Sunday 11th May, 2014
I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather today for Mother’s Day. It was also a great day for the
Alexandra rugby and netball tournament on Saturday. Well done to all those who
competed.
Sacramental Programme
The first Parent meeting for the
Sacramental Programme is next Thursday 22nd May, 7pm, at Father
Pat’s house (that is Week 3 of Term, not this week). Parents and children are
invited to this first session, which introduces the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. If you are intending for your Year 4 child to start the
programme, please note this date in your calendar. We look forward to seeing
you there.
Publishing:
The published stories called ‘Our Life in
Central Otago’ are coming in and they are looking really good as we edit them
and add pictures. Thank you so much for your help with this. Thank you Shannon
for the awesome home movie you showed us about your pet pukeko, we think it
should go to the Solomon Islands too (the movie I mean, not the pukeko!).
Important Dates:
* Swimming skills programme - starting Tuesday
3rd June and ending Friday 4th July.
*Ice Skating, 24th June till 2nd
July.
Camp Dates:
I have pencilled in some dates for the Year
3/4 camp later in the year. The tentative bookings are as follows:
·
Tuesday
2nd-3rd September (overnight): Otakou Marae – Dunedin
·
Wednesday
3rd-4th September (overnight): Dunedin Museum.
There is a lot of information to be
discussed, arrangements to be made, and costings to be sorted – but I thought
we better pencil in dates to make sure something was secured. I will gather all
the necessary information and let you know in due course.
Lost Clothing:
By the end of Term 1 there was a HUGE pile
of clothing and bits and pieces that had accumulated in the Room 4 corridor. At
the beginning of last week, we made a big effort to re-claim all our
belongings, and get them into our bags to take home. Hopefully some of you got
a pleasant surprise to discover that items you thought were lost were just
mislaid! However the jerseys, sweatshirts, plastic containers, and fluorescent
vests have already started to pile up again already – so please encourage the
children to be vigilant with their belongings.
All the best for a great week.
Regards, Markelle Ward. J
