Week 7   Term 4

We had our ERO visit last week, and all the children in the class that were approached by the reviewers were able to articulate exactly what they were doing and what they were learning and why.
So well done children!

This Friday for GOLDEN TIME we are making mini pizzas. Mrs MaCashin sent home a request for $3 to cover the cost of this. It is not too late if you wish to order your apron and hat and spatula bring in $3 on Monday and you may make several orders for friends and  family if you wish. 
Shanelle will be in on Friday to make the pizzas with the class. YUMMY!!

Again a big THANKS to all our helpful parents and grandparents. Many of you have stepped forward to help with resources, reading, sausage sizzle, sorting papers, helping out at swimming time, tidy up etc..I do appreciate it, I know you are all super busy too so thank you:-)
Thanks Bruce, Maria, Kelly,  Briar, Renee, Shanelle, Ross, Rebecca and also all the parents who helped with the class trip Api, Glenys, Delicia, Malvin (and the next one coming up!!) 

Just a heads up, Chloes mum Kelly has kindly offered to host a Christmas Party at her house for Room 10. (you are brave Kelly!)

YEY!

The children will be able to have a swim there and something to eat! 
Chloes' granddad has offered to cater for us....spoilt!
Date to be confirmed, but with the production and junior picnic and end of year mass coming up, I was thinking of week 8.
I have checked with Mr MacMillian and he said it sounds great. 
So a note will go home soon, we will need parent helpers for this, to walk to Kelly's house, supervise and walk back with the class.

This week I will do some final testing of reading and maths.
 I know your children have made some great progress which is fantastic. We still need to keep up the reading and word lists till the end of term:-)
The writing also is looking great (and ERO remarked on their great work too for their time at school)
Library is Monday all books due back for stocktake.

Ross (Xavier's dad) has offered to do some art with us, which is fantastic as he is a remarkable art teacher at Western Heights High School:-) 
Needed: Can you bring in some egg cartons, shoe boxes, and if you happen to have one we need a large box (tv size) would be useful.

Have a super week,

Bernie
