Round up of Term 4 Week 3

Hi All

It was certainly worth getting up early this morning to watch the World Cup Final. What a game!

It was another different Friday with 'Black Out Day' and Jo Earl's final assembly. The children loved going out to Sparks Road and seeing Hoon Hay school line up on the opposite side of the road. They enjoyed cheering and hearing all the car horns beeping. 

Jo Earl's final assembly was lovely. Our Rutherford Team did a wonderful job of performing their farewell song to Jo. Plus it was special seeing Matilda, Sophie and Polly performing for the first time with the school Kapa Haka group. 

On Wednesday and Thursday the children visited the Life Education caravan.

They spent time learning about what their body needs and discussed what a balanced diet looks like.  The Instructor talked to them about  ''Thinking Traffic Lights'.

Thinking Traffic lights

Red - Stop - food that gives energy but different energy ie crazy bonkers energy

Orange - Slow - food that gives energy but don’t need too much

Green - Go, go ,go - food for energy

Sitting quietly around the edges of the caravan.

They met Harold.

This week it is Swimming! Notices have been sent out; in summary 8.50 am at school, in the pool at 9.30 am for 30 minutes. I can appreciate that some children will be feeling anxious about tomorrow but once we are into the swing of things they will really enjoy the next 9 days. 

Many of you have asked about Parent Help, I have just said come down when you can and many hands will be welcomed to get the children changed. 

On Tuesday I will be off site writing reports and Liz Hooker will be in Room 1. 

Thursday is School Photos!! We will probably need combs etc on hand to fix up children's hair after swimming. 

Regards,

Mary
