Apologies for the silence on the blog front, but have just got my head above the athletic sports, which was so well supported by everyone.
This week there is reading and spelling homework, with spelling being tested on Friday.
As Mrs Stratford was unwell on Friday, I was lucky enough to listen to the Morning Programme. Well done you people - Amelia your instructions were so clear - you used the terminology of 'instructions' that we are learning about for our writing. Two fantastic book reviews followed, with Aurelia sharing part of hers in song. What a beautiful voice you have Aurelia. Isabella organised hers independently and we loved hearing your favourite pages. A couple of people need to catch up this week for Mrs Stratford, Jay-T and ??? - I did have this written on the board, but it has gone.
WOW! A Wheels Term:
Just a reminder that scooters need to be parked on the grass at the end of the mini ball court during the day. There is no riding of scooters anywhere other than on the court and scooters need to be pushed down the hill to the church after school.
Wednesday 1st November - Thyme Festival Lunch Time Concert: 12 - 1pm
We are leaving for the area between St Enoch's church and Community House at 11:35am and will be eating our lunch there. It would be super to have some parents to walk with us. I am attending a Reading Recovery In -Service Course at 1pm so Mrs Stratford will be with the class from 12:45.
The items that our school are presenting this year are: Junior School Kapahaka, School choir and main Kapahaka. This means that many of us will be an audience this year. Be sure to have your correct summer uniform with your school hat. The main Kapahaka group need to wear the school sports uniform. (school tee-shirt, black shorts and school hat.)
All Souls Day: Thursday 2nd November
Lunch will be at 12 - 12:45. We will walk to the cemetery at 1pm. Again I would appreciate parents to walk with us. There will be a short liturgy followed by placing of rosemary for remembrance on graves.
We have been busy planning a variety of learning experiences for the term - the dates are now as confirmed as possible - you may want to write these on your calendar if you don't already use the school calendar on the website.

Great to see everyone with hats to protect them from this hot sun. Remember that there is sunblock in the medical room if required, although I know many people prefer to put this on before school. Super to see some children carry their own personal sunblock in their back packs.
Have a great week - hard to believe that we are into week 3 already.
