Room 4 Newsletter: Term 4, Week 7

Sunday 20th November
First Holy Communion
Congratulations to those who received their First Holy Communion at Mass this morning, to their extended families for their support, and to the wider parish family for  their prayers and support. Thank you also to those who contributed morning tea. The children looked amazing, and were delighted with their special morning tea celebration afterwards. They have now completed the Sacramental Programme, and we wish them all God’s blessings as they continue their faith journey.
Certificates:
Certificates for those who received First Holy Communion will be given out at Whole School Prayer on Monday morning.


Yoghurt-Design Competition:
Thank you to Lisa Reilly for agreeing to come in last Thursday to judge our Yoghurt-Design competition. The children did really well to create original, healthy and yummy flavours, considering that the plain natural-flavour yoghurt that we made as a baseline was quite bitter.
Most original: Keira and Zaria
Most healthy: Jacqui, Rhianna and Angus
Most yummy: Tadhg and Frans
Congratulations to these winners, and well done everyone.
We all got to enjoy the tasting afterwards, and Tadhg’s and Frans’s yoghurt was judged the yummiest in the peer-assessment as well!

Speech Eisteddfods:  Guidelines for Presenting/Speaking:
  • Speak clearly so the audience can hear all that is said.
  • Use expression in your voice.
  • Pause for effect.
  • Use pictures or props to add interest.
  • Make eye contact with the audience.
Please note there is an A4-page Criteria sheet for Speech Eisteddfods in the student’s homework clear files this week.

9th December:  Bike Excursion – Rooms 3 & 4
Hopefully you received a notice about this from the children last week. We are planning a bike ride along the Rail Trail as part of our LEOTC programme for 2016. We have scheduled this for Friday 9th December. For this Rail Trail event we require ten parents to accompany us. Please email me asap:  markelleward@stgerards.school.nz  if you are available to join us.


Have a great week. Markelle J
