Term 3 Week 6  [25th --29th August]

This week we will be spending time on Persuasive Writing, our Topic 'Elections'--[began this topic on Friday, focusing on Leaders. I put up images of John Key and no-one knew who he was!] 

We have started on Athletics for PE, but will move to Gymnastics the following week. The children seem very excited about this coming event
  
This coming Friday is our turn with Rm 11 to run the school assembly. You are very welcome to attend. It starts at 1.30 approx. Be there early to get a seat. 

We had the Art Attack expo last Monday, seeing all the Art displayed was amazing.

The group of children who started this term going to PMP on Mondays and Tuesdays finished up their sessions yesterday. 

Here are some photos of the activities that Jacqui works with them on. 

Next week; Milan, Ben, Millie, Amelia,Stanly, Bella and Savanna begin their 5 week sessions. For these children that means on a Monday they will not need to get changed into their school uniform. 

Events coming up this week August 11-15th

 

 

Thursday : Cricket Coaching- Coaches from Milo Cricket will be working with our students in the morning.

 

 

Friday: School's Feast Day--The children are to come in their school uniform and this time they will need their sport clothes.  Being our Feast day, fun activities have been planned for the day. It will start with Mass and then after morning tea the Physical Education Leaders will be teaching the students new Jump Jam routines. After lunch it will be the Talent contest. The students entering in this have already auditioned and the best have gone through to the finals.

 

See you tomorrow.

Friday August 1st 

It has been a busy fortnight, especially with it being Art Attack for four days a week. Skipping has been the theme of our Fitness as well as Jump Jam on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Stanley's Paper Batik. 

Next week our class attends Mass on Friday August 8th. The children will come to school on that day in their school uniform. Liz [Simon's Mum is organizing coffee after wards in the library]. Put the date in your diaries. 

I have been meaning to send home this week a letter  re Nits. There was one case of it at the end of the term. When the Public Health Nurse came to the 'Welcome Wednesday' morning meeting on July 23rd she said that Parents should have a routine in place to check for nits. She suggested once a week. 

When you visit Room 1 next week do check out the art! This week it was printmaking and next week we loom closely at the works of Eric Carle.
