Gemma's Certificate

At the school assembly on Monday Gemma received a certificate for reading. Gemma has been working hard at her reading and has made great progress. 

Congratulations, Gemma, we are proud of your achievement.

Quiz Night

On Friday our parents went to the Quiz Night. It was held in the hall and Room 13. Emily's parents' team won the best dressed prize. They were dressed in Tui gear. Nico's parents' team came third. Mr B was in that team too.

In the photo you can see the Hula Girls. They are the Mums of: Zac, Molly, Bailey and Flynn, Gemma, Hannah, and Alannah. Hannah's Mum's friend lent them the costumes. They looked stunning.

Junior Mass

Today the Junior Syndicate attended 9am Mass at Christ the King Church.
I was very proud of all the Room 13 children who attended.
Thank you, parents, for your support today.

Bailey read a psalm ...













... and Gemma said a Prayer of the Faithful.







Thank you, girls, you both read clearly.

Week 6 Star of the Week

Our 'Star of the Week' for Week 6 is MinSeo.

MinSeo is a quiet worker who focuses on what she is meant to be doing. She is also a good role model.

Thank you, MinSeo, it's great to have you in Room 13.

School Assembly

On Monday Emily received a certificate at the school assembly.

Emily's certificate was for Maths. Emily is working hard at maths and is able to quickly recall basic facts to ten. Well done Emily, we are proud of you.

Emily is now working on basic facts to 20.
Look at how she can work out addition problems.

Star of the Week for Week 5

David is the 'Star of the Week' for Week 5.

David has worked hard all week to stay focused on what he is meant to be doing. 

He is a great role model showing us how to sit on the mat. He settles to his work quickly and quietly.

David, it's great to have you in Room 13, we are proud of you.

On Friday we did some problem solving. We had to work in groups to sort teddy bears. We each read a clue then put the right coloured bear in the right place in the line. Some of us found it a bit tricky, but we managed to solve the problem in the end. 

Reminders:
*Library day is Monday - please bring library books back on Monday
*Poetry books go home on Fridays for weekend reading. These books need to be brought back to school on Monday so the new poem can be glued in.
*Some children's white board markers are becoming very sad - they either have squashed nibs or are running out. It would be a great help if you could purchase a new white board pen for your child.
*We are still keen to obtain old t-shirts for art shirts.
*Fair news: this week we will be collecting mystery bottles. These can be placed in the black bin in Room 13. Any other fair items can also be placed in this bin.
Thanks for all your support with life in Room 13 - we do appreciate it.
