God wants to be known. How much do we want to know God?

And this competition too.

The Smart family have donated a voucher for a one night stay at the Rotovegas Motel for a lucky Dad. To enter the Fathers’ Day Competition the children have to write, “What is fab bout my Dad”. Entries close Thursday after school.

It was awesome to have our school, as a school welcome the NZ Marist team on Friday. The children really put their heart and soul into the welcome and we were lucky to have our Kaumatua with us too. Rangi does a great job. Wasn’t it fun, and the players said the day at St Mary’s was awesome. Thank you Mrs Dunkley for your meticulous organisation. Thanks also to Dorothy and our awesome PTA who organised the tasty lunch for the team.

Have a great week!

Eating in Ruma Weta

 We have decided to give the children a little bit more scope to sit where they want in the classroom to eat at morning tea and lunchtime. The understanding is that they are careful about the rubbish and crumbs they leave behind so we can continue to give them this privilege. We were finding they were leaving lots of mess on the tarpaulins, perhaps because they were not being careful.

WEEK 4 TERM 3

What a great day on Friday with celebrating Mary Mackillop-her life and her work.

The students all looked excited and interested.

Please practice the X tables and spelling on the Homework Label.

This week is Maths Week so we will be looking at lots of extra activities to do with Maths this week.

The Assumption- click here to view
This week we also learn about Mary's Assumption into Heaven.

Could parents please remind children about the importance of not actively playing in our Ruma Weta - rooms 16 & 17 classrooms. Most children are behaving appropriately. Despite repeated warnings some children are still insisting on running, throwing and bouncing balls and playing with furniture around the classroom. The classroom is for learning or playing calm games, all active play needs to be outside. We have a multitude of expensive electronic equipment in the classroom and sooner or later there will be an expensive 'accident'. 

If your child does not currently have a pair of headphones that work could you please purchase one for them. They are essential for a quiet and concentrated working environment especially when using maths whizz or lexia programmes. Cheap pairs are available for sale at the office.
