Term 4 Week 8 Certificates

Today we had a liturgy for the Pike River Miners and their families. We lit 29 candles to remind us of the 29 men who died. May their families know God's love, comfort, strength, and peace in their lives.

At assembly today Matthew and David received certificates recognizing their patience and participation in our production practices.
Congratulations, Matthew and David, you have been good role models and we are proud of you.

Term 4 Week 7 - 'Star of the Week'

We have had another hectic week practicing for our production. It is coming along nicely and is going to be a fantastic show. Remember to get your tickets from the school office.
This week Steven has been trying hard to make good choices. Congratulations, Steven, on being the 'Star of the Week'. We are proud of you.

We are beginning to count down to the end of the school year. We have only three more weeks as Year 1s! This coming week will be busy with more practices for our production. Please remember to bring your named costumes to school on Monday.

Term 4 Week 6 - 'Star of the Week'

What a great week we have had - swimming, production practice, and Christ the King day celebrations.
I am very proud of the way Room 13 children have coped with this unusual week; their behaviour has been great and they have all done their best at all events.
However two boys have stood out this week:

Congratulations to Nico and Benj, our 'Stars of the Week'.
Both have been good role models when we have been swimming.
They are also working hard at reading.

Thank you, Nico and Benj, it's great to have you in Room 13.

On Friday evening, while the children were at the disco, I attended my graduation ceremony as a fully registered teacher. I am looking forward to hearing about the disco on Monday.

Next week we will be having daily practices for our production. You can help at home by encouraging your child to learn the songs.

On Tuesday afternoon we will be having a class photo.
Remember to keep those comments coming.

Swimming

This week we have been going swimming each day. We catch the bus to the Wharenui swimming pool then have a half hour lesson in the pool. The instructors are fantastic and everyone is making great progress.
Room 12 also swims with us.
A big thank you must go to the parents, especially the dads, who have helped us.

Wake Up Bear by Room 12

Today we went to Room 12's production. The animals that came first were the lions. The show was called 'Wake Up Bear'. All of the animals tried to wake up the bear but he would still not wake up. Just then a bee buzzed by. The bear woke up. 'Honey!' he shouted. Then he started to skip all around in his cave. Then they sang two songs together.

Today we watched Room 12's production 'Wake Up Bear'. The lions couldn't wake up bear. But the bee woke up bear. My favourite part was the bear.

By David

We went to the production. I like the animals.

By Jason

I am very proud of Room 13 - they were awesome.
A special thanks to the parents and grandparents who came to support us.
