Patrick Panda - This term the junior school is learning
about symbols. We will be looking at the
use of symbols and what information they give us. To help us learn more about symbols, our
class travel buddy, Patrick Panda, will be going home with a different child in
our class each night. Patrick has
recently visited Egypt and is curious about the symbols he has seen there. If Patrick comes to your house, please help
him find some symbols around your home that he can share with the class. Nicely ask Mum or Dad to write in Patrick’s
journal, explaining why the symbols are important.
Patrick spent the
day with me on Saturday at Mount Maunganui.
We had fun searching for symbols around the Mount.
Sunhats – Sunhats are compulsory this term. From this week on, if a child doesn’t have a
sunhat, they will need to sit in the shade by the office steps. I must say that I’m pretty impressed with the
way the children in Room 9 have been looking after their belongings so
far. Keep it up 😊
Swimming – We will be swimming this week. Yay. I
know the children have been looking forward to going to the pool. We are fortunate that our pool is heated to
lovely 30 degrees. Our usual swimming
time is 2:00. On Wednesday we will be
swimming at 12:00 so that we are able to spend the afternoon with our pre-school
visitors.
A note from Mr Macmillan Next weekend we are have a working bee at
our school. We have a number of jobs on our list ranging from handy-man jobs,
spreading cushionfall under the senior playground, maintenance on the senior
playground, replacing rotten palings on our boundary fences, repairing the tops
of our garden plots, putting up the shade cloth and I am sure there will be
plenty more jobs to do. Come along and meet other parents, enjoy a morning tea
and a delicious lunch. Children are welcome also. For catering purposes please
let the office know if you can assist, even if it is for an hour or two.
Teacher aide – We are very fortunate to have Courtney in our
room Monday - Thursday from 8:45 – 10:30 to support with literacy. Courtney is completing her teacher training
this year.
P.T.A. Sausage Sizzle –
Each Friday children are able
to order a sausage as well as a juicy.
Orders are taken in the classroom on Friday morning. Sausages with bread
and sauce are $1.50. Juices are also
$1.50
See you all tomorrow. I am looking forward to another fun filled week.
