Wow – once again the term is flying by….
We missed our Library session last week due to
the short week. We went today and most children got out a new book. If they didn’t,
because they still have one at home, don’t forget to send it in next Monday.
Lucky Book club is out again. If you would
like to order please send the money to the classroom by next Friday (September
7th)
This week sees the start of our new Music
Rotation. I have teamed up with Mrs Jarvis, Mrs O’Loughlin and Mrs Strand and
the children will have one session with each teacher. Children will have an opportunity
to experience a different aspect of music and dance each week.
We also start sewing this week. Thank you for
the offers of help. If you have sent in your slip of paper I will contact you
directly. If not, and you would like to help, just turn up on Friday at about
11:30. The more the merrier (and easier for all of us!)
We have had a very busy art day today. We have
been practising our sewing skills ready for Friday and have been putting
together our calendar artwork. We have also drawn and decorated dragonflies
today – as inspiration for our sewing. Meg took some lovely pictures of us
doing our work – look out for it on the blog.
Congratulations go to Greta and Isabella whose
photographs were chosen to represent Room 4 in the photography competition held
as part of the Magpie Cluster ICT Expo next week. The expo is to be help on Thursday 6th September 2012 at the
Havelock North Community Centre from 10am - 6pm. Some children from Room 4 will
be attending and running workshops. Permission slips for this event will be
coming home this week. The purpose of the Expo is to celebrate the e-learning
that has occurred during the past three years that HNP have been part of the
Magpie ICT Cluster. The Magpie Cluster consists of six local schools (Te Mata
Primary, Parkvale, Mahora, Mayfair and Frimley).
Children from HNP will be visiting the
expo during the afternoon. We would encourage you, your family and friends to
come along and participate in this event to support our school, as this is an
opportunity for you to see what e-learning looks like in the classroom.
Hope to see you there!
Have a lovely week
Karen
