Week 9 Term 3

What a great day we have had today, Mercy Day Liturgy, painting, swimming and the hockey tournament was fantastic - thank you Mrs Flannery.  It was awesome to see so much encouragement and also to see Room 4 step up as leaders for the junior house teams until the Room 6 leaders arrived from swimming.  Well done to you all - a wonderful way to celebrate Mercy Day

A busy last week for us.

Camp Surveys: if anyone still has theirs at home could you please return these as soon as possible so that groups can work on graphing the findings ready to report to you at our Wow night early next term.  It would be great to have this work completed this week, although there is just so much going on.

Round The Clock Race - Friday  night.  Team notices went home today.  Please meet Mrs Williams at 4:45pm at the Linger & Die.  You are representing the school, so full school sports uniform including tracksuit needs to be worn.  Be sure that you have sturdy runners.  The race is to the number 6 on the clock and back.  Please have sports uniform and runners at school each day this week as Mrs Williams will take a lunch time practice if there is time.  For those of us not running - we need to be there to cheer our teams on! 

Float: we are at the stage of painting our bugs - they are looking super and will add small detail to the amazing float put together by the junior staff and a committed group of parents. We deserve to win, so if you are purchasing any of the 'special tickets' - 5 for $20 available now - please give the vote part to Mrs Williams - this saves trying to get to the right bucket on the day before voting closes.

Everyone got their free ride ticket today which I see is valid for Saturday only. If you are not going to be at the park perhaps someone else could use this.  On this flyer there is also the opportunity to win a $100 Paper Plus book voucher for the school. If you are not going to be at the park, I am happy to take yours to put into the draw - the more that go in the more chances we have at winning.

Eisteddfod Speeches: were of a very high standard.  Well done everyone.  The Eisteddfod assembly is at 1:30 on Thursday in the hall. Those representing Room 4 are: Celia, Joshua, Reuben, Molly, Brieanna, Adrianna with Padraig being the reserve.

A huge Thank You to all the parents who have helped Room 4 this term - Ski Camp fundraisers, parents who organised the food  for the camp, parents who skied with the kids, winter sports team coaches and a special thank you to the parents who have provided transport to and from the pool.  Without you all we would not have been able to achieve so much.

Have a great holiday.  We start the term with athletics training for the sports which are on Thursday 31st October - the Central Otago event on Wednesday 6th November.  Please have your sports uniform at school every day for the first 2 weeks of term 4.
