Newsletter Term One Week 10

Dear Parents/Care givers
Hi there and welcome to the last (short) week of Term One. A HUG welcome to NATSUKO who joined Team 7 last week and who has recently moved from Japan. The big event for this week is the School Cross Country on Wednesday (or Thursday if wet) afternoon. The children have been training hard for this and we had some excellent runs at the practice last week.

The ESOL rooms are officially opened on Tuesday also and Michelle and Yoo-kyung are involved in this as well as the Kapa Haka group.

Moss did well at the swimming last week to claim 11th fastest 9 year old backstroker in Canterbury, but unfortunately only 10 made the final. Sam B was in the winning A Teeball team on Friday and we had the most of any senior class make it into our North West Choir. Congratulations to: Theresa, Grace, Xiaoling, Xiling, Cille, Jessica, Rachel, Amelia, Annabelle, Stella and Amine.

Have a great Easter and holiday break. I look forward to seeing the children ready for a full term of learning again on Monday 27 April.

Week Nine
Last week we visited the Canterbury Museum on Tuesday and were fascinated by the epic stories of Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton (and Worsley) and we were thrilled to see lots of info. about old boy Frank Worsley. We took the Senior Assembly on Friday and shred our stunning collage portraits artwork and sang a song called "Jammin' in our town" . Well done to Amelia and Yoo-Kyung for speaking. We changed adjectives into Adverbs, ordered decimals to three places and ran in the "Relay of Death".
Week Ten
This week we have the Cross Country on Wednesday, another class meeting, sing a song about the "United Nations" that are in Team 7 and continue to look at the Worsley story and qualities of heroes. We also have our second spelling levels test to see if the children can go up a level.
