Week 9, term 3

Hi everyone,

Can't believe that it's the last week of term already!

We have a busy week ahead of us, with musical practices most mornings from 10.30-12.45.  If you have an animal onesie at home that you haven't sent along yet, could you please send it along tomorrow.  We are also looking for pairs of white angel wings.

On Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 2.10, we have athletic's practice, so sports' uniforms may be worn on these days.  Children are now able to choose between wearing winter and summer uniform depending on the weather, but the summer uniform is compulsory after the holidays.  The children are  looking forward to being able to bring their scooters to school next term.

Tuesday afternoon is the last day of the Grandparent reading programme for Room 1 and we are making and serving afternoon tea to the grandmas.  We are very thankful to these ladies for giving up their time each Tuesday to read and play games with the children. It is one of the highlights of the week and the children are very sad that it is finishing for the year.

On Monday and Tuesday, children will be singing their Eisteddfod song to the class and six Year 1-2 children will be chosen to perform at the school Assembly at 1.30pm this Thursday 22 September.

Important Dates Coming Up:
School Musical - Noah: Matinee 1pm and evening performance 6.30pm Wednesday 19 October, evening performance 6.30pm Thursday 20 October.
School Athletics Day: Wednesday 26 October

Have a great week,

Sue, Julie and Rosalie

Week 8, Term 3

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to make the most of this beautiful weather!

Just a reminder about school photos tomorrow morning 12th September.  All children to be wearing their correct winter uniform.

Also, the children need to have a song ready to sing to the class by next Monday 19th September.  Some suggestions are: a song we sing in class,  a song from the musical, or a nursery rhyme.  Some children will be chosen to sing their song at the school Eisteddfod assembly on Thursday afternoon 22 September.

This Sunday, some of our Year 4 children will be receiving the sacrament of Confirmation at the 9.00am Mass.  It would be lovely if your family could come along to support these children.

Have a great week,

Sue, Julie and Rosalie.

Week 7, Term 2

Hi everyone,

Please remember our Father's Day lunch tomorrow at 12.15pm and please send along $6.00 to cover the costs, or $3.00 if only your child is attending.

Also, a reminder to keep sending along animal onesies for the production, so we know how many we have and how many we will have to source.

Tomorrow afternoon, Room 1 and 2 are in the school garden with Sue Brydges.  If your child has their own gardening gloves, could they please bring them to school tomorrow. They could also wear their sports uniform if you would prefer them to be gardening in their trackpants.

On Wednesday afternoon, the teachers will be attending a stop workmeeting for NZEI. A letter was sent home last week about this, with a form to be returned to school. Please let the office know whether your child will be attending school on Wednesday afternoon, as Mrs Lyon and Mrs Eastwood need to know how many students they will be planning for.

Next Monday, September 12th, there are school photos. Please ensure your child is wearing the correct winter uniform on this day If you wanted a family photo, this form should have been returned to Alyssa by last Friday.

Have a great week.

Sue, Julie and Rosalie
