Week 11

This is the final week of Term 2. We have 4 students leaving on Friday to go to the new Remarkables School. We are having a shared lunch on Friday to farewell them. Bring a plate of food to share with the class at 12.15 on Friday.
Homework this week is a time sheet, remember to check your clock at home so you can keep practising telling the time.
Those that did not do spelling sentences last week in your homework book need to complete this by Friday using last weeks words.
Have a wonderful holiday !

Book Parade

Here are some of our masks and book marks we made for homework. What a fantastic effort. The masks have been entered into the Library mask competition. The winners will be announced this week.We all came dressed as a book character for Friday's Book Parade.

Room 17's Interview with Annette Frewen

After we interviewed Annette we made some freeze frames to show what we had learnt about our school 40-50 years ago.
This will be shown in the Arrowtown Museum's "Speaking of Change" Exhibition in July.

Winter Mud

To keep our classroom mud free it would be great if you could bring in some spare slippers or indoor shoes from home that you can leave at school. If you like to play on the field can you have a spare of pants in your bag to change into after lunch.
