Newsletter Term 1 Week 4

Dear Parents/Care givers
Hi there again
Thanks to those of you who came to the "Meet the Teacher" meeting on Wednesday. We talked about Team 7, the timetable and generally some expectations.

Week Three
We had Swimming Sports and Individual triathlon. Many of the Team 7 members took part and did very well. It was great to see children having a go and trying their hardest - this is the most important thing! Stella won two Junior swimming titles and was runner-up i the Junior Championships - amazing! Louis was second in the school Triathlon and won the 9 years boys section in a new school record, beating his brother Max's record! We had a session with some maths students from the University, wrote some goals for Term One, sang a song about "Being Young isn't Easy" and met with our buddies. We had another class meeting and started some Collage art with Mrs Coats.
Week Four
This week we are getting ready for Camp - we will be there this time next week! Maths interchange starts this week and the last of the FPS (Future Problem Solving) trials take place on Monday. We are ALL in the Teams' Triathlon on Tuesday. We have new spelling levels
Notices
A few dates:

• ICAS exam forms tob returned to the office drop box please.
  
• Teams' Triathlon Tuesday 24 February 9.00am-10.30am (ppd 25 Feb.)
• Camp 2-4 March @ Hanmer - any remaining consent/medical forms are due
  

Can children please bring their swimming togs and towel each day (or a note if they are unable to swim).

Physical activity is vital for learning and health. We will do some daily and therefore children need appropriate footwear. If possible could children please bring along an old pair of sports shoes to have in the room by the back door.

I also encourage all children to have a water bottle(for water only) in the classroom. They are also able to eat fresh or dried fruit at anytime throughout the day.

Happy Birthday
Mr N. (24th Feb.)
Class Captain: Ben J
Class Secretary: Georgia

Looking forward to great weather next week at Camp!
Yours sincerely
Paul Norton, the Coach, Team 7 2009
