Welcome to Week 5! Book Week - ‘Reading is My Secret Power’ Book Week is happening in Week 6. Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances days for next weeks book week activities, which were published in last weeks newsletter, have been altered.

Writing with Mr Hogan Next Wednesday we will be welcoming back Mr Hogan to BPS. He will be working with the Kinder to year 2 students on a special writing project. He will be coming each Wednesday for about an hour to work with the students. This project will culminate in a book being produced, with every student taking home a copy. Welcome Mr Vance This week we welcomed Mr Tennyson Vance to Blighty Public School. Mr Vance will be teaching the Kinder to Year 2 class whilst Mrs Conallin is on leave. We hope he enjoys his time here with us and I am sure he will be made to feel welcomed by all. Robotics On Friday Ms Kempton will be returning to work with the Year 3 to 6 on robotics and coding. She will be here from 9:20am to 11:20am for the remainder of the term.
