Room 4 Newsletter: Term 4, Week 5
Sunday 6th
November
Family Mass:
Thank you to the Room 4 children (and
others) who made a special effort to come to Family Mass on Saturday evening.
For the readers, prayers of the faithful, offertory-bearers, money-gatherers,
and singers…. your participation was much appreciated.
Athletics:
Congratulations to all those who took part
in the Central Otago Sports Day last Tuesday. There were many reports of
excellent results, and plenty of excitement and fun too. Mrs Brydges reported
that the picture in last week’s Room 4 newsletter was indeed the correct
posture for the hurdles. The angle is 45 degrees. After our work on angles in
maths last week, your child should be able to tell you exactly what 45 degrees
looks like!
Calendar Art:
Room 4 children have produced a wonderful
piece of art for the Fundraiser Calendars, so I encourage you to get your order
in. An order form came home with each child last week. Ask at the office if you
don’t have one. The theme of Room 4’s art was ‘The Albatross’, a link with reading
we did on albatrosses following camp.
Technology:
Over the next week or two, we will be doing
a Technology project titled ‘Design a new Yoghurt Flavour’. We will establish
criteria around the yoghurt being healthy, tasty, and genuinely ‘original’. If
you have the old-style yoghurt maker floating around home, and could spare it
for a week or two, please name it and send it to school with your child (the plastic jar
with the wider plastic container). Thanks. This project should not involve you
buying anything new or fancy, so please don’t let the children tell you otherwise!
Speech
Eisteddfods:
Speech
Eisteddfods are in Week 9, and it’s never too early to begin your research and
preparation. We will also allow lots of time for this in class.
Important dates coming up:
*Thursday 17th November: Cultural Assembly – 1.30 pm.
*Sacrament of First Holy Communion – Sunday 20th
November.
Have a great week. Markelle J
