Term 1, Week 3

Room 4 Newsletter:  Term 1, Week 3

Sunday 14th February, 2016

Happy Valentines Day!
Thank you to those who attended and participated in our Opening School Mass this morning.  It was great to see so many families and extended family there.

Important dates coming up:
*Wednesday 17th February – ‘Meet the Teacher’ evening beginning with a BYO tea at 5.30 pm.
*Thursday 18th February – Swimming Sports (morning). Check School Newsletter for details.
*Thursday 18th February, 1.30 pm – NZ Playhouse Performance.
*Friday Mass this week at 12 noon led by Room 4.

Homework Publishing:
A photocopy of your child’s ‘holiday recount’ writing will come home in their Homework clearfiles. This is for them to publish on the computer, and it can then be emailed in to me. If your child has some good keyboarding skills, then they can type up as much of their story as they like. If your child has limited keyboarding skills, then they can just type up 4-5 lines of their favourite bit of their story, and email that in. Publishing is an excellent skill, but 20-30 minutes of typing is more than enough until they are more confident.
If anyone does not have access to a computer, iPad or email, please let me know.

Swimming Sports – Thursday 18th February
·      The race programme will be in the office by Wednesday 17th at 9 am. If you have any questions or concerns about the events your child is entering, please advise me as soon as possible so they can be ironed out before the programme is printed.

·      All students are to be at the pool by 9 am in their house colours. Please make sure that your child has two towels, water, and a big morning tea.

9 – 10 am: Championship & non-championship full length races.

10:15 – 10:30 am - break for morning tea.
10:15– 11 am - Junior school and ‘half length’ races. (These may start at 10 am depending on senior events).
