Sea Week Exhibition:
Our Year 4’s are lucky enough to be heading down
to the Community Centre from 9.30 – 10.30 tomorrow morning (Monday) to see the Sea Week
Exhibition. This includes displays, informative videos, short talks and
games. The topics covered will be water
quality, pollution, mudflat and rocky shore habitats. It also includes marine
mammals…. which fits in perfectly with our science this term, yay!
World Day of Prayer Service:
At 10 am on Friday morning, Room 4 will be
joining the choir at the World Day of Prayer Service down at the church. This
is a combined church service and all are welcome to attend.
Clothing and Equipment
Room 4’s pile of clothing and belongings is
getting big again, and things are being left out overnight. There is a box
under the table (blue tablecloth) in the classroom where all clothing is
returned to, so please keep an eye on this if you are missing something.
Thursday
I am away at a Conference in Dunedin on
Thursday. Mrs Lyon will be relieving in Room Four.
Publishing
The publishing continues to come in by
email. I have displayed everything so far in the corridor. Please have a look
if you are around before or after school.
PAT Tests
The Year 4’s had a busy week last week
completing PAT tests for Maths, Reading Comprehension, Reading Vocabulary and
Listening. Year 3’s just had the Listening. Thank you to the children for their
commitment.
Caritas
The visit from Michael Stewart from Caritas
was a good catalyst to get us talking about our fundraising project for 2015
for Room 4. We have agreed that we would like to bake some truffles in class,
and sell them. I will give more details about this closer to the time, as it
will require a small contribution of ingredients from each family.
Have a great week.
