Week 7

I really can't believe how fast this term has gone! We have just a little under 4 weeks left of school, and still lots to pack in. Athletics Day was a success and there were a few from Rm 7 who performed extremely well.
This week is our swimming week. The weather is much warmer, so it would be nice to swim. Don't forget your togs!
I will not be setting anymore Home Learning Tasks for the rest of the term, however please keep up with the reading. I have spent a lot of my weekends writing up school reports and my poor children have been missing out on time with mum, so that is what I will be doing for the last weekends of the term. If you would like extra work, there are set tasks in your Google account you can complete.
All tickets that were issued for the PTA fundraiser needs to be returned whether they have been sold or not by Wednesday.

Here's what's on this week:

Monday: Singing Practice for Production. Final Reading Assessment for the year.

Hi Ms. YTT,

Another from Ceana

Hi Mrs Waititi

I filled a small glass with water and took it with a piece of paper to the window.
I held the glass on top of the paper into the sunlight and twisted and turned it until I saw a rainbow on the paper on the window sill.
Then mum took a photo of the rainbow while I was holding the glass of water.

love Sara!!!
