Term 1, Week 5

Swimming Sports:  Please ensure your child is dressed in appropriate house colours and that they have plenty to eat and drink tomorrow.  Two towels is usually a good idea for the sports day and obviously checking the goggles are packed is the go on swimming sports day.
I hope to see many of you at the pool cheering on your fantastic kids, the swimming sports are always great fun and a great way for the whole class to support each other in their swimming successes.

Swimming sports helpters:  Please report to Deb O'Neill and Chris Beilby by 8:50am if you have volunteered your services at the swimming sports.  

School Kit - Get NZ writing:  As part of a national push to get NZ school students writing, School Kit have sent our class a poem layout and metaphor postcards which we will complete in class by this Friday so that they can be sent to another classroom in NZ.  Look out for next week's blog where I'll post our poem and also include details of the class we will swap with.  Their writing should arrive to our classroom sometime next month!

Homework this week is the usual spelling, reading and maths sheets.  I have also sent an email to your child with a link to the digital learning objects on the nz maths website.  These tools are easy to use and are helpful to cement the learning we do in class.

See some of you tomorrow - have a good week.

Mrs Lyon.
