Dear Moms and Dads
Welcome back to another exciting Term. We trust that you all had a wonderful holiday and Easter weekend. It is lovely to have you all back at school again and we look forward to a great time of fun and learning together.
A big thank you to Ingrid and her team who capably looked after the children during holiday care. The children were able to bring their bikes to school each day and enjoyed some lovely Easter crafts and egg hunts.

PARENT WORKSHOP
Lisa Pedersen will present 2 workshops of 1 hour each over 2 evenings this term, at a cost of R40 per couple per workshop to cover costs. The workshops promise to be interactive and informative. Being a parent is not always easy and we all need a pat on the back or some new ideas at times. Please join us on Thursday 2nd May and Thursday 16th May from 7pm-8pm for a worthwhile evening. Please note a baby sitter will be provided if necessary at an additional cost of R10.

Please remember Rita in your thoughts and prayers. She had a mastectomy during the holidays and is recovering at home for the next 2-3 months. The doctors were pleased with the operation and we hope that Rita makes a full and speedy recovery.

EMOTIONAL LITERACY
The theme for this month is:
“Friendshipsâ€
-As we all know, feeling wanted and needed and being a part of a group is most important. Not only for children but each and every human being.
-Remember to include ‘play dates’ in your list of things to do. Your children need to socialise and play dates are valuable ways to improve and develop these social skills.
Here is the link for our website.
