Thank you all for your kind messages after my mother's death.
Congratulations Will - a third place in the Otago Championship Cross Country Year 5 Boys in Dunedin on Friday - you put your heart into your training and have shown that you have been "Going For Gold"! A well deserved achievement.
The Button Box:
The musical is really taking shape, great singing, dancing and acting as we all came together today. Tomorrow is the dress rehearsal for the kindies and our Tuesday grandparents, so colourful will also be a word when we are all in costume. Thank you all for sourcing the clothing that each child needs.
Performance Nights:
Room 4 will take their costumes home after the dress rehearsal and need to come to school dressed in costume. We will meet in our classroom at 5:30pm each night. Mrs Eastwood will be there on Thursday night to supervise Room 4 prior to the show. The audience each need a ticket, which can be collected from the office - don't leave it too late to do this, as no ticket means no seat - don't be disappointed. A box for the gold coin donations will be at the door of the hall.
The audience needs to be seated by 5:50pm, so that the show can start at 6pm. We need to keep to these times as Tim, Hannah and Ella also have final rehearsals for the town musical "Rush". Good luck for next week Ella.
Athletics:
On Thursday afternoon we will be starting the rotations of athletic practice in preparation for the school athletics competition which will be in the second week of term 4, Wednesday 24th October. We will be looking for helpers for this event. School sports uniform of black shorts and school t-shirt will be needed each day for these activities.
Assembly this Friday:
We will farewell Bailey at this assembly and the Cross Country Certificates will be presented.
Room 4 Outdoor Education:
Last term the staff completed the review of "camps"and outdoor education. Next term Room 4 will be riding on the Rail Trail and staying away 2 nights as part of this. The tentative dates are Tuesday 13 - Thursday 15th November. This activity replaces what was the Dunedin Camp. If you are able to help for part or all of this time I would be happy to hear from you. In the meantime cycle fitness needs to be something that you get started on so that you will enjoy this experience.
Maths Buddy:
Mr Hogue has managed to get a fantastic deal for those people who would like to continue to use the maths buddy site. A note went home today, please send yours back by Thursday so that we can action this offer. This site is excellent as it has great tutorials as well as practice activities. I recommend that as many as possible continue, as the subscription will last until 31 January next year.
