X Country

Dear Families

We are getting ready for our x country that will be held this Friday in the afternoon. All the information that you need is in our weekly school newsletter.  I am giving some extra support here to add to the details in the newsletter. 


House colour

Your child belongs to a 'House'.  Here are the houses as displayed in Room 7...




The book mark that is in your child's Celebration Book tonight is your child's house colour. On Friday, your child will come to school in the normal uniform and then change into running shoes, PE shorts ( boys, the same shorts are fine) and a house colour t shirt. Other ideas to show the house colour if a t-shirt can't be found are: Hair ribbons, make a wrist band ( cardboard should hold for the day) or get an old t-shirt, turn it inside out and get creative with some paint ! 


Where are we running?

We run in the Rawhiti Domain just next to our school. Let's hope fror another beautiful day like this! The focus on Friday is fun and trying something new. Parents, bring comfortable shoes.... there might be a chance for you to enjoy some fun with your  child/children too!

Learning about the Saints

  Dear Familes To start term 4, we will learn about Mary. Please share this waiata with your wonderful ako.  Hail Mary, Gentle Woman Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen. Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star, so strong and bright, gentle Mother, peaceful dove, teach us wisdom; teach us love. You were chosen by the Father; you were chosen for the Son. You were chosen from all women and for woman, shining one. Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star, so strong and bright, gentle Mother, peaceful dove, teach us wisdom; teach us love. Blessed are you among women, blest in turn all women, too. Blessed they with peaceful spirits. Blessed they with gentle hearts. Carey Landry

We Remember Holy Thursday

Image
 Tomorrow is Holy Thursday and the last day of a wonderful term.  To support the children in their learning, we tried to imagine what it would have been like at the Last Supper. We investigated what plates would have been like in the time of Jesus. The plates would have been made out of clay. They might have had patterns pressed into the rim area.  We made our own plates and created patterns on our plates. We broke bread and shared it with out friends.  Tomorrow we will start the day at Mass. Then we will try some food from the time of Jesus.  Jesus told his friends at the Last Supper that everything would be ok. He told them that at first they would be sad ( on Good Friday ) but on Easter Sunday their hearts would lift and sing with JOY.  May we all feel  joy on  Easter Sunday. God bless  Mrs Tyro   Making our plates.   Our plates on the wall.   Scripture to support our learning.
