Week 8 Term 2

A shame about the ice skating on Tuesday - remember your gear this Tuesday - hopefully we'll get started.

I am at a meeting in Dunedin on Monday, so Ms Bennett will be teaching all morning, then Year 4 will be in Room 4 for the afternoon with the rest of the class divided over rooms 1, 2 & 7.

This week our theme will be Matariki, and we will be looking at the stories behind constellations.

The final assembly of the term will be our school Cultural Assembly on the Friday afternoon.  When we investigated our families in term 1 many of us found that we belonged to different cultures.  If there is anyone who wants to share something about their heritage, please let me know this week so that I can pass this on to the cultural leaders for inclusion in the assembly which will be our celebration of our diversity.

Homework

1. Reading - great to see so many people well over 50 nights reading now.  Keep this up.
2. Spelling - more work on the "long o' spelling patterns.
3. Poetry Eisteddfod - please make sure that you have a copy of the poem you are going to present glued into your homework book.  If you are going to say one of the class poems, see me for a copy so that you have it at home to learn each night.
4. Morning Programme - a reminder that you have a planner for this in your homework book.  A couple of people forgot last week - this is your job to self manage.

We need a bit of snow! Not that much up there when I flew over this afternoon.
