Looking forward to seeing you all.

I hope you all received the reading and the note regarding the way the conference will run.

IMPORTANT: On Tuesday the Y7/8’s will NOT go home at  1:00pm but due to the C.O. Triathlon and staffing those children NOT involved in the triathlon WILL finish at 1:00pm on Wednesday.

The Ginger Beer experiment is proving interesting to say the least. Not sure what it will taste like!!

This week Mr Ellis is teaching on Thursday as I am released to do maths testing with individual children.
He has an interesting day planned.

We were lucky enough to secure a dance workshop with members from the Royal NZ Ballet -coinciding with their tour here of "Pinocchio". This workshop is optional and a separate notice was sent home.

We are also starting to prepare for the Student Led Conferences  - a small note was sent home where you can write any goals you wish for your child if you have any specific requirements. The Y7/8 conferences will look different this year. Keep an eye out for extra information.

Hi Everyone!!

This week we have the C.O. Swimming Sports being held in Cromwell on Wednesday - Good Luck to all those competing.

Congratulations to  the children from R4 who made it onto the Council - Emma, Molly, Etta, Ally, Talia,Shannon and Grace.

Homework - Keep up the great work on Mathletics this week - Some girls have already received a bronze certificate!!   Go! GO!! Go!!!

Keep up the reading in bed - not one certificate has gone out yet  (need to get to 5 books at your level)- Reminder to have filled out your RIB-IT chart with parent comment / signature for February. Please get these in this week. Reading in bed is reading for pleasure - when you can get really stuck into a book and not be distracted.

The great Ginger Beer challenge is starting this week -We are going to get our 'bugs' started'! Does anyone have some muslin / cheesecloth we could have? Enough to cover 10 jars is all. Any hobby gardeners out there with spare ginger?

We have been working on where to place an apostrophe - contraction and possession. See if you can find examples in everyday surroundings - shop windows, advertising, menus etc

Triathlon is coming up so some serious contenders may want to start training for this in their own time.

Answer to last weeks puzzle - I have 6 colours and millions of combinations -  Rubik's Cube!!
