Coming Up This Week

We had two great days to start 2013.  It was great to meet everyone and we had fun together.  So good to have everyone keen and prepared to start the new year.  Most people had their sunhats too.  This week we are aiming for 100% sunhats.

Coming up this week....

On Monday morning we are starting our athletics rotation.  This week we are learning to throw a shot put safely and with distance.

Please ask your child to wear appropriate sports shoes so they can throw the shot safely (and not risk dropping it on their toes).  As a syndicate we are learning about the different athletics disciplines together at 9am on the field.  It should be fun!

On Wednesday we have library at 11.45.  This is our first visit of the year so everyone should come home with a new book to read and share.  Also on Wednesday we are having our first syndicate assembly.  I am really looking forward to this.

On Thursday the kids will meet Mrs McVicar.  She is coming in on a Thursday to teach our class.  She knows lots of the children already as she has spent many a day at Discovery School.  We are all looking forward to welcoming her to our class each Thursday.  On Thursday afternoon we have Kapa Haka with Papa Murray.  This is such a fun learning experience for everyone (teacher's included).

This Friday we were going to have a School Assembly but there is going to be some refurbishment completed in the hall so this will happen in Week 3.

So as you can see between all these "extras" we will have lots of learning within the classroom.  Remember to keep up to date with what's happening in VH by following our blog.  Add us to your bookmarks so we are easy to find.

Take care

Mrs H
