Week 5

An early blog this week as I am away on leave tomorrow and Monday.  Miss Bennington will be in Room 7 on Friday and then the children not going to athletics will join Mrs Weild in Room 5 on Monday.

The countdown is now on for camp.  Thanks to everyone for getting their permission slips in and to those parents who came to our meeting last evening. See below for the camp programme.

It has been another busy week and I can't believe that we have almost completed 5 weeks.  The last of our PAT testing has been done so I now have reading, spelling and maths groups sorted.

Mrs Sharpin was teaching Room 7 on Monday and mentioned what a wonderful class they were - it's always great to hear positive feedback from other teachers.

Good luck to those children who are competing at the SO Athletics on Monday!

Week 4

Week 4

We were very lucky with the weather today and everyone competed with enthusiasm during our Athletic Day.  Well done to everyone.  There were some great performances but also a lot of encouragement and support of others.  A huge thank you to all Room 7 who were amazing helpers to me this morning and this afternoon setting up and putting away all the equipment.  You are all a pleasure to work with and you made my job so much easier today.

This week we also got across to South Otago High School for some more athletics.  We played a fantastic new game called Multi Sport which the children loved.

We also did some PAT reading testing and will continue with maths next week.

Thank you to all parents who have returned permission/medical slips for camp.  These are now due.  A camp meeting will take place on Wednesday 5pm - please note the change of time.

Week 3

Well, another week down!  It has been another busy week in Room 7.  The children were excited to have their first session at technology.  We were at the High School again on Thursday participating in a range sports which were organised by some Year 13s.  The children had a great time and can't wait until their next session. We have even managed to get some reading, writing and maths underway this week!

Next week we will appoint the school council members and on Wednesday everyone will compete in our School Athletics Day.  Thanks to the parents who have offered to help on this day.  Thanks also for the much improved turnout of sun hats and correct sports uniforms.
