Dear Parents and
Caregivers
The teachers and
children have enjoyed a fantastic first week back for Term 4. We welcomed Monty
to Team Star on Wednesday. Please visit our class blog to review all the fun
and learning that’s been going on this past week: www.room82015stalbans.blogspot.co.nz
This week we will
continue working on our Folk Dancing in preparation for our Grandparents’ Day
and Folk Dancing Display on Thursday 29 October. Thank you to those families
who have let us know numbers attending this event, it promises to be a lovely
morning.
We began
practising our Athletics skills on Thursday afternoon. This will continue in
the lead up to our Junior School Athletic Sports. It would be great if the
children could wear appropriate footwear please (i.e. running shoes), to
support our daily Physical Education programme.
On Tuesday
morning the children will be attending a show starring Craig Smith of ‘Wonky
Donkey’ fame. Craig will be sharing his latest work and providing an hour of
entertainment for the children. We will be going over to the hall at 9am for a
9.05am start, so please be at school on time on Tuesday.
The children’s
Calendar Art work is now in a Room 8 folder in the school office. Should you
wish to order a calendar, diary, notepad or pack of gift cards, please place
your order at the office before this coming Friday. The theme of the children’s
art is ‘My Family’. (This does not apply to Miss Young’s children.)
We will continue
to explore fractions in maths this week. The children are now familiar with
halves and quarters and we will continue to explore these concepts through a
variety of hands-on activities. It would be great if you could do some fun
fraction-based activities at home to support your child’s learning. Have a look
at our blog for some ideas.

Monday 26 October - Labour Day (no school)
Thursday 29
October – Grandparents’ Day/Folk Dancing Display
Friday 30 October

week!
Kind regards
