Sports Carnival
We had a fantastic time on Friday at the Junior School Sports Carnival! The weather was almost too kind as the sun rays beat down on us. The races were hot work and everyone did such a great job running, skipping and picking up balls! The girls enjoyed the varied tabloid activities under the shade of the trees. I was very proud of all the girls having a go and being the best they could be and showing wonderful sportsmanship. It was the first time we had the sports day on the field and I think it seemed more of an occasion and it was great to have lots of space. Here are some photos of the tabloid events.

Year 4 Market Day
Take this opportunity to encourage your daughters to help you with jobs around the house or garden this weekend to enable them to earn some pocket money. The Year 4 girls inquiry has been 'The Market Place'. They have been busy planning, making and advertising goods for their very own Market Place. You can see what will be on sale by viewing the advertisements in 'The Messenger'. I will take them to the hall to make their purchases!
