Describe a cricket skill you learnt last week?

Hi everyone

This week we have cricket traning every day. Please make sure you have your P.E gear and running shoes, even if it's raining!

We also have PAT testing - 1 test for Year 3 & 3 tests for Year 4. Please be patient during the testing, thank you.

Problem solving: it's really important to learn the skills of problem solving when you have conflict with others.

If you have a problem try to sort it out yourself by telling the other person respectfully what is bothering you and asking them to stop it.  I love to see when people are thoughtful and respectful to others and can sort out their own problems!

Have a great week E Ruma Waru!

BLOG HOMEWORK:  

What is a learning goal you have for yourself this term?

It's the last week of school and our seniors are away at camp. We wish them an exciting and successful time! While they are away our Year 4s are the school leaders. Make sure you reflect this responsibility in your speech and behaviour. I know you can all be great role models for the younger children!

Have a great last week

It is getting very hot so it would be a good idea to bring your PE gear and get changed at playtime when we have PE.

Thank you to everyone who has returned their camp notices. If you haven't completed it yet please do so this week, thank you.

Have a good week everyone and remember what Pope Francis said...

‘None of us can live without love.’ Pope Francis

Hooray! Mrs Riceman, Mr Nairn and I have started planning our Term 4 camp. We will be going to a camp called Omatua in Rissington. It is about 20 minutes drive into the hills behind Taradale and it's a cool place to stay!

Today you took home your camp permission slips. Please ask your parents to fill them out and send them back to school quickly.

Kids, please bring your P.E gear to school every day. With the weather at the moment we might need to sneak in PE lessons when we can and as the field is soft and damp your PE gear will keep you cleaner!

If you are going to the inter-school cross country please ensure you have returned your permission slip. There are a few still to come in.

On Sunday we have a school Mass. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at St Mary's on Sunday!

Have a good week, Room 8!

This week is Cross Country week...We have been training very hard all term and I know you have all increased your fitness and have a good idea about how to run a cross country race! Try to remember not to speed off too fast at the beginning. It is a long race so you will need to exercise self-control to overcome your excitement and nerves.

REMINDERS:

1. Wear House Colours
2. Wear running shoes - NO BARE FEET ALLOWED
3. Wear warm clothes over the top
4. Pack snacks, a waterbottle and lunch

AT SCHOOL:  

1. Empty out the stuff you don't need in your school bag
2. Take your food and drink
   
3. Be ready to leave after prayers - we are WALKING to ANDERSON PARK

BLOG HOMEWORK:

BLOG HOMEWORK: What was your favourite piece of art and why?

Tena Koe Tamariki Ma and Whanau

We've had a very wet weekend...fingers crossed the sun comes out for us soon.

We will be continuing with cross country training this week, weather permitting. Please bring your P.E and running shoes daily as the weather changes throughout the day. If you can't run you MUST have a note.

On Friday we will be celebrating our Feast Day, which fell in the holidays. A letter will come home about this but the general outline is:

• Grandparents morning - starting with prayers at 9am and finishing with morning tea at 10:30. Please bring a small plate to share
• Art and Wheels
• Pizza lunch provided (and possibly fish & chips too!)
• Assembly

Invite your Grandparent or a special older person to spend the morning with you. If you don't have a Grandparent you can share with someone else.

EQUIPMENT: Please check you have 2-3 good quality pencils for the term and a pencil sharpener that holds its own sharpenings. My emergency pencils have all but gone which means there are around 20 in kids desks!! Remember to name all your stuff.

Have a great week, everyone!

BLOG HOMEWORK:  Tell your parents why we are having a grandparent day to celebrate our classroom saint.

I'm so proud of your hard work in art week...your pieces are looking stunning! We have a bit of finishing to do over the next week or so, so that we're ready for the exhibition in Week 4.

This week we are back to our normal routine so please be ready to work hard and show your best classroom manners. Please also bring your running shoes. You will need a note if you can't run.

We have a new virtue focus - COMPASSION.  Jesus valued compassion and showed it many times when he helped those in need. 

Your blog homework is to say where compassion might be seen in your life.

Have a good week
