We have started back into Term 4 with some fun and full on activites.  Athletic coaching has begun so please ensure children have their sports shoes on a Tuesday and Thursday.   We have had Book Week this week and ended with book character dress up day........who was the 'big bad wolf'?    What a wonderful effort the children made.   Please check our calendar for upcoming events.   The children are on their final stages of completing their Green Homework tasks.....keep up the good work......and get them signed off.  Thanks Mrs Vernon.

Congratulations Dylan

Congratulations to Dylan for having his named pulled out of the lucky dip box for having  brought back his sponsor form.  He did so well in the quiz -  "So well done Dylan!"

Mrs Vernon back.

I have had a fabulous time overseas seeing and learning new things. We have visited many places and seen many things.  It has certainly made us realise although there are many beautiful places in the world there are also many poor countries where life is very hard especially for the children.  We are so lucky to be in New Zealand.  On a personal note we have come back to our daughters news of engagement and sadly Grandad Vernon passed away last week.  Ecclesiates 3:1-4 really sums up that there is "A Time for Everything" and this is the theme for our class liturgy on Wednesday.  Its been great catching up with all that has been going on in Room 5.  Please dont hesitate to see me if you have any concerns or questions.  Thanks Bev Vernon

News update

Room 5 has been busy making Photo Stories on the computer about Camp Experiences. These will soon be put on a DVD for family and friends to enjoy. We have been working hard at our multiplication and division. Learning about the Water Cycle has been fun. We tried to make a cloud in class but this was unsuccessful, however we did make some rain. School Mass had a great Room 5 turn out. Mrs Vernon is going overseas to see relatives and to explore some new places. Mr Wright is looking forward to relieving our wonderful class. Holidays are looming up for everyone along with the winter weather. Children have been busy and some school supplies such as pencils, pens, glue and books need to be replaced. Thank you to parents for their support.

Today is St Patricks Day

St Patrick was born in England. His real name was Maewyn Succat. When he was 16 he was captured by pirates and he was taken to Ireland. He was a slave in Ireland and had to look after sheep and pigs. He prayed a lot every day. He escaped Ireland after 6 years and went to France. He got really hungry so he prayed for food and some pigs appeared for him to eat. He became a Priest and then a Bishop. He returned to Ireland and taught people about God. He used a shamrock to teach about the father, son and holy spirit. St Partick was 74 when he died on 17th March.
