Week 8 Term 1

What super weather for the outdoors again at the weekend. Hope this weather can be a little kind and stay a bit longer for our Year 5 & 6 students who are biking on the Rail Trail.

What great ideas people had for their leprechaun traps last week. 

Not sure how many were caught on St Patrick's Day. We will be thinking about how successful our designs were this week. All great designers have to problem solve and many of us had to do that on Friday, as what looked good on paper just wouldn't stand up the way it was meant to. Thank you parents for all the bits and pieces that were collected for this activity.

Monday saw us attend a "Magician Show"- it certainly was amazing as we watched birds appear and disappear, then the final act was Charlie lying 'suspended in space'.  We are all still wondering how this was done. 

 The message of this "You've Got The Power" show, was related to values. A magical ladder, that came out of a flat suitcase, ended with 5 words hung from it. Respect. Helpful, Responsibility, Trustworthy, Caring. All this was presented amongst everything that was expected of a magician.

We are really getting the hang of ukulele with Baz on Friday mornings. I think you'll agree we look the part now and we are sounding really good as well - both our playing and singing.

Scripture Reading Eisteddfod is coming up. Now is the time to think about a Bible story that you enjoy, and prepare a few verses to read. Check out the separate post about this. Just reminder that this year your eisteddfod needs to be a Bible reading not a prayer. You do not need to learn this off by heart. There is a class Bible story book with many suitable texts, or you could choose to read a small part of a favourite story from the Bible the PTA gave to you. Please do not attempt to read the whole story. Please ask Mrs Stratford or myself for help in finding something by the end of next week, if you can't find something at home. The more prepared you are the easier it is on the day.

Wednesday - netball players wear sports uniform. There will be the opportunity to have some coaching from 11:15 till 11:45 with the Southern Steel players. Thank you Sophie Johns for remembering your old school and offering this opportunity.

Assembly 2:10 lead by Room 2 & Room 6

Fridge Words: selfish, dainty, addition, subtraction

Reading: every night please. There are still some people who do not have reading folders. If you have lost yours, Chrissy has some for sale in the office.

Morning Programme: check the planner that you have.

Study Ladder: keep working on the tasks set by Mrs Stratford.

Looking forward to a week that has fewer interruptions.

Apologies for the state of the photos - too many sticky fingers on my phone - next ones should be much clearer!
