Week TEN!!!

Hi everyone,

Wow it's hard to believe we only have 4 days to go until we are on holiday. We've had such a busy and full on term!

This week continues to be cray busy. We celebrated Mercy Day today with St Johns School from Ranfurly. We had  a lovely Mass, a delicious lunch and a fun afternoon of games. 

There is lots happening for the rest of the week too.....

Tuesday: Eisteddfods presented in class (the 22 that didn't present them today), Athlectis rotation (pm) please wear sports uniforms to school :)
Wednesday: Florrey candy decorations/arts and crafts, Athletics rotation (pm) - Sports gear can be worn to school.
Thursday: Sports uniform day - Swimming(am) children will need clothing to swim in - long sleeved top and pants - no onesies or jeans. Eisteddfod assembly @ 2pm in the hall. Please come and join us
Friday: Last day of term. Round The Clock Race for those children who have put their names down. Please meet at the Linger and Die (across the road from the old swimming pool) at 4.25. I will be there to organize you.

CAMP: Thank you to all of you who have put your names forward to help out. We have 10 parents who are able to attend camp which is fantastic!! I have talked to a few parents who are happy to form a committee. We will meet this week and discuss food for camp which will finalize the cost of camp. I will be able to give the final cost out to you all at the beginning of term 4. At this stage it is looking at being between $100 and $150. At this stage we still need a few more 'driving parents' and vehicles to get us from place to place. I am hoping to get an 11 seater vehicle but we may still need another few vehicles as there are about 40 seats required and only about 20 seats offered. We will get this sorted next term though.

Florrey:
I have been busy making the florrey at home and am hoping to get it over to school later this week so the kids can put the finishing touches on it. I'm just hoping it will fit through a door way so it can get into school! I'm not entirely sure how they are judged but if the public can vote, please vote for our "Candy House"!! :)

MUSICAL:
Its exciting to see the musical coming together! Please make sure all costumes are at school by Thursday this week (in a plastic bag with your child's name on it). We would love to have a run through with the children in costumes before the holidays. If you have any concerns about what your child needs, please come and see me ASAP. Please encourage your child to keep practicing their words and the words of the songs over the holidays.

There is no homework this week as it is the last week of term, however some children may need to finish their reading projects for homework. Children who are selected to say their speech at the assembly will need to be practicing during the week. 

I think that is all for this week. Please come and see me if you have any concerns about anything mentioned above.

I hope you all have a safe, relaxing and fun break!! I will certainly be relaxing in Rarotonga in the second week of the holidays! 

Enjoy!!

Jo :)
