Hard to believe that we are in the 8th week of the term. We have some fantastic board games created, and have been learning about giving and using constructive criticism as we improve the clarity of the instructions written. Tomorrow we will be writing a narrative sample.
It was good to see so many attend mass yesterday and participate by being altar servers, readers, choir and singing. A very scrumptious morning tea afterwards was enjoyed despite the chilly breeze direct from the Antarctic by the feel.
Wednesday afternoon sees us join with the Keeping Alexandra Beautiful Group at 1:30 participating in mulching the plants in the area beside the Rail Trail that St Gerards School looks after. Please wear school tracksuits with plenty of warm uniform clothing underneath. Gumboots, shovels, buckets, gloves so that we can all get stuck in to get the job done. There will be adults from the KAB Group, but parents are welcome to join with us in this venture.
Thursday 2:10 Assembly: this week is our turn to present at assembly. There is a wide range of learning that the class has chosen to share - we are now fine tuning our presentations.
Poetry Eisteddfods: will be heard next Monday morning, with the Eisteddfod assembly on Thursday 4th. Everyone needed to have their poems in their homework books by last Friday - those who did not meet this deadline will need to work hard now, as they have lost 1 of the 5 marks for preparation. A wide variety of poems have been chosen - will be very entertaining.
Religious Education: a worksheet related to our work on the images of God is in the homework books. Please reflect on the 'qualities' that these images tell us about. Father Pat visits our class tomorrow.
Alexandra Library: we will visit on Friday 5th July. I need a couple of parents to walk to and from with us please. A good time to get some reading ready for the holidays.
Morning Programme: Group 3 this week, Simone (Our Country) is leader, Brieanna - music, Levi - How to..., Emma - introducer/current events, Joe - poem, Reuben - book review. What an interesting idea for "How to" last week Will - changing a bike tyre. A very practical demonstration. Well done.
Reading Logs: remember to read a variety of texts and record this in your logs.
Maths: no worksheet this week, but the monthly tables test is next Friday. Use your past sheets to practise recalling the facts quickly. Maths Buddy or Study Ladder also have some practice pages.
