PHOTOLIFE
We are expecting the Photolife photos to arrive within the next two weeks and they will be distributed as soon as they arrive. There have been delays due to catch-up photos being taken and the holidays. Unfortunately this is out of our control.
CALENDARS
Your child will have brought home an order form today for calendars, cards and diaries displaying your children's wonderful artwork. These will make great Christmas pressies.
A huge thanks to all the teachers for inspiring our children to produce some wonderful work and for providing the time and effort in your busy teaching schedule to incorporate this activity.
