ABC books: the last of these are being prepared. A great idea of mine, but it has been time consuming - thank you to those who have helped with this. How to use this book is explained on the front page. The younger readers have had theirs first up as they are not taking home books to read to you yet.
Swimming Sports - Thursday 28th
All students are to be at the pool by 9 am
in their house colours. Brightly coloured clothing is great, but please no crepe paper – this marks the
pool surroundings when it gets wet. Please make sure that your child has two
towels – one for sitting on and using after races and the other to dry down
with at the end of the sports. As it is very hot inside the pool, plenty of
water should be packed along with a good sized morning tea. Children will be sitting with their houses.
Timetable:
championship and non-championship races will begin
as soon after 9 am as possible.
9:00 – 10:00 (approximately) championship
& non-championship full length races.
10:15 – 10:30ish break for morning tea – Is
there someone willing to arrange cuppas for the workers?
10:15 – 11 Junior school sports in the
therapeutic pool.
11 – 12 Completion of championship and
non-championship full length races. House relays – plus a lane for teachers and
staff. Do you want to swim a leg of the
parent relay? Is there anyone who can arrange a team of 4? This is a highlight for the kids – come on
community!
Note:
Parents of Junior school students wishing to watch
their children we suggest you come 10 – 11.
Children will travel back to school
after 12 by bus.
If you are unable to transport your bus
child/children to the pool please let Mrs Beilby know by Wednesday, as staff will
transport these children from school to the pool.
Junior School Camp:
Please ensure that your child's notice is returned by tomorrow (Monday). This will help us as we organise tents, supervision etc. Thank you to those people who have returned theirs already.
Seesaw:
Last week was a big learning step for me. Thank you to those of you who have set this app up. If anyone needs another copy of the how to set up sheet please let me know. My goal was to post something onto each student's page - nearly!! I will make sure that those whose I didn't quite get to, will have something this week.
School Garden:
Once again Rachael Baxter is willing to work in the school garden on Wednesday afternoons. Room 3 are lucky to work in small groups with the seniors and Rachael. Each child will get the opportunity to get some hands on learning - the roster is on the classroom window. Group 2 will be this week. Thank you so much for offering your skills in this way, Rachael.

Homework books will come home this week. The Studyladder log-in information is there, plus a 1-10 sheet. Please practise counting up to 10 and back down. Use language like what is just before, just after. Which are odd numbers? even numbers? Sheets with 100 will be put into some people's books as we move into the term.
Reading log books:
I haven't used these before, but some people are making great use of all the activities available - Religious Education as well as the word lists at the back of the book.
Years 1 & 2 will be learning Kapahaka with Ms Tamati after play tomorrow.
March already at the end of the week, where have the first weeks gone?
Have a great week.
Chris
