Week 6 Term 4

Have had trouble doing this from home this week, so sorry for the late post.
Camp: notices have gone home with children.  This is next Thursday night - it seemed so far away.  Thank you to those people who have already returned theirs.
Celebrate a Saint Day: is on Friday.  Dress as your favourite saint and be able to tell a little about this person and why you chose them. There will be a parade on the court at 11:10.
Walk and Wheel Fun Day: is also on Friday.  Please wear sports clothes under your dress up outfit and bring your "wheels" to school - scooters etc.  There will be fun activities run by the Walk & Wheel co-ordinators. Helmets are required.
Assembly: Celebrate A Saint - run by Rooms 1 & 2.  This will start slightly later than usual due to the fun activities., 2:20 - 2:30ish.
Popcorn Maker: I still have one here at school and I can't remember who it belongs to, sorry.  Could you please collect it, if it is yours?
PTA Christmas Hamper Raffle: card per family has gone home this week.  Our PTA do so much to support our school financially, making sure that your children get the best of everything. Please support them by selling your card and remembering to bring something to add to the hamper. Room 3 need to bring a packet of something. This can be placed in the carton in the foyer.  Thank you so much to those people who have already done this.
Feel like some entertainment?  The Cassidy School of Dance has a show entitled "Magic Moments" which will be performed at 1:30 and 3pm on Sunday 23rd November at the Memorial Theatre.  Seats are $10 - at the door.
Shoes: please check the school website before buying shoes for the summer.  There are a few items being worn that are not regulation.

Homework

1. Reading: some groups are reading chapter books - this reading needs to be recorded in the reading log at the back of the homework book. Last week there were only 5 books handed in to the homework tray.  I was on release and forgot to remind everyone.
2. Spelling: this week we are looking at the long 'u' sound and its spelling patterns - be sure to tool and say the words clearly so that the sounds can be recorded in order.
3. Mihimihi: keep working on being able to say yours, so that you can present this when we visit the wharenui on Thursday. We are also working on some waiata that we can share.
