Cross country - Wednesday

Our school country will be held on Wednesday 10 August with a save day of Friday 12 August. Students have been training hard for this last term and will continue to do so until the big event! We hope you can join us to encourage the children on as they run.

Our year 0-3 students will start at 9:20am and the races will go in year level order (girls, then boys). We hope to have the prize giving for our juniors at 10:45.

Our year 4-8 students will start at 11am and will race in year level order (girls, then boys). The day should conclude by 1pm and we will hold the prize giving in the hall either straight after the races or else after lunch at 2pm, depending on time.

Children should wear their house colours on the day. Shoes for our senior students are now compulsory due to a change of rules at ECCS level. For our juniors, it is optional depending on each individual's running preference.

There will be baps and sausages available for parents and grandparents and spectators to purchase throughout the morning.

There will be baps and sausages available for children to purchase only after all the races are completed - for juniors this will be after the prize giving and for seniors at lunchtime.

Bookweek

Dear parents

Room 10 have had a busy week buddy reading with different classes. They have been learning about Margaret Mahy and reading her stories.

The book parade was a huge success and all the children looked amazing. Thank you for all your effort and hard work at home.

The best bunch by far!

Happy Feet

Dear parents

We have finally come to the end of this terms inquiry unit. (Living things share the world and affect each others lives).
The children have really enjoyed learning about various living things (especially animals). They have learnt many interesting facts about certain animals for example their habitats, what they eat, their predators and most importantly the responsibilities we have as humans, to share and look after their environment.
The children have enjoyed investigating and writing reports about their animals. It is pleasing to see how many have investigated further at home and have made their own amazing posters. Thank you for encouraging them to do so.

We will be ending off this unit by watching the movie "Happy Feet" today.

Home learning

Dear family and whanau,

This week at school we are learning to estimate the size of a metre. Ask your child to identify and record the items in your home that they estimate to be around 1 metre in length. Then encourage children to use their personal benchmark to check and see if it is indeed around 1 metre in length.

Please ensure that your child is reading daily with you at home. If your children are learning ring words make these a priority. Encourage a love for reading as this will help them with every aspect of their learning at school. Ensure too that they are learning their spellings as they are tested every Friday.

Happy home learning

Mrs Löser
