food and warmth. Edith Sitwell

Principal’s Report School Hats A reminder to all students this week to keep bringing and wearing your school hat each day, even during these Winter months. It is also important for students to remember that they must not share hats and that each child brings their own school hat. School hats are available for purchase from the office for $10.00 each.

Chess Club This week, members of our Chess Club were delighted to receive six new chess sets. Chess is proving to be very popular amongst students with the more experienced players only too keen to pass on their skills to the eager new learners.

black bones and skin, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot,

The key to everything is pa ence.

You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.
