Week 8 Term 3 2022

Time seems to be slipping past at an alarming rate! How did we get to week 8? The kids of Room 14 are amazing. They are still showing up with happy faces and are still jumping into every activity we can throw at them... but, we're a bit tired so are a little sensitive at times. Please, remember your water bottle each day. Staying hydrated really helps with our learning and our moods. We have 3 very busy and exciting weeks ahead. Stay informed - check the blogs and newsletters so you don't miss out.

This Week

Mon:  Library

Tue:

Wed: Chess and Lawn Bowls lunchtime clubs, Kapa Haka

Thur:

Fri: Mini Marathon, Pasifika

Our Learning:

Literacy: we are using our reading books and poetry writing to build our vocabulary.  If you come across any new and interesting words, feel free to share them with us. We are going to have a word (or 2) of the day - our challenge will be to use the word of the day when speaking or in our writing. 

Mathematics: We are continuing to learn our basic facts (times tables, 100, 10s and 1s, basic addition/subtraction, counting...) and we will be using known facts to solve some word problems.

RE: We are learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how we can use these gifts to bring a little bit of God into the world.

Operation Christmas Child.

Room 14 has a shoebox which we will pack with different gifts, prayers, and letters. This will be sent to a child across the world who would not normally receive a gift on Christmas Day. Your child may wish to put a little something special into the box. Look at  “Operation Christmas Child Videos 2022” which has some inspiring videos and ideas. We are going to gift our Christmas box to an 8-9year old boy.

Little Red Rocking Hood                                                                    We are getting pretty excited now.  We have set aside a little space for costumes. Please, make sure everything is named and that they are in a bag that is also clearly named. Thanks, heaps!

Get behind the school and help us reach our goal.  This is replacing the Gala Day this year.

How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email or text) and let the fundraising begin.  The children can offer to do a chore, help in some way to exchange for sponsorship.  The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collect stickers, earn badges and see the leader board.

Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form. 

WIN  JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS

The class who has the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.  

Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday 20 September.
