Our Term 4 Learning
RE: We are learning about what it means to belong to our Church family
Literacy: We are looking at narratives (more accounts of events than Once upon a time)
Maths: We're exploring some statistics and measurement and having a really good review of number knowledge and strategies to cement our earning before the holidays
Reminders:
We are in summer uniform this term. Yes, the mornings can be a little chilly but don't be tempted to layer your children up. The days are getting quite warm, we are running around a lot AND our classroom is thermally heated (we had windows open mid-winter - it's really warm). Our Uniform Shop is open Mondays (8.30-9.00am), Wednesdays (2.30-3.00pm) & Fridays (8.30-9.00am) during term time. The girls’ summer dresses are currently only available from our school uniform shop. Please don’t forget children need to wear the school sun hats in term 4.
We are swimming this term. Our swimming days are in even weeks. Yes, we will start swimming next week. Again, the pool is heated to a gorgeous temperature and we go back to a cosy classroom. Bring your togs - it's much nicer in the water than in the cold beside the pool.
Term 4 seems to see kids getting more hungry and thirsty than any other time of the year. Talk to your kid about the fuel they need for learning and make sure they have their water bottle with them. Water bottles are allowed in class during the day - it's so important for health, wellbeing and learning to stay hydrated.
Colour Fun Run
It is the final week to get sponsors. Please continue in getting sponsors. If you haven’t made a profile yet, there is still time. We can keep going right to Friday and then the fun will begin. https://schoolfundraising.co.nz/ After the event the children will be able to order their prizes online. Orders need to be done by 31 October.
The organisation of the Day
The Colour Run is finally upon us!!
The students have done an AMAZING job fundraising and it is now in the final week for getting sponsors. The colour run will take place this Friday afternoon the 21st of October starting at 1.30 pm
Students must wear old clothes for the run…they will be covered in coloured chalk by the end of it! (Rest assured it does wash out). Please send a change of clothes and a towel as there will be a water activity. They cannot use their sports uniform or their school uniform when taking part.
We invite you all to come along and watch the fun unfold!
If you would like to be a parent helper on the day please let Brigitte Holmes know.
brigitteh@stmarysrotorua.school.nz or text 0272121206.
The PTA helpers will be about but we will need more hands to help with safety, please volunteer if you can.
ATHLETICS FOR YEARS 4 TO 6.
