Thank you to the families who have begun reading at home and are using the Reading Gems. We were excited to hand the first Emerald Awards last week.
Our school now has a system in place where classroom teachers need to enter the Gem Awards by Wednesday afternoon for them to be handed out at Assembly that Friday. This is to allow time for the information to be collated and awards written out in time for the assembly.
If your child returns their Home Reading Gems book after that Wednesday cut off (e.g. Thursday or Friday morning), the award will be carried over and handed out at the following weeks assembly.
Thank you to the families in K-2 who are actively participating in the home reading program using books from home. Students are becoming more confident using our new decodable readers and will be ready to bring home the new home readers very soon.
There will be more information for parents and carers around this at our ‘Reading at EHPS’ morning next week.
On Friday the 3rd of March, our school’s ‘Green Team’ undertook their first major job for the year and organised a whole school clean-up to coincide with ‘Clean Up Australia Day’.
We set out after assembly to clean up our school grounds, each grade was given an area to cover to ensure our whole school was clean… we could not believe how much rubbish was collected. Well done Green Team and students and staff at EHPS!
Congratulations to Indiah who has been selected to represent the Mid North Coast and Inland at the NSW PSSA Girls AFL Championships in Batemans Bay next term.
Fantastic effort Indiah and good luck at State!
