Week 10, last week of Term 3 coming up!
Important Dates:
*Monday 22nd
September: Mercy Day Mass 11am – 12 noon. Some Room 4 children will be doing a
role play of the Good Samaritan as part of this Mass. St. John’s School from
Ranfurly are visiting us at St. Gerard’s for a good part of the day, to jointly
celebrate Mercy Day.
*Speech Eisteddfod Assembly:
1.30 pm this Thursday 25th September. Class speeches will take place
on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Great work everyone, from what I’ve been seeing
and hearing the children are really working well on these.
*Athletics Rotations
continue this week – 2 pm Tuesday and Thursday. Track pants and gym shoes
please.
School Production –
Costumes
Mrs Flannery has asked
that children now be organised with their costumes for the show as there will
be a dress rehearsal this week. Room 3 and 4 children are playing the part of
those attending the Palace Ball. They will therefore need a costume suitable
for being at a ball. I would like to stress that no-one is required to make or
buy anything. If you have dress-ups or bridesmaid dresses or anything in the
cupboard resembling a flouncy skirt (girls) or suit pants (boys) then this is
the sort of thing they need. School winter trousers would do for the boys, with
a tidy shirt and (a home-made) bow-tie. Lots of colour and “fluff and flounce”
for the girls, including hair ribbon etc would be great. If you don’t have any
of this, then a skirt or dress (as long as possible) would do. Black school
shoes for the boys is fine, and any tidy dress shoes for the girls, so long as
they fit properly as there is a lot of movement around the stage. The emphasis
is on fun and drama, so I hope the costume side of things is not too big a
stress.
Book Return
Please get the children to
round up all classroom books and journals and return them urgently this week.
There are also a number of overdue school library books, and missing town
library books. No reading books will come home this week to make the job a bit
easier!
Publishing
Only a handful of Cross
country stories were published and emailed in to me. These were printed,
laminated and put on the wall. Please keep these coming in, it’s great
keyboarding practise for the kids and it gets their writing displayed for
everyone to share.
Camp Photos
I am gathering in all the
camp photos from the adults that came with us, and I will put all these
together in an iMovie over the holidays.
Reports
All remaining Year 3
reports will be completed in the holidays and delivered to you in the first week
of Term 4. Parent interviews will follow in Weeks 3-4.
