From Mr Macmillan:

At the start of Term 2 children must be in winter uniform. Uniforms can be bought from our uniform shop. The shop is open Monday at 8.30am, Wednesday at 2.30pm and Friday at 8.30am. On Monday, the first day back in Term 2, it will be open at 8.30pm. I want to make sure our students are wearing the correct uniform in Term 2.

Remember the school uniform shop is also online here. 

Xavier and Kieran did a great job leading prayers and cooking the sausages last week. 

 

Swimming and cooking

It is great to see so many students enjoying our swimming lessons in the pool. The improvement is clear to see, having time with Henk Greupink has made a big difference.  

Today Mr G and a group of students cooked some of the vegetables that were harvested from our gardens. All of the class got to have a little taste. 

Waffle Wednesday with Grandma Gail, combined some cooking maths, writing instructions and eating.

Week 10 Notices

We are swimming this week

 While we still have some friends away from school it is great to have most of our class regularly at school. Please pray for our friends who are either sick or isolating, it can be difficult to be away from friends for long periods.

Alex and Nico cooking the sausages, there were a few well-cooked ones;-)

Problem solving by debugging

 Today we linked some problem solving with programming the mbots. We were set a challenge to programme the LED lights and sounds to play in unison, like a police siren and lights. 

We focused on being able to debug our programmes by communicating and persevering. 

The Annunciation

 We have been learning about the Annunciation of Mary. Students have made short videos to share their learning.

Week 9 Term 1

 Hopefully we have better weather this week so our pest trapping can fully begin. We first need to find out what pests are by using gink footprint cards. Then we can put some bait and traps out. 

If any student's sandals break over the next few weeks then winter shoes can be worn. Boys with the school socks and girls with plain white socks. 

Here is more information about purchasing our uniform.  Please remember, winter shoes are plain black shoes, with no logos. More information can be found here.
