Term 2 Week 2 'Star of the Week'

This week's 'Star of the Week' is Nicholas.

Ka pai, Nicholas, it's great to have you in Room 5.

Congratulations to Roisin for gaining her first Silver Mathletics certificate. Keep up the good work.

This week is going to be busy with lots of different things planned. Today we held an ANZAC Liturgy. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we are having a Library Road Show presentation in the morning and after lunch Leah will be holding a dance workshop for us. Girls, please bring shorts to wear for this. On Thursday we will have our first session with Ms C, who has taken Ms O'L's place. Please bring your recorders. And on Friday we have a School Assembly at 12md in the hall.

This week we will continue with the ANZAC theme. In Religious Education we begin learning about the Holy Spirit with our focus being on the Fruits of the Spirit. Next week we start our Writing Focus and the topic for the rest of the term - Marae Protocol. We will fit in some reading and maths as well.

Thank you for your continued support with your child's learning - it does make such a difference.

Here's an ANZAC Poem - we wrote this together:

ANZAC Poem

The bugle wakes the soldiers in the morning

ANZAC Day is to remember the people who didn’t come back from war

Poppies are red, they remind us of the soldiers’ blood

We wear poppies when we go to the parades to show we
         remember those who died in wars

Brave soldiers are awarded medals

Medals are worn at the dawn parade
