Get out the dog shampoo - Pet Day is next Friday 8th November. Full information will be in next week's newsletter.
Next week you will "Design A Pet" and draw a cartoon character of it. Think about why people have pets and what abilities and uses your pet will have, then get sketching. As a group you are amazingly creative, so what you come up with may well be mind boggling.
"Designer Pets" will be on display at the Pet Show.

All Souls Day Liturgy
On Monday 4th the whole school will be taking part in a liturgy at the cemetery to recognise All Souls Day (which is 2nd November).
Please bring a jacket in case it is cooler and some flowers to place on the graves. Many people will be able to find graves of family members or people they knew. It would be great to have some parents walk to and from the cemetery with us. We will be leaving the school after lunch at 1:15.

Fair Sunday 3rd November
Thank you so much to Dale, Kath, Maria and Lisa who have been in the classroom over the last couple of weeks helping with our wheat bags and Christmas decorations. Our efforts are absolutely amazing.
Setting up our stall will take place from 8:30 on Sunday, so that we are all done before mass at 9am. We will be sharing a trestle with Room 3, but we will operate as 2 separate stalls. Many people have indicated that they will help with the selling. We'll sort a roster on Sunday so that everyone can do some selling & also head off round the stalls and activities.
Kapahaka Group: please meet me and your leaders outside Room 4 by 10:20. You need to be lined up ready to walk onto the stage by 10:25. Songs are Haere Mai, E Toru Nga Mea and the National Anthem with the haka. A great practice with Ms Tamati today - you have really stepped up into the leadership role. Thank you.
Once again great efforts with posters, crafts and stepping up to provide entertainment - thanks Keila & Celia for organising this for Mrs Eastwood this week and to everyone who is willing to give a performance a go.

Week 2 Term 4
What a fantastic afternoon's entertainment at the Lauren Ross Fundraising Concert yesterday. Congratulations to those people in the school choir who entertained at this event - you were amazing - very proud of you.
A reminder that this weekend is Labour Weekend and that there is Teacher's Only Day on Tuesday 29th.
Softball/Teeball: the starting date for the competition is now not tomorrow, but next Tuesday 29th. If you are available to play for your team could you please let Mrs Maria Williams know. Unfortunate that the starting date has been postponed to our Teachers Only Day.
Thursday Night Touch: Thank you to the parents who have indicated their willingness to assist with this - I'm sure that where a parent is unavailable that between you, team responsibilities will be covered. A team note went home today, please check that you have seen it. Be sure that you meet your team manager at Pioneer Park this Thursday at 5:20pm. Team uniform is the school sports uniform - tee shirt and black shorts. Play hard, play fair - encourage each other to improve skills.
Thank you to those people who have returned their PTA Raffle cards by the due date. Please get these into the office as soon as possible as the PTA members are working flat out at present, and chasing up raffle cards is just that one extra task.
Recycled Outfits: I know of only 1 entry from our class. It is not too late to get with a mate or a mum/dad and do something crafty.
School Athletic Sports: starts 9:30am Thursday 31st October. I have 4 offers of help to assist at this, a few more would be most appreciated.

Wow Night
We hope to see as many
of you as possible tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 6:30pm. Bring your fish n
chips or your choice of food.
We decided up the hill
that it would be great for everyone to get to share the wonderful learning that
we all did at Coronet Peak. Some people had the opportunity to share the
time with us on the mountain so now is the time for you all to see and hear
about our EOTC.
There will be a variety
of learning shared and some wonderfully skilled "techy" students are
now working on putting as much work as possible onto one powerpoint, so that
work can be viewed on the whiteboard.
The students also want
to present to you their findings from the statistical investigations they did
as to whether this trial camp should be one confirmed onto the school two year
EOTC cycle. I'm sure that you all probably can predict what the outcome
of this was.
Looking forward to
seeing as many of you as possible - siblings are welcome.
