T4 Weekly 5

Dear Parents,
It was fabulous to see so many of our Room 2 parents in the audience at our assembly presentation on Friday. I know many of you made special work arrangements to be able to attend and the children just beamed when you arrived! They worked so hard on their dance, learning new steps, keeping in time and working as a group to choreograph the final sequence. It was wonderful to see them up on stage under the spotlights and everything coming together beautifully.

Congratulations Room 2 you did an amazing job and Im so very proud of you!!

Today we head off on the bus for our Athletics Day. We have had many many opportunities to develop our skills in long jump, high jump, throwing, sprinting and relay racing. It’s been great to see so many children approaching new activities with a “Can Do!” attitude. We have also been fortunate to have both Miss Crofskey’s specialised instruction and outside expertise from Jane Kiely who has represented New Zealand in long jump on many occasions.
This week is also our final week of assessments in the lead up to report writing. I have been really impressed with the improvement in Reading in the past few months, particularly in their comprehension and knowledge of what to do when it doesn’t make sense or I don’t know a word. Keep up the great reading support at home, together we are making great progress. A big thank-you as well to our Mums who have been assisting with spelling. Your time is greatly appreciated.
Have a super week! If you have additional photos of our assembly please email them in and don’t forget to vote on our online global travel poll!!
