Last week of Term 2!

I cannot believe it is already the last week of Term 2! Time really does fly when you are having fun (and learning lots together!) I just want to say a huge thank you to our Room 12 community for being so welcoming and supportive of me joining this term. We have built such a positive learning environment that is supportive, respectful, collaborative and all built upon our school values. I am incredibly proud of the progress our children have made this term, especially in terms of their confidence, learning attitudes and supportive team mindsets in our classroom. If we are all happy, confident and positive about our learning, then we can guarantee we will see progress in our academic results. So thank you for all of your support and I cannot wait to see what next term will bring!

Just a few notices for this week...

Next term we are going to be having a Prayer focus within Room 12, where we will be learning how to be effective Prayer Monitors who plan daily prayer time around a focus or theme. As part of this, our Prayer Monitors will be responsible for designing our Prayer Table to match their focus/theme for the week. If you have any bits of fabric, material, ornaments, candles, plants etc that you do not want anymore, we would love to add them to our class Kete of Prayer Table items (no pressure at all with this, only if you have items that you are wanting to get rid of and think would be appropriate for our Kete). Can you please send them with your child this week so we can have it all set up ready to start next term. Thanks!

WEARABLE ARTS ON FRIDAY! Our show will be at 1.30pm in the hall. If anyone is available to come into school and help our class with their creations (Monday 1.30, Wednesday 1.30 or Thursday 1.30) then please let me know. Our Whanau are also welcome to attend our show on Friday...we hope to see you there! Our creations are starting to come together and are looking really neat! There has been a lot of learning in terms of how to adapt recycled items, which recycled items will be the most effective, and a lot of problem solving and debugging to change our designs as we create them. This is a great creativity activity and it has been neat seeing our class trying to think outside the box to make their creation completely original and different from anyone else's.

Don't forget about our DISCO on Thursday night!

Friday we are having our MUFTI DAY! The proceeds of this will go towards support Caritas to help those in need. Have a look at this website to get an idea of how our donations will support those in need. Caritas - Mufti Mania
