Dear
Parents and Caregivers 23 November 2015
Wow, what
a term!! The things we have achieved which we couldn’t have done without you!
Photos of Children
Some of
these were used to decorate our classroom calendar. If you would like a copy of
your child’s photos, can you please see me about a convenient time, we can
transfer the file on to a USB stick.
There has
been wonderful progress in the children’s reading through your help and
encouragement each evening. The formal reading programme which has been running
all year will finish at the end of this week, as all the books need to be put
away for the end of term. We will still
be doing work with words and reading each day but not bringing home a regular
home reader. I encourage you to still review the essential sight words that
your child brings home, visit the Hutt Library on a regular basis over the
summer and read with your child.
Letter of this week: Aa
Mana Island
We had such lovely weather and a great group
of parents that offered to come and help.
The kids had a marvellous time and are continuing to learn about animals
and their habitats at school. We have just finished making a papier mache model
and written about our time there. You will be able to see our photos of the
trip and the process on our blog page to be located on our school website.
Sun Smart
Swimming
will begin next week and continue the week after. Our time is 11.20 am – 12.00
pm. Your child will need to have named togs and towel in a named bag. It is
also encouraged that they have goggles so their eyes don’t get sore from the
chlorine. We will be travelling with Room 6 there and back by bus. It is great
to have parent’s help in changing the children. If you can, please let me know.
Assembly Item
This
Friday it is our turn to present an item to the school. We will be joining with
Room 4, Miss Browne’s class, to show what we have been learning in Sign
Language. If we think we have a bit more time available, we will share our
models of Mana Island.
Hutt Library
Once
again we will be walking to the Hutt Library on Thursday. If you would like to
come please let me know. This will be our last time there this year.
