Term 2 Week 8

Hi everyone,

Sorry for being terrible with the updates on the class blog. 

Information for the remainder of the term.....

School Mass is this Sunday 29 June celebrating the feast of St John the Baptist and Saints Peter and Paul. Children are to wear their winter school uniform and meet us at 8.50 outside the church.  Families are asked to bring a plate for a shared morning tea and a food bank item for the Offertory.

We have our eisteddfods next week. By now your child should be well on their way to knowing their poem off by heart and be practicing it each night. This week there is no spelling or maths homework as the children need to ensure they know their poems well. They will be presenting them on Monday 30th (and Tuesday 1st if needed). We will be selecting 6 children to present their poems in the Eisteddfod Assembly on Thursday 3rd July. 

We are busy with skating this week and next week. Everyone did a great job on Tuesday and enjoyed themselves (only a few falls and tumbles on the ice). We are back up to the rink today and have enough transport to get everyone there and back. Next week (week 9) we are skating on Monday and Wednesday. If you are able to help with transport and you haven't let me know could you please do so ASAP so I can ensure we have enough seats to get to and from the skating rink. ALL students must now bring and wear a helmet while skating!!

Camp..... we are still finalising what we are going to do for camp and deciding if it is manageable to add on a Marae visit in Dunedin at the end or if we do that as a separate trip/event. I will be sending a letter home next week about fundraising as I still need to find a parent to coordinate the Room 5 fundraising. If you are interested in doing this, please text or email me.

We have had a busy and full on term and everyone is getting ready for a holiday. 

Please get n touch with me if you have any problems.

Have a good week and weekend - Go the Highlanders!!

Jo :)
