Hello families and friends,

Yesterday we had a presentation from Amin Dadani about the school that we sponsor with our Tanga Art Sale.  This is coming up on Thursday, February 25th.  Ask your child about this.  We are continuing to work on our literacy and numeracy skills in the morning.  Ask your child what they have been working on.  We have been finishing off our day working on our Syrian refugee inquiry work.  The students are working on putting together their good products!

This morning we all got out and enjoyed the beautiful weather for our Winter Walk day.  Then in the afternoon we had dance with Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Jones, then we did some work with them.  Ask your child what they worked on.

Next week we will be working with the artist in residence, Jenny Dale.  You can see some of her work at her website.  Next week is also Chinese New Year.  We will be celebrating with a performance of the Lion Dance.  Then on Wednesday, we will be celebrating Carnival in the afternoon.

Do you think Balzac Billy's prediction of an early spring will be right?  What signs do you see outside that make you think it will or won't?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
