Week 8 Term 3 2022

With all the wild weather, I suddenly realised that we are speeding through the term at a rapid rate. 

Thank you to those who have sent to school the costumes even better they have all been named. Thank you. If you haven't sent them we will be needing them in by the end of this week please. White shirt (boys and girls) Black pants or dark jeans and skirts that are knee length.

We had an exciting week last week with the stem Makey Makey activities, we are hoping that we will be able to finish up with these on Thursday this week. Please, remember your water bottle each day. Staying hydrated really helps with our learning and our moods. We also have had a lot of kids who have been coming to school with flat computers. Please encourage your children to charge these during the week. We have 3 very busy and exciting weeks ahead. Stay informed - check the blogs and newsletters so you don't miss out.

This Week

Mon:  Library

Tue: rehearsal for our dance

Wed: Chess and Lawn Bowls lunchtime clubs, Kapa Haka

Thur:

Fri: Mini Marathon, Pasifika

Our Learning:

Literacy: we are using our reading books and poetry writing to build our vocabulary.  If you come across any new and interesting words, feel free to share them with us. We are going to have a word (or 2) of the day - our challenge will be to use the word of the day when speaking or in our writing. 

Mathematics: We are continuing to learn our basic facts (times tables, 100, 10s and 1s, basic addition/subtraction, counting...) and we will be using known facts to solve some word problems.

RE: We are learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how we can use these gifts to bring a little bit of God into the world.



Little Red Rocking Hood                                                                    We are getting pretty excited now.  We have set aside a little space for costumes. Please, make sure everything is named and that they are in a bag that is also clearly named. Thanks, heaps!

Get behind the school and help us reach our goal.  This is replacing the Gala Day this year.


How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email or text) and let the fundraising begin.  The children can offer to do a chore, help in some way to exchange for sponsorship.  The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collect stickers, earn badges and see the leader board.


Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form. 



WIN  JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS

The class who have the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.  

Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday 20 September.

  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua Commissioned by NZ Catholic Bishops, it was unveiled and blessed on the Feast of the Assumption in 2021 at St Mary of the Angels Church in Wellington. The artist is Damian Walker from Christchurch: “the painting depicts Mary as a symbol of unity in her universal motherhood, uniting Heaven and Earth in her son, Jesus, the son of God.” The image is framed like a wharenui , with the Holy Spirit above… our ultimate spiritual home is the House of God. Revelation 12:1 “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” Purity Reflecting the light (Mary is not the Light) Jesus is wearing the very rare kahu kiwi , or kiwi-feathered cloak, to show his unique mana Holding a book –  Jesus as the Eternal Word The design on the cover is based on Bishop Pompallier’s own prayerbook Hand raised in blessing:  two fingers, human and divine three fingers representi...

Welcome to Room 12 2022

  Welcome Back! I am very excited to be coming back in 2022, to Room 12. I hope you have all had a great break and are ready to get back into school. A little background into myself for those of you that don't know me. I was born and raised in Alberta Canada. I have been living in New Zealand for 16 years. My three boys and I have been calling Rotorua home for the past 7 years. I love to camp, play all sports and spend time with my boys on our farm. I am looking forward to all the adventures that 2022 will bring. I am a firm believer in reading at home, for the most part, this is the only ask I will have for my students in the form of homework. Reading at home can look different for each person. You could have someone read a book to you, you can listen to audiobooks, read online/device or read to someone else. The recommendation is for 20mins each day. With our very busy lives, this is often not achievable but it is the goal I would like everyone to strive for. A reading log went h...
