Week 10

Week 10- One more week of school then holidays.

It is Social Justice Week this week and this year we are looking at family poverty and what it would take for all families in Aotearoa New Zealand to flourish. 

Please keep in your prayers those families that are going through some kind of struggle.

The kids have been working so hard this term they have reached a stage where they too are quite exhausted. Please ensure early nights this week. We would like to use this week to finish off incomplete tasks, getting them onto their blogs, and hopefully we will get some time to do some fun stuff too.

Here's what's happening: 

Monday: Pass It bring in your PE Gear 

Tuesday: Pass It
               Winter Sports Day- some Middle school students are attending this.

Wednesday: Social Justice Liturgy. Library 

Friday: Golden Time/ Assembly

Please check out the Calendar Art below if you would like to order this year.

Have a safe and relaxing holiday everyone! Enjoy your break!

Week 9

Room 29's assembly went fabulously.  I was so proud of everyone. Corbin, Michael, Maiah and Molly did a fantastic job making the presentation.  The class decided what were Must Dos and what were Can Dos for assembly.  After they made the presentation we showed it to the class and they critiqued all the slides and gave feedback and ideas for improvement. I was really proud of the respectful way they did this, and the collaboration of having everyone involved.

The presenters, techies,  readers, the rappers and the singers all did a fantastic job. My what a talented group of students we have.  I was impressed how everyone worked together, preparing, practising and performing.

Week 8 -- Amazing Millie and her friends - Kakapo Ambassadors

Save the Kakapo
 

 Welcome to Week 8. I am very proud of Millie and her friends who went to the markets on Saturday to raise money to help Save the Kakapo. She raised $150 . What a great effort.  Thanks to all the people who helped Millie achieve this.

Hopefully, the students have told you about some changes in Room 14 and 15. In line with our plans for future learning in a Flexible Learning Space we have started to combine our learning. This means that Room 14 and Room 15 will be doing some, or a lot of their learning together. The children can move throughout the shared space and can mix with students from both classes.  We hope that this will make the learning better for the students,  they will also have 2 teachers to get help from.

On Thursday we are very lucky to have a visit from the NZ Royal Ballet. In the morning there will be a presentation for the whole school, and then they are running 2 workshops for some very lucky Year 4, 5 and 6 students. The numbers are limited, so unfortunately only a few students will be able to attend from each class.  I will prioritise students who already learn Ballet, but we are also keen for some boys to attend.

We will be presenting assembly this week on Friday. Friday is also a Mufti day- gold coin donation please.
