Week 3 Term 3

We are all enjoying having Mrs Stratford sharing the teaching in Room 3.  For her, the first couple of weeks have been like 'starting up a class' at the beginning of the year.
Thank you to the parents who joined us for our assembly last Friday.
After a very busy week last week, this week does not have heaps of extra activities.
Gymnastics with Sharelle Tuesday 1:30: last week our excitement of the initial week had worn off, (when many of us found it hard to stop and listen). We practised our balance skills on benches and the real beam. We also showed that we could co-operate well to compete in team challenges. Go Room 3!! Girls, please wear school sports uniform - trying to balance and do floor work in heavy kilts is difficult.
Cross Country Training for fitness: remember to wear trainers each day while we are running.
Monday 14th we will head to the cross country course to practise at 1:30. I need 2 or 3 parents who could accompany us for this EOTC experience.  Please email or text me if you are available.
Sunday 13th August - school mass 9:00am - please be seated with Room 3 in full winter school uniform by 8:55. If your child is unable to attend, please let me know so that they are not given a job. There will be morning tea at the conclusion of mass, so a small plate of food would be appreciated or  an item for the food bank. A reminder to children that they are to wait to leave the church with the teacher, and allow the adults to get a cuppa first. The morning tea was a bit cramped last time, and we don't want accidents with hot water.
Ski Trip: Thank you for all the offers of help for this day. We can now move ahead with the finer details of the planning.  A gear list went home on Friday in reading folders.

Homework:

1. Reading - keep your log up to date.  If you have lost your reading log book, please see me and I will give you a log for the back of your homework book.
2. Spelling - Go Room 3 - what a great job you did of the long 'u' spelling pattern last week. It's a tricky one and most of you nailed it. Second week of learning this pattern - I'm sure that you will all be just as successful.
3. Cross Country Training - have a wee run to get that fitness up - only one week till you need a day off before the competition.

Looking forward to another great week of learning together.
