We currently have only a few pairs of black jazz shoes to sell. If you have jazz shoes that you have outgrown please place them in a zip lock bag with your name on it and give them to Miss Reynolds. You will receive $10 for your old jazz shoes when they have been sold. You can also purchase 2^nd hand jazz shoes from us for $10 if we have the correct size for you. You do not have to be a member of the school dance groups to buy or sell shoes through the jazz shoe pool.

Please see Miss Reynolds or Mrs Wargren for more information.

2010 Performing Arts Weekly Timetable

For those of you already thinking about what performing arts groups you would like to be in next year, below is a timetable of when lessons will be held. Unfortunately there are some clashes of lessons; this is unavoidable as our specialist teachers are only available on certain days.

	Before School	After School
Monday	Opera House Recorders Beginner Recorder Primary Choir Guitar Group
Tuesday	Senior Girls Dance
Wednesday	Boys Dance	Senior Band
Thursday	Junior Girls Dance Guitar Group Percussion	Rock Band
Friday	Infants Choir Junior Band

Year 6 Parents’ Dinner

Please come along to Berowra Heights Hotel for dinner on the 5^th November at 7pm to catch up with other year 6 parents.

Come on your own or bring your partner

Please RSVP to Liesel 94562114 Mob.0414342502 or lbalken@gmail.com or just come along.

Our School’s Cookbook

Your family recipes are needed for our Wideview Cookbook to help raise money for the canteen. Please send in your yummy recipes to the canteen with your name and class included as your name will be in the cookbook as well. The cookbook will be on sale later in the year just in time for Christmas.

Children’s Artwork

In our Wideview Cookbook we would like to use pictures (food related) for the front and back cover and also throughout the cookbook on title pages.

For example cakes, biscuits, jams etc. If your child would like to do some pictures please make sure their name is on it as this will be shown in the cookbook. Not all pictures will be used as the right picture for the appropriate page will be selected.

All pictures and recipes or questions to be asked can be handed in at the canteen or emailed to Liesel Balken lbalken@gmail.com.

We’ll look forward to seeing your yummy recipes.

The Canteen Committee

Calling all Kindergarten Singers!

The Infants Choir is inviting new singers to join us. If you are in kindergarten and would like to “have a go” at choir, please meet Miss Hardie and Mrs Wargren in the Assembly Hall at 8:40 am every Friday morning. Hope to see you there.

Bush Regeneration

Thankyou for all the newspaper already sent in, but we still need more. Please send all newspapers to Mrs Dempsey’s classroom.

CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS!

To any parents or children who have taken photos at school events (swimming/athletics carnivals, excursions, gardening, band and dance events, etc), could you please send copies of these photos to me at stephanie.lake@det.nsw.edu.au
