Hi everybody,
What a great week back at school after our camp. Here are a few reminders for this week:
- I really enjoyed reading your camp books over the weekend, and am looking forward to receiving the 10 that weren't handed in on Monday
- This week's homework is your spelling words and some research on your street name or your suburb...more info in class on Monday
- Our last swimming session is Monday this week, and the swimming sports is on Friday at Moana Pool...parents you are most welcome to come and watch.
- We now have enough parent help for our trip to the Otago Settlers' Museum next Tuesday (thanks!) and more detailed information will come home to parent helpers in the next few days.
Have a great week!

Red and Black Mufti Day
Today our school raised over $600 for the Canterbury earthquake relief fund by having a red and black mufti day. We've also added more than $200 to this fund through a coin trail and a competition to see who could guess the correct amount of lollies in a jar at the school office. Room 10 looked fantastic in their red and black outfits today - a very impressive effort!

Week 5, Term 3
Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed your auction goodies from camp on Friday, and have had a relaxing weekend after our HUGE week 4! Well done to everyone who made a contribution towards Red Cross earthquake relief last week too.
This week it's swimming again on Monday and all music lessons are now underway too. Our last swimming session is on Monday next week, before the swimming sports on Friday the 11th of March.
Your homework this week is your spelling words, as well as finishing off your camp book for me to read on Friday.
Have a great week,
Mrs F

Camp Waihola 2011
We had a fabulous 2 nights away at Waihola with Room 11, despite the terrible weather! We were shocked to come back to news of the Christchurch earthquake though, and hope everyone we know is ok.
Monday involved initiative challenges in teams, and the Top Team challenge.
Day 2 was spent yachting and raft-building down at the lake. We also went on the flying fox.
Night time activities involved quizzes, games, sleeping soldiers and spotlight before bed.
We couldn't have done it without all of the fabulous parents who gave up their precious time to help us - thank you!
Here are some of the photos taken over the 3 days:

Powhiri
Last Friday the year 7's were officially welcomed to the school as part of a school pohwiri. All our singing practice paid off when we did a great job supporting our speakers. Here are some photos of the powhiri:
Stay tuned for some camp news and photos too...

UKULELE LESSONS
Today we had the first of our four ukulele lessons with Justine Pierre. Most of us had learned ukulele before so we had a quick recap before practicing chords C, F and G7. Here are some photos of our first lesson...

Week 3, Term 1
Another busy week coming up room 10!
SWIMMING on Monday, same time as last week. Hopefully everyone remembers their togs like last week!
As well as continuing with the routines we started last week, this week is all about getting ready for our CAMP next week. We still desperately need some more parents for camp...I have 3 for Monday, 2 for Monday night, 3 for Tuesday, 2 for Tuesday night and 3 for Wednesday. At least 1 more on each of the days and nights would be fabulous if any parents are able to spare some of their precious time. We now have enough transport for Monday and Wednesday thank you.
HOMEWORK this week involves doing some research for our NZ history timeline. You can use some of the helpful websites suggested on our blog to help you research the topic you are given. Remember to let me know early in the week if you need me to give you paper to present your research on.
Have a great week,
Mrs F

Week 2, Term 1
Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed this weekend's fantastic weather!
Well done for the fantastic first impressions you made last week - make sure you keep up the great effort this week as we start getting into our classroom routines.
Here are some reminders for this week:
- Monday: swimming at Moana Pool. We'll be walking to the pool at 1pm in time to start our lessons at 1:30...please bring $3.30 if you haven't already paid.
- Wednesday: Meet the Teacher evening. We'll start in the hall at 6:30pm, then your parents can come and meet me in our classroom.
- Friday: your homework is due. This week it's your introducing book that we started in class last Friday. Try to add some photos and lots of colour to make yours look original and interesting.
Congratulations to Meg who was last week's "Star"...I'll be looking out for people to hand raffle tickets to this week. Well done also to Angus who got last week's assembly certificate.
Have a great week,
Mrs F :)
