JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday
had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just
a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw
hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had
the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There
were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys
in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and
then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to
encourage even more families to join in the fun
LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the
fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the
eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair
inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time
Yours sincerely

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he
she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be
written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that
these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning
of the academic year The educators have encouraged their
classes to start revising work every day for homework and
in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the
exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms
as well as being given for homework so it is very important
for your child to make every effort to catch up on work
missed should heshe be absent

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday
had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just
a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw
hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had
the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There
were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys
in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and
then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to
encourage even more families to join in the fun
LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the
fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he
she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be
written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that
these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning
of the academic year The educators have encouraged their
classes to start revising work every day for homework and
in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the
exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms
as well as being given for homework so it is very important
for your child to make every effort to catch up on work
missed should heshe be absent

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday
had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just
a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw
hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had
the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There
were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys
in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and
then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to
encourage even more families to join in the fun
LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the
fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the
eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair
inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time
Yours sincerely

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he
she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be
written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that
these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning
of the academic year The educators have encouraged their
classes to start revising work every day for homework and
in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the
exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms
as well as being given for homework so it is very important
for your child to make every effort to catch up on work
missed should heshe be absent

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he
she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be
written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that
these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning
of the academic year The educators have encouraged their
classes to start revising work every day for homework and
in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the
exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms
as well as being given for homework so it is very important
for your child to make every effort to catch up on work
missed should heshe be absent
My quote for the week is a delightful Swedish proverb that
says ldquoFear less hope more Eat less chew more Whine less
breathe more Talk less say more Love more and all good
things will be yoursrdquo

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday
had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just
a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw
hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had
the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There
were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys
in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and
then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to
encourage even more families to join in the fun
LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the
fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the
eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair
inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time
Yours sincerely

JP SATURDAY MORNING SPORT The learners who came to early morning sport last Saturday
had so much fun in spite of the cooler weather To name just
a few of the activities the girls had to aim for and throw
hoops over poles collect balls of different colours and play Tag rugby which is a skill without contact Mr Boucher had
the boys doing many exciting skills using a rugby ball There
were many enthusiastic dads who each had a team of boys
in their care They had to pass the ball roll with the ball and
then kick it The hour passes very quickly and I would like to
encourage even more families to join in the fun
LEARNERSrsquo HAIR CUTS The girls must tie up their hair if it reaches the collar If the
fringe is long it may be clipped back so that it is not in the
eyes while the child is working There will be a general hair
inspection next week so please ensure that your son has ahair cut before that time
Yours sincerely

your child please return them to school immediately so they can be returned to the rightful owner Many articles of

If you have not already done so parents I urge you to workout an exam preparation time table for your child so that he
she will be thoroughly prepared for the exams which will be
written in about 2frac12 weeksrsquo time The learners are aware that
these exams will cover all work learnt since the beginning
of the academic year The educators have encouraged their
classes to start revising work every day for homework and
in doing so they will feel adequately equipped to write the
exams Revision work is also taking place in the classrooms
as well as being given for homework so it is very important
for your child to make every effort to catch up on work
missed should heshe be absent
My quote for the week is a delightful Swedish proverb that
says ldquoFear less hope more Eat less chew more Whine less
