Week 8

Week 8 is a busy week! Our countdown to production and the end of term are both speeding along!

What is happening in Room 12 this week?

Advent Calendar Challenge: This week we only have 2 days together as a class (Tuesday and Wednesday) due to other school wide events. Due to this, I have planned an integrated challenge in the Christmas spirit - Children will be given a 'secret person' (from our class) and they will need to design and create an advent calendar that focuses on kindness and making their secret person smile each day. At the end of the day on Wednesday we will give our calendars to our 'secret person', and will be kept in class so every child can start the day by revealing a nice comment on their calendar written for them. If your child has any crafty items that will help with this at home then they are more than welcome to bring them in. 

Production Rehearsal: Monday is another big rehearsal day - main cast will be out rehearsing all day up until lunchtime, and the rest will be out for either the morning or middle block. Please keep practising at home as well...one week to go!

Assembly: We are on assembly this week - this starts at 2.05pm on Friday and we would love for our whanau to attend. We will be sharing our projects from the term and are planning on having a Christmas surprise at the end (which we will be practising tomorrow afternoon). If you have any Christmas dress up items at home we would really appreciate borrowing them for our skit if possible.

Learning Celebrations: Learning celebrations are on Tuesday afternoon between 3pm and 5pm. We would love to see all of our whanau there - it is an opportunity for your child to share and celebrate their year of learning with you. Please arrive by 4.30pm at the latest, as the classroom will be closed by 5pm. It would also be appreciated if you could let me know an estimate of the time you are coming if possible. Thank you. 

Year 6 Pilgrimage / Year 5 Leadership Day: Thursday is our Year 6 Pilgrimage - a notice went home with the details for this. Please let me know if you do not have one. Year 5s will come to school as per usual and will be doing leadership building activities for the day. 

Totora Fun Fair: Friday is our Totora Fun Fair. Children can come in mufti to school, and we will be running a variety of fun activities that children can opt into for the morning and middle blocks of the day. This is our end of year celebration.
