Week 3, Term 3

Thank you for making sure your children are reading each night. I will make a comment in the homebooks on your child's reading progress each fortnight. Please also include reading of the weekly poem and the word book.
We really want to keep the momentum going in reading.
The best way to improve reading is to read!
Try and make it a time when both adult and child are relaxed and have time to talk about the book.
Ask questions about the pictures, what may happen next, or ask some 'what if' questions.

The children enjoyed their Golden Time on Friday. There were some that missed some of the GT time.
So hopefully this week we will all get equal GT!
Thanks to Renee and Madeleine for coming to help us with our biscuit icing!
See photos below.

Congratulations Jet and Madeleine on your Baptism this weekend!
This is quite apt as we have begun our study on the sacraments.

God Bless.

On Wednesday evening our Whanau Roopu has organised a shared dinner for all of our cultural groups in the school. The dinner is in our hall at 5.30pm and you are all welcome to attend.
 

This week...

We celebrate Mary Mackillop feast day on Friday.
Mary Mackillop has a very special connection to our school. This day starts with a 9:00 am mass-all welcome.
We will be having a shared lunch at 12:30 with a middle school class. So please send a plate for this.
The rest of the day is school wide based activities around this important Saint.

Homework: daily readers, poems, maths activity

Please make sure your children are at school by 8:30 ready to start at 8:45. The class are expected to be sitting on the mat ready by 8:45, so remind them before this to go to the toilet beforehand, thanks.
