Congratulations to 3 Gold and 5 Gold, the two classes to earn a Gold Star last week!! Many other classes are close, it is looking better this week! I am again including a reminder of Library days for each class:

Monday – Year 2, Tuesday – Year 6, Year 5, 

                                             Wednesday – Year 3, Year 1 

                                              Thursday – Year 4, Kinder

Sometimes the lessons need to be changed, you will be notified of the change for that particular week, then it goes back to the regular day unless you are otherwise notified.

Premiers' Reading Challenge:  Even though we can’t register yet for the PRC you can start reading the books. It is an easy challenge – students in Years 3 - 6 only need to read 20 books from the PRC list, and students in K, 1 and 2 are required to read 30. The booklists are found at https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html

If you would like a record sheet it can be printed from the website, or the students can collect one from the Library at Lunch 2.

You can search our Library Catalogue to see all the available books on the list – go to oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev, and type ‘premier’ in the search box.  You can then select the required level, either K-2, 3-4, or 5-6

Daily Reading: Please remember to try to read with your children for at least ten minutes a day, and encourage your children to read themselves. February 1 was World Read Aloud Day, a day when all around the world people are encouraged to read aloud to each other to focus on the importance of reading aloud and sharing stories. Around the world parents and teachers recognise the value of reading aloud to your children, no matter how old they are. Have a look at the website, http://www.litworld.org/wrad, and even download a book to share with your children.

Read Aloud. Change the World.

Happy reading!
