Term 1, Week 7

HI Folks,

Not long now until CAMP!!!   We are so lucky to live in such a great part of the world and it's nice for our kids to become a little more familiar with their own backyard!  Another gentle reminder to you for your child's bike to be sorted before our departure.


The Playhouse Theatre will visit our school on Thursday this week.  We are also making room for Omakau School to join us for the show. 

PAT's will be happening in class this week.  These provide some good data for me and the information from them helps me to build an overall picture of where your child is at academically.  We will have 4 tests over the week - Maths, Reading Comprehension, Reading Vocabulary and Listening Comprehension.

Stop Ball is a game we play most days during fitness time.  The kids all seem to enjoy themselves and they learn so much about team dynamics, improve their ball handling skills, quick thinking and strategy all while just getting out of the classroom for a breather.  It's such a neat part of our day - myself and the children look forward to it.  I'm pretty sure it's helped a good number of kids in our room to really develop their ball handling skills too.  Just thought you'd like to know!

There's not too much to pop on the blog for this week - really just sorting bits and pieces for camp and making sure all is in order.  If you're a parent attending camp, expect a notice home/email from Bridget and myself with a few more details for you all. 

Have a great week,

Mrs Lyon
