There is a return slip attached which needs to be returned to school to acknowledge that it has been discussed at home. Our school's stance (and mine) is that our students are too young to have social media accounts, most platforms state that the minimum age is 13 years of age. I have more copies of the letter in class if it didn't make it home. </p><p><b>Monday</b></p><p>Goldentime (movie and snacks) as it couldn't happen last Friday. </p><p><b>Tuesday</b></p><p><b>Wednesday</b></p><p><b>Thursday</b></p><p>Tryathlon/ Swimming sports</p><p><b>Friday</b></p><p>Sausage sizzle</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSqCF1rxIwVZayMjpN9GoDQm9m99ZIupmRJ05T4IrbT8HMHPhjdi15opV3Hv4nmbYwn1kIh6Xpffug2j19nA00RJIVHyGIzYMZUkMJKSTNWzS2lKwhZszleZxfhxjw1HN4_Kll8kRRCh6H4uXoNX8zjzuXbY6KZOxVPfwY3iRxrqmh9i3AGGYidDdCQ/s4032/IMG_2552.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSqCF1rxIwVZayMjpN9GoDQm9m99ZIupmRJ05T4IrbT8HMHPhjdi15opV3Hv4nmbYwn1kIh6Xpffug2j19nA00RJIVHyGIzYMZUkMJKSTNWzS2lKwhZszleZxfhxjw1HN4_Kll8kRRCh6H4uXoNX8zjzuXbY6KZOxVPfwY3iRxrqmh9i3AGGYidDdCQ/s320/IMG_2552.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Tryathlon/ Swimming sports <span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">THURSDAY 8th December 2022</span></h3><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">- The swimming sports will be combined with the Triathlon and will be held at the Rotorua Aquatic Centre on Tarewa Road in Rotorua.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Years 4 – 6 students need to be dropped off at the Aquatic Centre on the day to meet their teacher by 8:45 am.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Swimming sports will finish at approximately 2:30 pm. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">-Children may come to swimming sports in their house colours, they may wear their togs under their clothes.</span><p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">-If your child is taking part in the triathlon -Run/Bike/Swim-they will need to have you transport their bike to the Aquatic Centre.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">-Alternatively your child can take part in the duathlon which is a Run/Swim<br /><br />Transport:<br />-Children need to be collected from the Aquatic Centre by 3:00pm at the latest.<br />-If your child attends After School Care or they usually catch the bus home they will be picked up from the Aquatic Centre at 2:30 pm.<br />-If you are unable to drop off or pick up your child from the Aquatic Centre please email Lorna Dobson lornad@stmarysrotorua.school.nz<br /><br />Children will need:<br />togs & towels, bike, sunhat, sunblock, warm clothes, morning tea, lunch & a water bottle.<br /><br />Should the event need to be cancelled this information will put on our website by 7:30am and a notification sent via Facebook, Educa and the school phone app.<br /><br />Whanau support will be needed on the day to help especially in the pool.

Please help your child get organised. All the information is on our learning site, they can show you. The weather looks like it is going to rain a bit so it may be wise to pack an extra set of clothes and a raincoat. We will endeavor to continue the programme, even in rain. <br /></p><p>Please remember to name all medication clearly and send along some home baking to share for morning and afternoon tea during camp. Remember - no digital devices are to be taken to camp. I will have my phone should we need to contact parents. </p><b>Calendar Art</b><br />The student’s have been busy creating artwork that can be made into affordable Calendars, Cards, Diaries, Mouse Mats and Sketch Pads.<br /><br />Each product is made from your own child’s art.

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 leaderboard.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">WIN JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The class who has the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday 20 September.</span></div>Mr Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06550398836574905638noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773170196713600086.post-17674041514853390142022-09-09T15:37:00.005+12:002022-09-09T15:37:30.690+12:00Fun Run<p> Today your child will be bringing home information for the upcoming Fun Run.
