Week 9

Another action filled week has been and gone.  We have completed our work for the Digi Awards!  It was an amazing experience for all of us and we know for next time to get onto the project straight away and be more proactive rather than relying on adults.

Room 2 have been doing gymnastics on a Wednesday afternoon.  We are performing floor, box and beam routines.  It was amazing seeing the confidence grow in such a short time.  Ka rawe!

We have soccer training for the Year 4 and 5 girls on Monday (tomorrow) and we have super sports tournament training throughout this week which will be held in week 11 at various venues around Palmerston North.  Well done to those Year 5 and 6 students who made it into a team.  A number of students tried out and the teachers can only have a specific number of students playing so please do not feel disheartened if you did not make it into a team.  If you are a Year 5 you will always have another chance next year!
Summer soccer, cricket and touch rugby teams are also starting soon and this may involve training after school.  Listen to the notices carefully and if you get a permission slip to return to school with registration money, make sure you hand it in on time because some children missed out on playing touch rugby because their forms were in too late.

We are finishing off our narrative writing which we cannot wait to share with you and we have some exciting art pieces to work on for the rest of the term.  We are working really hard in numeracy with applying our knowledge and developing sound strategies through very challenging activities.  Students are completing some very unique ICT pieces of work which will soon be on display later this week.

Next term, we will be having our school Gala.  Room 2 is after small glass jars with lids.  The jars can be as small as baby food jars (they would be the perfect size).  If you know of anyone who has a baby please ask them if they could give you the empty jars.

Have a great second last week to term!
