Newsletter Term Two Week 4

Hi and welcome to Week Four

Nicola Evans is in Team 7 on Monday as I am recovering from probable Chicken Pox - there has been some going round of late and I think I got it in Australia.

This week we are preparing our Learning Reports for the Learning Conferences next week. The children are working hard at showing you where they are learning and their next steps too.

We are looking forward to Friday Sport this week as we are all playing against other schools - in Hockey, Rugby, Football, Netball and Table Tennis. Our boys enjoyed the rugby fun day last week.

The invoices for the term two activity fee went out last week. Just to let you know what the $30 covers: Soap Carving with Mile Kaukau, Elgregoe presentation, Literacy Musical and our Wearable Arts production.

Week Three
Last week we did some great writing on "settings" using similes and adjectives to describe them - do look at this blog below to see the outstanding work and write a comment too!. We started on our oral language sports news presenting unit and we share our Seasons song at Senior Assembly (and were brilliant!). We had more Hockey lessons and chose teams and uniforms and logos and chants for our teams. A number of boys competed in the Rugby Fun Day on Friday.

Week Four
Georgia, Logan and Annabelle will compete in the West Zone Cross Country Champs on Tuesday as it never happened last Thursday. We will continue with our descriptive writing and looking at finding facts in our reading.
