Kia ora Koutou,
we are rapidly approaching the end of the school year and many events are taking place or will soon be taking place.
Room 4 has been singing the birthday song to a lot of new 6 year olds these last two to three months and all of these children have had their 6 Year Net (a standardised literary test for all NZ 6 year olds), so if you can make time with me to take a look- if you haven't already- please do!
We have been attending regular singing and performance practises these last two weeks and today we will have a full run-through with the children from 9.10.
Our celebration takes place from 4pm this Thursday and students will be required to return to school in uniform and roll will be taken in their classroom while families make their way to the hall to grab the best seats!
Our senior students are also performing on that night, from 7pm and today (I think!) our students have been invited to the dress rehearsal for Twelfth Night after lunch.
We are continuing to have fairly normal lessons for reading , writing and math although things are being interrupted at various times so this week will be our last week of formal guided reading lessons, and the home learning this week will be spelling (Essential Spelling Lists) and the highlighted words are the ones your child can already spell. Take time through the week, when you can find it, to do just a few words with your child. Thank you!
Report writing is almost complete, and second drafts go to Sandy Hastings today.
Class lists for next year continue to be finalised and I believe students will know there class for next year by week 9.
On a personal note, my dear 94 year old nana, Georgina suffered a significant stroke on Friday and my family are gathering at this time to reflect on her long life, so a sad and reflective time for me and my family which may mean I am away from school at sometime, but I will let you all know in advance if I can.
Arohanui, Amber Donovan
