Important Information

1.     Next week we are continuing with our colour unit.  We will be talking about secondary colours.  We are asking that you have your child wear the “colour of the day” if they have an item in that colour.  Please DO NOT go and purchase any new clothing for these activities.  Children that do not have the colour of the day will be given something to wear when they arrive.  Monday, January 28^th – PURPLE day.  Wednesday, January 30^th – GREEN day.  Friday, February 1^st – ORANGE day.  We are also asking for colour snack donations for each of these colour days (ie: purple grapes for purple day or green broccoli on green day).  It only needs to be enough for one class (20 students).  Please let us know if you would like to contribute. 

Thank you for your continued support!

2.     If your child participates in the Monday Gymnastics club, we ask that you encourage your child to wear comfortable, well fit pants (not too long or loose) and save tights and skirts for other days.  This will make using the equipment and doing rolls and jumps easier.  Thank you for your support.  We can’t wait to show off our new skills in March!

Have a fabulous weekend!
