Week 9!

Kia ora whānau Wow- what a busy week it has been. It is just a hive of activity in the L space and the children are having so much fun creating their costumes for our Wearable Arts Performance. We also welcome back Kelsey Shiels who is a Post Graduate teaching student who will be with us for the next 7 weeks. The children have loved having her back in the class, and her creative skills have already been put to great use! The children have been absolutely outstanding in their creativity and also with their patience, as we juggle the needs of 49 students versus the number of teacher hands! We are very grateful to those parents who have come in and helped us out this week- you have made an amazing difference and it is so appreciated. We can't wait to share all the completed costumes with you. Dates to be aware of ** If you have not already sent in a black teeshirt and leggings for your childs costume- we would appreciate these asap. ** House Colour Day and Sauasage Sizzle- Tuesday 15 September On Tuesday next week (15th September) the TLC (Thorrington Leaders Club) have organised a house colour day. Children are welcome to come to school in their house colours and we will all eat together on the field , subject to weather! The T.L.C have organised a round of Tug of War contests for the children to be involved in . Plus we are offering an extra sausage sizzle to raise funds for our new playground developments in conjunction with our wonderful PTA. Unfortunately we won’t be able to have families join us for this event, as we are still in Level 2. While house colour t-shirts are not compulsory, these can be purchased from the office. The sausages can be ordered before school for $2 as per our normal Friday routine. Friday's sausage sizzle will operate as usual. ** Thursday. Library Day ** Please be aware that our classroom programmes will run differently next week due to our Wearable Arts focus. This means that your child may not necessarily bring home a reading book every day as they usually would. Have a great weekend Wendy, Sarah, Anna, Hannah and Kelsey
