Another wonderful week of science, te reo, tikanga
maori and te ao kori, painting, literacy and numeracy has simply flown by (we
watched the clock this time as it passed)!
And so here we are, diving with a splash into the
final two weeks of term, kicking off the swimming programme at the ASB Aquatic
Centre. For families who wish to watch us swim or to help us out with the quick
change afterwards, our time in the water will be 1.30 – 2.30. For half of this
time we will be having our swimming lessons, and for the rest of the time we
will have free play in the wave pool (while Rooms 1 and 2 have their lessons).
Do come along!
Some key reminders
for this week and next;
1. Please name all clothing items (and towels, togs
and goggles), and make sure that you have practised changing into and out of
both togs and uniform (including shoes). A fast change at the pool means that
we get back to school in good time for a 3 o’clock pick up.
2. Each year a number of plastic shopping bags rip or
grow holes, spilling out dry towels and uniforms onto the wet floor poolside
and in the changing rooms. If possible, please check that swim bags are strong
and also large enough to fit your child’s clothing – a uniform and shoes take
up much more space than togs and goggles J
3. Please pack children a big lunch each day, and
ensure an early bedtime each night (you may wish to cut homework shorter than
usual) – we need lots of energy!!
On
a final note, Mrs Sylvia Laurence will be teaching in Room 3 on Wednesday and
Thursday of this week, as Miss Driver is on classroom release, and working with
our senior Envirogroup.
