We currently have 164 children which is a lovely size. We are keen to know of children who may be coming over the next year or so as this helps with forward planning. It is particularly important for us to know of potential five year olds so we can consider our class sizes for 2018. Please let the office know of any upcoming enrolments and encourage people you might know to complete the enrolment form. It doesn’t commit them to our school but gives us a bit of an idea who might be coming. We are in the process of planning for term three’s focus, which is “Zero Waste”. We are exploring all the theme areas of the Enviroschools programme this year, which sit within the sustainability focus. They are: • Living Landscapes • Zero Waste • Healthy Water • Precious Energy • Ecological Buildings The key objectives of the topic next term will be for children to know and understand what waste is, where it comes from, and its impact on the environment, and to explore solutions for managing waste. Each class will take its own slant on this but will be working around these base understandings. Looking forward to seeing you all at next week’s reporting nights.
