Week 3 Newsletter

Dear Parents and Caregivers

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend – a mixed bag of weather, but that’s Christchurch isn’t it!

Everyone will have received their invitation to the Room 3 Playdate on Saturday 8 November. Thanks goes to Abby for organising this fun get together. It would be great to see everyone there.

Thank you to this week’s writing helpers. It’s lovely to see more additions to the roster. Three or more helpers each day would be ideal, so please don’t be put off if someone’s name is already in a slot – the more the merrier!

In lieu of the Beach Ed trip, Sarah Wraight (Rm 10 teacher) and I are planning a fun, water-themed day for the children of Rooms 3 and 10, at school, whilst the rest of the team are away. We will keep you posted as we finalise the details.

Please continue to send the children to school in comfortable running shoes on Tuesdays and Fridays as we continue our Athletics practises.

The School Monster Fair on November 22 is nearly upon us. Could you please let me know if you are willing and able to give an hour or so of your time to help out at our class fizzy drinks stall. I will need the help of about six people to help with the setting up, running and packing down on the day.

Have you checked out our ‘herbalicious’ garden of potted herbs and veges yet! They seem to be flourishing thus far, under the watchful eye of the children.

I have now completed reviewing Learning Goals with those children whose review dates were set for the end of Term 3 or start of Term 4. Please ask me before or after school if you’d like to see the results. Some children require further time to work on specific aspects of their goals, so it would be great to be able to share this information with you.

We had a lot of fun today making our Halloween biscuits. Thank you to our lovely helpers for their invaluable assistance.

If you’re anything like my family, the social calendar seems to significantly ramp up in the countdown to Christmas. It is great to be able to make the most of the warmer days and extended daylight hours, and the smell of BBQs wafting over the fence is a sure sign of Summer being right around the corner. Have a great weekend.

Kind regards

Cara Wallace
