It will be September this week and it's hard to believe that we only have four weeks left of this term and that daylight saving is just around the corner.
The production items look fabulous already and the children are starting to get excited about their roles. We have working bees this Thursday and Friday morning so please come along to room 3 where Mrs Cody or myself will show you how we want the ears and tails to be made. We are also adding a symbol to the T shirts so these will need to be cut out and hot glued on. Thank you to those parents who have already sent along the costumes for their child to their classroom. If you have not, could you please do so by this Wednesday?
The Junior School item will be on first in the production and each child needs to be at school for all four performances. With our youngest children on stage first they can then go straight home to bed. Next week I will let you know which class we want your child to be brought to and collected from straight after each performance. We will also let you know what time they need to be at school to get ready and what time they need to be collected.
Last Wednesday evening our school was host to the 'Literacy Bus' Tour. We had over fifty teachers from throughout the Wellington area visit our classrooms to observe what we have been doing in the areas of literacy, ICT, Inquiry and mathematics. They were very impressed with what they saw and made many positive comments about the lovely children's work on display. Many of them also want to come back and observe lessons in action.
Daffodil Day
Some of our senior students organised the 'Daffodil Day' appeal last Friday. If your child missed out and would like to purchase a daffodil this week they may still do so for a gold coin donation. Please come to the school foyer for this.
This week
The Life Education programme will finish later on this week. The children now have an understanding of what a balanced diet is and the importance of eating a variety of foods from each group of the food pyramid.
Sandra Blair and myself will be attending a course entitled 'Supporting Speech Sound Development in Schools' after school on Tuesday.
Our 'Starting School at five' evening for parents of preschoolers will be this Wednesday September 1st at 7 p.m. in the school staffroom.
Working bees for production costumes as mentioned above will be on Thursday and Friday morning.
On Friday morning Miss Jones and myself will be going to Wellington to a special seminar where we will listen to Dr Barbara Watson speaking. She is an internationally renowned expert and will be sharing her expertise with us in the latest trends in literacy teaching and learning.
On Friday afternoon we will also be having our Full School Assembly. We will be saying farewell to Mrs Drinkwater during this assembly.
Have a great week.
Kind regards
Maureen Buckley
Deputy Principal
