Newsletter Term Two Week 9

Hi and welcome to Week Nine

This week we have 11 children involved in the Northwest Music Festival at Burnside High on Tuesday - the most of any class at FOS. The choir sounds fantastic and are a credit to themselves, the school and to Miss Alley who takes them. All the best for Tuesday evening!

Rachel and Jessica will represent the school at the Primary Sports Canterbury Artistic Gym championships on Monday - all the best girls, you have been practising very hard.

Annabelle had a great run at the Primary Sports Canterbury Cross Country last week and took 12th place in a field of 100 9 year old girls. This makes her a reserve for the Primary Sports Canterbury Cross Country team to run in Nelson in Term 3. She also helped the West Zone team to a Bronze in the teams' event. Logan came 68th in a very competitive 9 years boys race.

Children need their PE gear on Monday and Thursday for the CGHS Football lessons.

Next Tuesday is a mufti day and all Dads and boys need to get a ticket from the office for the Breakfast with the Boys ($5).

Week Eight
Lat week we started a unit on Football taken by CGHS Senior PE students - children need their PE gear and shoes Monday and Thursday this week. We stated some Science experiments looking at the qualities of different types of materials, looked at using metaphor in writing and started some narratives. We continued with our Printing Unit and sang a song about a "Rugger".

Week Nine
We are looking forward to planning our Wearable Arts creations and to more science experiments looking at the qualities of materials. We will work on our board games with our buddy class on Wednesday as well have some more books "sold" to us. We will look at silent letters in spelling and sing our "Rugger" song at the Senior Assembly on Friday.
