LOTS ON OVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS
There are now only three weeks left before the end of term two-the term
finishes on Friday July 4.
Next week the school will be holding an art week. Children will be working
every afternoon in small groups, doing art activities related to the Medieval
Unit they have been doing. Parents are very welcome to call in, see what
the children are doing and lend a hand. The activities children are doing
include making shields, armour, banners, jewellery, musical instruments
tunics, stained glass windows and weaving,
All children will be participating in a rugby skills programme provided
by Wellington Rugby and run by Manu Flutey. Rooms 1,2 and 3 will be doing
this the next two Tuesday mornings and rooms 7 and 8 on the next two Thursday
mornings. All children will need to bring PE gear for this
Parent Interviews will be held on Monday June 23 and Tuesday June 24,
starting at 2.30. School will close at 2.10 on both these days. The homework
centre will be closed on Tuesday June 24, due to parent interviews. Could
parents please fill out the form attached to the newsletter and send it
back to school as soon as possible. We would like to see at least one
parent from every family.
On Wednesday July 2, the school will be holding a Medieval Day to celebrate
all the work that has been completed this term. The school will be open
for parents and visitors to call in and see what the children have been
doing. We would like children to dress in Medieval clothing eg, a hat,
long dress, a waistcoat etc. Between 11.30 and 12.30 the children will
be involved in playing games that they used to play in the middle ages.
They will eat lunch together in their house groups and put on a folk dancing
display at 1.30 in the afternoon.

The school does not take responsibility for games, toys and cards brought
from home. They often get damaged, lost or stolen and cause arguments.
It would be nice to think that stealing would not be an issue in a Catholic
school. We certainly teach that it is wrong. However the reality is that
the temptation is sometimes too much for some children. It really is best
not to bring these things to school.
Some children are arriving with pies, chips and chicken from the new bakery
for breakfast. This is not a healthy way to start the day. Also a lot
of children are having pies and fizzy drinks dropped into them for their
lunch on a regular basis. This is OK as a treat but not 2 or 3 times a
week. Sandwiches, fruit, yoghurt, raisins, muesli bars etc are still the
best sorts of food your child can have for their lunch.
