Week 4 :)

Hey everyone,

Thank you to all of those who were able to come to school Mass on Sunday, it was great to see so many of you there celebrating the beginning of our school year. Thanks also to those who came to the meet and greet picnic, it was great to see so many of you there too :)

Homework: This week this is reading, spelling and maths homework, all is due in on Friday. Please encourage your child to complete all of their homework and if they are not sure about it, they can talk to me at school. The probability sheet should not be hard as we are doing very similar worksheets in class. Please talk to me if you have any concerns :)

Tuesday: There are house meetings at 1.30 for our house captains to be chosen for 2015. This is very exciting and it will be good to have the houses up and running for the year.

Wednesday: Ash Wednesday - there is a liturgy being held at 12pm at the Church, you are all welcome to join us. Room 5 children will be doing the readings, children will be chosen tomorrow.

Thursday: NZ Playhouse, this will be an awesome performance which starts at 1.30. We are extremely thankful to the PTA who are covering the cost of this show. Im sure they children will love it!!

Friday: Buddy Reading time with our new house captains organising their house for the swimming sports. Assembly will be led by Room 6 and will begin at 2.10, you are all welcome to join us.

Monday 23rd: Swimming sports - all children need to be dropped at the pool by 9am, bus children will get taken to the pool when they arrive at school. As houses have a trophy to compete for this year it would be awesome to see as many of the children get dressed up and into the house spirit. House colours should be worn to the pool. PLEASE NO CRETE paper as it makes a mess of the pool!


Softball/Teeball - games will be played at school this week as all St Gerard's teams are playing each other. Games will start slightly earlier at 3.15 so should be finished just after 4. The tee ball game will be on the bottom field and the two softball boys teams will play on the top field.

Here I was thinking that this week will be 'normal' with no swimming but as per usual there are interruptions - good ones of course! :)

Next week is going to be equally crazy as I have release for two mornings so Mr Hogue will be teaching science. It is also PAT testing week so we will be busy, busy, busy in Room 5.

Have a great week and remember to come and see me of you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Jo  :)
