Term 2 Week 2

On Friday we had not only Benedict mufti but the fundraiser for Nepal. At Assembly we found out that between our school and Hoon Hay school we raised just over $1000.00 dollars.

This was the Wishing Well where we put in our money and prayers. It was on the border of our school and Hoon Hay. It was also beside the  memorial tree that we planted with Hoon Hay school just after the earthquakes.

Last term the children were bringing money to put into our Lenten money box. We raised $62.50 for Caritas. We were the 2nd highest in the school!

This week in Art the children were creating rainbows.

 

 On Friday we were invited by Room 5 to join them for prayers. Afterwards the children worked in pairs to write a prayer for the people in Nepal.

This coming week is busy....On Monday we have Miss Kathryn Hurst a Grad student from Teachers College joining us for the next seven weeks. This is her first placement and she will be working under my supervision. I know that you will give her a big welcome. She is pretty nervous!

Wednesday; is  Cross Country this Wednesday @ Halswell Quarry. I do not know the exact time yet that our children will be running. As its a Wednesday Liz Hooker will be taking the class down. I will be already there as am going early to help set up. The children need to wear their house colour shirt, green shorts and track pants etc to keep warm. They will also take down their morning tea. For ease of transport can their morning tea be in a named plastic bag. No school uniform that day.

Thursday afternoon; Winter sport begins for the Seniors. I will be going down with them to take a netball team. Our DP Mrs Amanda Campbell will take Room 1 for these Thursdays. 

Friday;Room 1 attends Mass. The children need to come to school in their school uniform. Mass is at 9.15 am. All welcome.
