Week 9

Week 9

Our final week.  I am so proud of how far the children have come this term.  They are a neat bunch of kids and have all settled into school really nicely. I hope they have enjoyed their first term at St Mary’s School.  I wish them all the best for Year 1 next year.

This week is going to be fairly busy.  Mr Macmillan would like to remind everyone that school magazines are able to be purchased for $5.  There are a limited number of these printed each year, so once they are sold, that’s it.

Swimming  Although it is not our swimming week, bring your togs in case the sprinklers are on during lunchtime.  We will have the sprinklers on after lunch on Wednesday to cool off after our athletics.  The children will need their togs on Thursday for the tryathlon.

The week ahead:

Monday 11th Dec:  

9:45 Principal’s Morning Tea.  It was a very hard choice to just choose only three students.  The children who will be going are Mckenzie, Nate and Freyja.

11.15am -Christmas on the Field Concert - all welcome.  All classes will be singing a Christmas song.  Room 9 and 10 will be singing He Has a Red Red Coat and Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney.  If your child has a Santa Hat they are welcome to bring it along.  Don’t worry if they don’t 😊.

Tuesday 12th December: 

9am Prize giving.  You would have received a note on Friday with your class placements if your child is receiving a prize.  It was SO hard to choose just five children for the various awards.  Everyone has tried really hard this term, and I am proud of you all.

Wednesday 13 December:

9:30 – 10:00 Meet the Teacher.  The children will meet their teacher for next year and get to see who else will be in their class.

11:15 am Junior School Athletics Day  - If your child has a PE uniform, that is great, otherwise please bring shorts and a t-shirt.  Please put sunblock on your child before school and it would be a good idea to bring a rash shirt if you have one, for our fun with the sprinklers in the afternoon.

End of year shared Christmas lunch - Wednesday Can each child please send a small plate of food to share for this.

Thursday 14th December: 

1:30 pm. Junior Tryathlon  (the middle and senior school will be having their tryathlon in the middle block).  Junior children will swim 1 width of pool, scooter or cycle 1 lap of astroturf and run once around the field.  Children will need to bring their own scooter or bike.  Once again please put sunblock on your child before school and it would be a good idea to bring a rash shirt if you have one.

Friday 15th December: Missioning of Year 6 students, SCHOOL FINISHES AT 12.00PM  If you require your children to be in after school care, please contact Mary-Ann Roling on 021 121 5599 to book in.
