HI Folks,

Please remember Swimming is tomorrow - Thursday - Clothing and swimming togs must be worn in the pool.

Singing practice is going well for Aladdin, the kids are really working hard to learn songs, words and some of them - lines!

Have a great week and enjoy the holiday break.  I'll be in Dunedin watching my Olly play hockey.

Hi Folks,

We're on the downhill slide to the holidays. Here's what's happening this week.

• Kaboom Performance - Monday Morning. There will be no Monday morning prayer this week as we have a performance from Kaboom happening first thing. 
• Aladdin Practice - This week we will be having Aladdin practice daily except for Friday. Please encourage your children to keep learning the songs and lyrics so that they know them by heart asap.
• Eisteddfod. We'll be having singing eisteddfod in our classroom on Thursday and Friday this week.  
• Swimming - early session - This week our swimming will happen in the morning as we have a writers workshop and show happening with Deano - a visitor to our school who is in Alexandra for The Blossom Festival.
• Touch Notices - Please ensure these are returned ASAP. No notice = no place in the team. 
• Ultimate Frisbee has finished so it will be back to school uniform on Wednesdays. 
• ICT info night is on Wednesday evening. This will begin with a picnic tea 5.30 start.
• There will be a $10 charge popped onto your school accounts for the golf sessions we had with Kelly Sports.  

Hope you've all had a nice weekend, I've had a beauty in Auckland with my sisters!

Take care and have a good week.

Term 3, Week 8

Hi Folks,

Here are the goings on for week 8.
Sports Uniform may be worn on Wednesday for Ultimate Frisbee and Thursday for swimming.  Our swimming session on Thursday will be the 2pm session which means that our trip back to school can be rather tight to make it back in times for buses and the bell.  Not only do we have a workout in the pool, the walk back to school can be rather brisk too!

School uniform reminder - There are a number of children in Room 5 who choose to wear running shoes or trainers as opposed to the actual school uniform.  It is absolutely fine for children to bring shoes to run in at playtime and lunchtime, but the uniform is the uniform and it would be great to see it being worn correctly on a regular basis.  I seem to have on average a couple of kids per day who will wear non regulation shoes and a reminder to the class about this seems to fall on deaf ears.  Please ensure your child has correct uniform or a note to explain otherwise.

Aladdin costumes - These have been ordered for the girls from Aliexpress and should be arriving shortly  The cost for these is $16 each.  This can be paid at the school office.
We are heating up in the singing department for the big event in Term 4.

Eisteddfod Singing:  Next week we will be having the presentation of songs for the eisteddfod singing competition.  Please help your child practise these at home so they are prepared for their performance at school.  The assembly for these will be held on the last Friday of term.


Mr Hogue will be teaching the class on Friday this week.

Have a great week,

Mrs Lyon

Term 3, Week 7

Hi All,

School Photos are happening this THURSDAY.   As this coincides with swimming, this will mean your child will NOT BE WEARING THEIR PE UNIFORM on Thursday.  Full Winter Uniform must be worn for school photos. 

Swimming gear must also be brought to school for our lesson in the afternoon.

School Mass - This Sunday.  Please let me know asap if your child will not be attending because of sporting or other reasons.  A note would be appreciated.

That's all folks

Mrs Lyon
