ELC news
This week we welcomed ten tadpoles in each classroom at the ELC. Thank you to Janice (Georgia’s mum) for collecting them for us. We look forward to learning so much about their life cycle over this term.
Mango Fundraiser
Once again the ELC are hosting the Mango Fundraiser. Trays can be ordered on Qkr for $27 each. Orders close on Monday 30 October. Farmers have experienced very low crops this year so trays will be a little smaller than last year – 4.5Kgs with 9-14 mangoes.
Walk-a-thon
The Lobsters and Turtles will join with the primary school for our annual Walk-a-thon tomorrow, 20 October. The Stingrays will have their Walk-a-thon next Wednesday 25 October. Information and sponsorship forms have been sent home. Check your teacher email for details about dress-ups for the day. Thank you to those parents who have volunteered their time to help out.
