Room 4 Newsletter: Term 3, Week 8
Sunday 6th September 2015
SKI CAMP
Wow!! Your children were
amazing at camp. There we were, facing the blizzard, sliding on our skis, freezing
conditions ….. and they just kept going and going. No complaining, total
commitment, a huge adventure! Thank you so much to all the camp parents
including John, Aaron, and Lindsay. It took every bit of all of our time and
energy to keep everything going smoothly … there was no time for sitting round
drinking cups of tea! A big thank you to Sam, Haines, Ben, Vaughan, Camille,
Tracy, Maria, Helen, Mark and Rob. A special thank you to Miss Passmore for
giving up her own class for two days to join us. Everyone worked very hard and
it was certainly a team effort. We could not have done it without each and
every adult – well done.

Assembly:
This Friday our school
assembly will be led by Room 4. We will share an iMovie that I am putting
together with all the photos and video we took at camp. If any parents still have
photos they would like to contribute to this, please get them to me asap as it
takes a bit of time to sort. We will also share some writing and songs. You are
most welcome to join us if possible.
PAT Tests:
We will be completing PAT
tests in class next week (Week 9). This will involve Maths, Reading
Comprehension, Reading Vocabulary, and Listening Comprehension for the Year
4’s, and Listening Comprehension for the Year 3’s. Access to this data will be through regular school reports.
Confirmation:
The children on the
Sacramental Programme are currently choosing a Saints name for Confirmation.
You can support them by researching the saint or name they are interested in
and making sure they have some connection with their saint. We will also
discuss options for this in class and at Sunday liturgy. I am also organising Prayer
partner cards with parishioners.
Speech Eisteddfods:
The criteria for Speech
Eisteddfods will come home in homework clear files for Room 4, and in bags for
Room 3. Please support your child in the preparation and practise of their
eisteddfods as the last three weeks of term will be very busy. The sooner the
speech is ready, the more practise time I can make available in class. Some are
very keen and well under way already.
Regards, Markelle Ward J
