Highlights of our Learning

Valentine’s Day

We will be celebrating Valentine’s in school on February 14. Sending items, cards/treats to school is not an expectation. However, if this is something you and your child wish to do, please consider the following guidelines as you make your plans.

CARDS

If you wish to share Valentine’s cards with friends, please ensure that you include one for each member of our class (there are 22 in K and 21 in KA ). Ideally, cards will not be addressed to specific people. Please leave the ‘to’ field blank and simply write ‘from___’. This will make delivery in the classroom easier for the students (and their teachers).

TREATS

Treats should be small and packaged with ingredients visible. Please do not send any nut products or homemade goodies.

VALENTINE’S ‘MAIL’ BOX

Please send a paper-covered box to school on or before Monday, February 6th (approximately cereal box size). We will be decorating these and using them as ‘mail' boxes’ to collect our Valentine’s cards/treats in the classroom.

DRESS-DOWN DAY

Students may wear Valentine’s coloured play clothes to school on February 14th. No uniform required.

Community Workers

As part of our Social Studies Unit this term, we will be looking at some workers in our Community. If you are a doctor, nurse, firefighter, police officer or dentist, and would like to do a short presentation on your job, please contact your child’s teacher with dates and times in February you are available.
