Term 4 Week 2

Hi there and Happy Sunday! 

Firstly, apologies, I mentioned last week that we would be sharing in assembly at the end of Week 2 (this coming week), and that the school would be having a Bring ’n’Buy.  These will both  be at the end of Week Four.  Sorry!


Looking ahead: 

We will be visiting the Petone Settlers Museum this Tuesday 18th October, leaving Hutt Central at 12.45pm after an early lunch.  We will arrive back at school by 3pm.  Many thanks to those parents who have said they are able to join us. 

Claire and I will both be released on Wednesday. Penny Musgrave and Andrea Spink will be teaching in the Kowhanga. 

On Thursday our Kowhanga will be visiting the Hutt Library between 10.45 and 12.30pm.  Please let us know if you are available to join us. 

There will be no assembly on Friday afternoon as the school will be preparing for the 150 year Reunion. 

On Saturday school is open, and the children have been asked to arrive at school by 8.30am, meeting in our Kowhanga.  Children can be collected from school from 12.30 /1pm.   There will be no school on Monday or Tuesday. 
 We have started French lessons with Amelie’s mum, Susannah, every Monday morning.  The children are learning greetings and basic phrases,  and are embracing the opportunity to learn another language, as well as te reo.  Thanks so much Susannah for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
 We have been so impressed with the progress all our children are making with their basic facts (instantly recalling addition and subtraction facts) and we appreciate the additional practice you have been giving the children at home.  There are some good online programmes you can access at home:

www.mathseeds.co.nz– you can access a free trial

Our PE focus this term is on running, jumping and throwing, and developing these fundementals skills for participation in competitive athletics in years 3+.  We often timetable our PE for 2.30pm – feel free to join us if you spot us playing a game.  The kids love it! 
Yay, enjoy the rest of this lovely Sunday!  See you all tomorrow. 


Claire and Amy
