Week 2 Term 3

Frosty nights but beautiful days - although some ice early on and muddy patches to contend with.
Great to have Mrs Stratford join us last week, thank you all for making her feel so welcome to our wonderful room of learning.
Ski Day: information went home on Thursday with a tear off slip - Wow quite a few back by Friday - thanks so much, as this makes it so much easier for planning. Please by Wednesday - I know that some people may be wanting to confirm leave, to hit the trails with us. A separate post with the clothing list will be on the blog, which will also come home as a hard copy for the fridge door.
Gymnastics = Tuesdays: Please be sure to wear sports uniform - so much easier than kilts.
Cross Country: we are challenging ourselves as we get fit for this school event. Please wear a pair of runners to school each day - school shoes are hard to run in and not good for feet, ankles or legs!

Closer to the time we will walk then run the track and will need some parents to accompany us. Pencil in Monday 14th August at 1:30.

Wednesday Mass: 9:00 am - led by Room 4

CRT Release Time: Thursday 3 August 10:30 - 12:45: This term we welcome Mrs Chamberlain, who is going to teach dance - we will be stars by the end of the term with both gymnastics and dance. Be sure that you are at the wow night in the last week of term where we will share some of the term's learning.

Feeling excited: We sent some amazing colouring to Southernwide Real Estate last week and a little birdie has told us that St Gerards has a winner - that means an i-pad for a class and a scooter for the person who won!!!!

School Mass = Sunday 13th August 

Assembly this week will be led by Rooms 3 & 7: love to see you there!

Homework

1. Reading: remember to read something every night.
2. Spelling; time ran away on us last week and we didn't get our lists tooled ready to take home.  All done for this week, but 7 people didn't have their homework books here to glue them in.  Please have a good look at home for these and the poetry books that are AWOL at home.
3. Clothing for gymnastics on Tuesday & running shoes each day. Have an extra wee run with the dog or Mum or Dad.  I hear a whisper that someone was going to the course at the weekend to have a wee run!! 

Homework at the weekend = surely NOT.

School Photos on Friday = school shoes. 

(no runners in the photos)

Sports team photos will also be taken - bring your tracksuits, sports uniforms & netball skirts.

Vanessa & Kate - please check with the office as to an approximate time as we'd love to have you in the photos with the girls.
