Week 1 Term 3 2022

Welcome back Room 14 CREW

The holidays went pretty quickly, didn't they? Time really does zoom by so quickly - my baby turns 17 today! Im not sure how that happened. It doesn't seem that long ago that she was going to Pre School classes and now she's all grown up and I'm feeling every one of my 122 years of age.

OK, Team - are you ready for Term 3?  It's going to be so much fun! This term we are putting together our fabulous school production - Little Red Rocking Hood. Room 14 will steal the show I'm sure - so much talent and enthusiasm. 

Welcome back James and Mrs D. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your Canadian family but your St Marys family are happy to have you home again.

Room 14 have some new people this term. Lily is officially joining our class this term. Lily's mum is starting work with St Marys so Lily has had a little bit of time to get to know us already. Welcome to the CREW, Lily.

We also have Ellie McLanachan joining us for the term. Ellie is studying education at Waikato University and is spending the term working in Room 14. Miss McLanachan is pretty awesome - so she'll fit right in with the most awesome team in the school.  

You will have received Mr Macmillans letter about covid protocols. We will continue to wear masks, sanitise regularly, use our airpurifier and natural ventilation to keep ourselves healthy. We do have masks available for kids who forget or break/lose their own masks. 

We have a trip in week 2!!! This will be either Tuesday 2nd August or Thursday 4th August between 12:15 and 2:30. Mrs D and I need to flip a coin to see which class goes when and I'll flick out a message asap. We need at least 5-6 parents to help us out or we have to cancel. 

Conferences are also in week 2 (Mrs D and Mrs T are going to need another holiday by week 3). Here are the booking instructions - most of you have plenty of experience with this and know the drill but don't hesitate to let us know if you are having trouble. Part of our conference discussion will revolve around the school values and how well the childen display these. Parents, students and teachers will all have a say. Are you familiar with the school values?
