A reminder to share

Today a group of children have taken home the 'magic reminder' bands.  These bands are to remind the children to share their latest learning on their ePortfolio with their parents.  Remember to bring them back tomorrow for others to use.  Be great to get some comments on our ePortfolios please parents:)

Ben's Message

 I wanted to say Hi & tell everyone about my new school. My new school is called Gumdale an it is way bigger than Normandale school. It is a good maths & writing school but I get lots of homework! I have to wear school uniform. My new teachers name is Mrs Rossignol and right now I have a teacher called Mrs Black. I am in class 3R. I think living in Australia is nice, warm and I have a school tuckshop! I miss all my friends in New Zealand though! Hi Chris, Charlie, hi Rachel and everyone else who is my friend.
Lots of Love from Australia.
