Week 8

Hi team,

Sorry for the extremely late post this week. After my weekend away in Auckland it has taken me a few days to catch up on what is happening. It's very busy!

Homework:
Spelling, maths (basic Facts), project (master chef - due on THURSDAY), poetry eisteddfods. We will be talking about these during the week and will begin to do some petty research and reading during class. Please help your child to pick and learn an appropriate poem to share with the class in Week 10. 

Camp:
I have sent home the first camp notice today. This has a slip at the bottom that needs returned  - please include the payment information (I put the dotted line in the wrong place) :) 
If you have any questions about any of this initial information, please get in touch with me.

Fundraising:
We are having a meeting on Tuesday 16th at 6.45 in Room 5 (This is for Room 3,4 and 5 parents). If you are wanting to fundraise it's important that you come to this meeting please or get in touch with me to let me know you are interested. At this stage we still haven't got anyone to coordinate the fundraising, camp is only 9 weeks away!

We are very lucky that Loretta has offered to start some fundraising on Sunday after Mass outside the church. She will be selling baking and would love some donations from parents please. Baking can be left in the staffroom on Friday (wrapped well). If you are able to provide baking or would like to help you can let Loretta know directly or send me an email and I can pass it on.

Reports:
Testing is almost finished :) You can expect to have your child's Mid Year National Standard report before the end of the term. 

Friday:
We are lucky enough to have two teams attending the Central Otago Rippa Rugby Finals in Frankton on Friday. I will be heading over with the teams for the day. Mr Yeoman will be looking after the remaining children from Room 5 & 6. 

Miniball has been cancelled for the Yr 5/6 team on Friday as half of the team won't be back to Alex in time for their game. The whole season draw will come out tomorrow.

There is assembly on Friday but no school mass. Feel free to come and join us.


That is all for now.

Have a great week

Jo :)
