Week 6 Notices

 Kia ora Whanau

We are over halfway through term one, and fall has taken hold with some lovely rain and cooler nights. We are back down to Level 1 now and invite you back into the school, please though remember that if your child isn't well to keep them at home.

Last week, we finished off our time with Henk. The students and teachers learned a lot and had fun with him. We will be swimming again this week in preparation for our Swimming sports day on Monday 22nd March for our Kahikatea and Totara teams. We ask that all parents fill out the following form by Wednesday, March 17th. https://www.stmarysrotorua.school.nz/actions/webversion/?message=a10ef16996d31fceb5c489bb8d8847bf&id=530&fn=David&ln 

We have been working hard to establish routines with the students over the past few weeks. Although we still have a large number of students that are forgetting to charge their Chromebooks, bring their hats or headphones, please help to establish this routine at home.

Students at this point should be getting their work done at school, we ask that parents read with the students each night at home for 20mins.

The children, if managing their time, should be able to get their progressions and units in Math-Whizz and Lexia at school.

This week in R.E. we will be looking at the Stations of the Cross and invite you to come to the 10:00 Stations of the Cross with us in the church.

What's happening this week: We are swimming every day this week. Please ensure your child has their togs.

Friendly Reminders: - Chromebooks need to come to school charged. As we are a BYOD school, many of our learning activities now require devices. Headphones are essential please. - Each child needs a school hat. They can be purchased from the uniform shop for $13.

- Please LABEL your children's clothing, we have quite a few issues with shorts/dresses ending up on the wrong body.

- If you need headphones still, Kmart, The Warehouse, or school have them ranging in price from $8

-Please collect bread tags and yummy stickers if you need a chart please have your child come see Mrs. Waititi.

I hope you have a restful Sunday night and are looking forward to an exciting week ahead.
