Term 4 Week 8

What a busy time we had last week sharing Christmas crafts with the junior school and then the EOTC trip with the middle school on Friday.

Thank you Mr Milford, Claire & Damian Russell (mini golf) and all of the parents who encouraged us on the very hot ride down the Rail Trail. A special thank you to Loretta who stayed behind and gave my house a lux and tidy up after our departure. What a difference that made!! So appreciated.

Thanks for your support  in having the wide brimmed school hats on heads each day.  The heat has made everyone pretty tired ,especially as some are finding sleeping difficult. We all need to be aware of how our words and actions affect others, when we are not all on top of our game.

The homework again this week is to learn the words of the songs for the end of year. Room 3 have the innkeeper song, and will be singing and acting out this part of the Christmas story.  We will choose a Mary & Joseph, also an innkeeper, while the rest of us will be the townspeople - everyone will need to find something to wear in keeping with the story. Sheets and tea towels are always a great standby. There will be a dress rehearsal for this on Thursday 14th December at 1:30.
A selection of Junior Journals are available for take home reading for enjoyment. Spelling will be tested this week, so take a peek again at last week's list.

It is our turn to lead the Wednesday Parish Mass at 9:00am. Readings and prayers of the faithful will come home to practise so that we can read clearly for the parishioners. It's always exciting to get the advent mass as we get to light the advent candles too. The first candle for this week is the candle of hope. Please join us as we celebrate this special time in the church's year.

Eisteddfods are being heard on Monday and Tuesday this week, with the Eisteddfod assembly on Thursday afternoon at 1:30pm. 

Friday - Yes!! Harold is back to visit. We will be spending time with Pip and Harold after play, and again next Monday 9-9:45, then another after play session.
The final school assembly for the year is on Friday at 2pm.

Next Tuesday Mrs Stratford will be teaching all day.

Dates for the calendar:

  • Thursday 14th 6pm Graduation Mass - wear school uniform as we farewell our Year 8 students and celebrate their time with us at school.
  • Friday 15th - picnic lunch and Awards Assembly in the church at 1pm
  • Monday 18th - 2pm Rooms 3 & 7 are hosting an afternoon tea for older parish members, as we take action on this term's "Playing Our Part" in the community. We are designing special invitations this week for writing.
Have a great week - try and "Keep cool, till after school!"
