Classy Cooks

This week in Classy Cooks Year 2 made Nachos. They were very busy grating, chopping, stirring, washing up and eating! We looked at the garden and did some weeding and watering. If your child has a pair of gardening gloves and would like to bring them in for their session this Wednesday please feel free, although not necessary. Also an old t shirt might be good to put over their school shirt as I noticed a lot of students quite dirty after their session in the garden. If you haven’t paid for Term 2 please pay $3 to the office.

Happy Cooking Mr Wiggins

This week 5/6T will be gardening and cooking

Excursion Deposits Reminder

This is a reminder that deposits for the Years 3 & 4 excursions were due by the 5th May. We have paid a holding deposit for both of these camps which will be held from the 30th August to 1st September. If you have not already paid your deposit please do so by Friday 16th June. The final payment for both of these camps is due on the 4th August.

Deposits for the Year 5 & 6 excursions are due by Friday 16th June, with the final payments due by 22nd September. These excursions have to be paid by the school a month prior to travel which is why payments are required earlier than the leaving dates.

Woolgoolga Primary Trivia Night

Watoto Childrens Choir

LOST PROPERTY After cleaning up the lost property area yesterday there is a clothes basket full of unnamed jumpers left over as well as about a dozen lunch boxes and some drink bottles. If these items are not claimed by Friday of this week the jumpers will be washed and put into our clothing pool, the lunchboxes & drink bottles will have to be thrown away, which is a shame given the cost of these things. PLEASE name your children’s belongings. While doing this clean up there were only 6 jumpers and lunchboxes with names on which could be returned to their owners!

Watoto Childrens Choir

Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled extensively since 1994, sharing a message of

hope for Africa’s orphans and widows. To date, the choir has toured six continents and

performed to enthralled audiences in schools, retirement homes, churches, parliaments,

state houses and royal palaces.The Watoto Children’s Choir is a unique ‘reaching out’

tool. Reach people in your organisation, community or church. Address issues of global

significance and fuel your missions or outreach program to care for the orphan and

widow.

Each child in the Watoto Children’s Choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents

and now lives in a Watoto village.

When? They will be presenting their performance from 6pm at Woolgoolga Primary

School Hall in Scarborough Street Woolgoolga

Cost? No there is no charge but there is merchandise for sale that funds the choir

directly.
