Week 9 Notice

Week 9....

*It is getting very close to the end of the term when Portfolio's and Reports will go home.  Please ensure your child is at school every day unless they are legitimately unwell.  We will be completing some assessments over the next two weeks and it is very difficult to go back and catch up when kids are away.  Please if you still have your child's Portfolio at home, could you return it on Monday.

*This week is Maverick's last week with us.  He will be moving to Auckland with his parents.  I am sure everyone will join with me in wishing him and his family all the very best.  We will miss you Mav.

*On Thursday afternoon we have a visiting musical group from Australia.  The children will (hopefully) be enchanted by some lovely music from 1:30pm.

*This week our Activ Board projector stopped working so we could not watch the movie.  Instead we played balloon pop in the hall which was awesome fun.  The boys won the first round and the girls, (with some help from me) came back in the second round.  I took some cool photos and will post them on the blog.  This week we will be baking for Golden Time.

*This week is Matariki.  We have a Liturgy planned for Tuesday at 10 am and there is a coloring competition for the kids.  We will also be learning about Marariki in class this week.  Also to celebrate Matariki, there will be a cultural dinner in the hall from 5:30pm on Wednesday 28th June. All families are invited to attend and bring a plate of food to share.

*All children in Room 13 will bring home their report on Friday 7th July.  Some will be Anniversary Reports (after two years at school) and some will be Interim reports (after 18 months and 30 months at school).  If you have any concerns about how your child is progressing, please email me so that we can meet to discuss this.  I am very pleased with how the children are working at school and will discuss what they are currently able to do and what their next steps will be, in their reports.

Have a great week
Annie
