What you need:
bike & helmet - these will need to be at school the day before (1st Dec) so the Shaun can complete a “BIKE WOF”.
lunch and a big morning tea.
drink bottle
sunhat and suitable clothing/footwear
Would be great to get some parent help for this.

Room 1 students are visiting Golden Kids to build some fun toys.
Can parents please supply milk bottle lids and 750ml “pump style” bottles - smaller OK too.
We will need some cars to transport to and from Golden Kids. Please let Shaun know ASAP if you are able to help with this
CTS Pet Day
Postponement date. Wed 18 Nov 2020
Start Time 9.30am
As always, pets include anything that your child looks after and loves, so soft toys can come as well.
If your child wishes to bring a large animal or a dog they must be accompanied by an adult (one per animal) who is prepared to stay with them the whole time they are on school grounds.
If your child wishes to bring a large animal eg horse or cow or something that has “unusual” requirements please let Kaye know ASAP!!
Please bring a cage for your cat, rabbit, guinea pig, hen, duck or other small creature. Make sure they have a good water supply and some food/treats as well. It’s also a great idea to have a place within the cage that the animal can hide for some quiet “ME” time.
And yes we will be doing the old standard Pet Fancy Dress.
PLEASE keep checking back to this site as I will add more details as they come to hand……..
