJ Aftercare: - Michelle Busy Bees & Creative Crickets • Please mark allyour child’s items as well as his\her bag • Please remember daily communication books • Teachers are not allowed to move from their stations\playground duty and leave other children alone to assist a parent to look for belongings or for any other reason. We are teaching each child to pack away their belongings and assist them. Please aid us by allowing your child to walk in and out of their school and leave with a sense of ‘I can do it!’ • School day and routine starts at 8:30. Pleasedon’t be late as it is very disrupting for the children and the teachers. • 5. PLEASE SEND MARKED HATS AND SUNSCREEN – NO HAT NO PLAY! • Hats will stay at school. Happy Hands will wash them. Sunscreen will be used one at a time. DATES TO DI ARISE: PTA Meeting - 1 Feb ‘11 Sports Day - 12 Feb ‘11 HAPPY HANDS SPORTS DAY THANK YOU! This year has kicked off to an amazing start. The Happy Hands Wish List has not yet been circulated and already one of our wishes has been granted. ITEC donated a copy, scan and fax machine. I am so grateful and it is a huge blessing for the school. Thank you Teacher Kayleigh for being instrumental in us receiving the machine. The children, siblings and parents will have the chance to tackle the obstacle courses and there will be food, chips and drinks to buy. Come enjoy a day filled with fun! There is an opportunity for anyone who wants to set up a table (bring your own) and sell ‘goodies’. All you need to do is to pay a fee of R50 to Happy Hands. You are welcome to use this facility at any of our fund raisers. Details will follow after PTA Meeting with regards to the happenings of the day!
Please see next page for further comments on Extra Mural Activities
EXTRA MURAL ACTIVITES: • Please note the following • There are Ballet items from the 2nd hand shop that Arlene brings along. Ballet time slot could still change. • We are still waiting for confirmation of the Hip hop classes. Once received, they will be fitted in so that it does not overlap with any other Extra Mural. • All our Extra Murals we offer are of a high standard and I encourage you all to let your child participate in at least one. • Monkeynastix is offering a session for Grade 1’s and 2’s. These children will be introduced to golf, hockey, tennis and soccer. This will be an advanced session! • Toddlers age 1 – 2 – the “special activity” will be done during a morning and as soon as I have details I will put them in your daily communication books. We are very excited about this special extra mural. • All extra murals, with the exception of pottery, are privately run and are for the account of the parents. Costs are not included in the school fees. • Fees and enrolments are specified on each form and have nothing to do with Happy hands Exclusive Child Care.
