Welcome to week 6. We are over the halfway mark for Term 1. I am really impressed with the way Room 2 are getting on with each other. They are an amazing bunch of learners.

It has been a trying time with sickness and Covid, and I want to thank all our families for the way they are coping with keeping sick kids at home. It can't be easy juggling work and child care. Just a reminder, if your child tests positive, please let the school know (even if they have already been isolating or away from school). You can ring Dave Macmillan, Anne Cato, or the school office.

ourselves and others.

RE -

Caritas - The theme for Lent 2022 is 'Building Dreams Together: Called to be Peacemakers'. There is always hope of transforming our world for the better when we are guided by peace, love, and justice. We will use the 'See Judge, Act' process about a Social Justice situation over the following few weeks. The unrest in Ukraine has been a talking point last week.
