Week 5 Term 3

Hi everyone,

Wow where is this term going?? We are almost half way through the term, which is very scary!!

I hope you all had a good week last week. This week is one of the last 'normal' ones before the madness hits us.

The children have been given their homework for this week. Spelling, reading, maths (division) and a new project for the next two weeks - cooking you and your family a delicious meal :)

Room 5 is on assembly this week and the whole school will be attending Mass at 12 as well. We are busy practicing the musical songs at 2.30 most afternoons. Things will start to come together a bit more in the next few weeks when children begin to practice their speaking parts together.

We have been out skipping for P.E and fitness as we are participating in The Heart Foundations 'Jump Rope for Heart' programme. If your child has their own skipping rope at home they are more than welcome to bring it into school, as we don't have enough for one each. More information about this will come out in the next few days.

Next week is going to be busy with the Catholic ERO team doing a review on the school from Tuesday - Thursday. The C.O Cross Country is on Tuesday - I will be going to Arrowtown with the children competing and the rest of Room 5 will be at school with Mr Yeoman for the day. 

SWIMMING:
Beginning next week Room 5 will be swimming every Thursday from 9.15-10.15. This is a tricky time as we wont have enough time to walk to the pool and get organised before the lesson begins. I will be at the pool at 9.00 and children can get dropped directly to the pool instead of coming to school first. If your child comes to school on the bus Mrs Eastwood will take them to the pool. We will be walking back to school after the lesson. Can you please email or text me to let me know how your child will be getting to the swimming pool on Thursdays as I need to ensure they all get there safely. 

They will need to get there no later than 9.00am!

If for any reason your child/ren can not swim on a particular day I need a note to explain this and they will still need to come to the pool.

Please get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns about anything.

Have a great week.

Jo :)
