Term 3 Week 2 Notices



I’m sure your children have told you all about their first Omni gym session today. We had a wonderful time despite the very wet journey over. Many thanks to the wonderful parents who took time off work to take us over to the gym. Have a look at the video I took of one of our warm up session.



Lucky Book Club. If you would like to place an order please send the money to the classroom by Friday 3rd August. Cheques to be made payable to Havelock North Primary.

Discovery Learning continues this Friday. Are any of you handy with a hammer and saw? I would like to get the carpentry benches out starting Friday 3rd August but really need help with supervision at the work benches and the teaching of sawing and hammering skills. If you are able to (or could volunteer someone to) help out on a Friday between 11:20 and 12:30 please let me know.

Term 3 Week 1 News



Welcome back to Term 3. Its great to see the children so exciting and keen to be back, we have certainly hit the ground running!

This week we will be looking back at our holidays, and investigating temperature in maths. If you have any holiday photos (of exciting places you may have been, or even just snaps taken around the house) please could you send some in. The children are going to create their holiday memories digitally. Photos can be emailed or brought in on paper or a memory stick – whatever is easiest. If you don’t have a holiday photo don’t worry – some of our digital tools don’t need photos.

We will also be looking at the Olympics in more detail especially the New Zealand team and the sports in which they will be completing. We are very fortunate to have been given Black Sticks booklets (Thank you Damon) so we can follow their progress throughout the games.

Thank you for sorting out the stationery requirements so promptly. Its much easier in class when everyone has the pens and pencils they need at hand.

Omni gym starts next week. A separate newsletter will come out soon with more details.

Lucky Book Club will be coming home again this week. If you would like to place an order please send the money to the classroom by Friday 3rd August. Cheques to be made payable to Havelock North Primary.

Discovery Learning starts again this Friday so there is no project homework this week. Homework books will be back in action by the end of the week.
