Welcome back to school!

I hope you all had great holidays and are ready for an excellent term! 

Please check out the Term 4 page on this blog for our News Reporting timetable and for information about the term.

Fitness Trail Fun

Today we walked down to the fitness trail to have a go on it.

Tatiana said she enjoyed racing against other people. Kay likes that you can go over or under the bars.

We found the balance bar the trickiest but the wooden steps to climb up were a bit scary too. It was lots of fun having a go on it during class time!

Assembly Week 3

It is Rangitoto Team's assembly on Thursday 10 August. Please come along!

 The classroom time slot is for a maximum of one hour, generally 15-30 minutes is plenty of time
 Pre-schoolers and other children are sometimes hard to manage - please leave with
family or friends if possible

Production week 9

We are fast approaching our Year 1-3 School Production which takes place in Week 9 of this term.  

Every child takes part in the production as part of their class act, and we are looking forward to showing off our talents on the performance days which are as follows:

Monday 26th June  - Dress rehearsal  (during school time)

Tuesday 27th June  - 6pm Evening performance - children to arrive at school by 5.30pm

Wednesday 28th June  - Matinee performance (during school time)

Thursday 29th June - 6pm Evening performance - children to arrive at school by 5.30pm

Each class is representing a colour and our colour is purple.  Our costume requirements are:

• Black leggings / trousers
• Plain purple or black t-shirt - this can be either short sleeve or long sleeve top, or a singlet
• a pair of sunglasses (these do not need to be purple...) (please let me know if you don't have a pair of sunglasses and I can organise some)

I have bought purple spray for their hair. Please let me know if you do not want your child to have it in. We will only be using this for the night shows....

Please see the 'Term 2' page for our song words and music.

Spelling Week 3 Term 2
