Only one more sleep for the MOA awards.  Keep donations coming in for the Gala.  Bike Safety day has been postponed due to a double booking.  Lots on at the moment, keep checking in...

Our Calendar Art

Here is our Calendar Art.  We used a green screen as part of our work for the MOA Awards to take these photos.  Make sure you order your calendar quick.

Hello Everyone,

Well the MOA awards are finally here.  Tomorrow night sounds like it is going to be a great evening.  I can’t wait to see if our movies, photos or graphics have won an award.  At this stage we are still looking to have the children travelling in style to the ‘Red Carpet’ in classic cars from 6.30pm from the school car park (unfortunately the weather looks like it might be against us).  I know a lot of tickets have been sold so get there early.  As I understand it once we are there the children will sit together near the front with adults behind the children. This Wednesday is bike safety day.  I will let you know more details as we find out.  Check in with our blog, as this will be the first place I put information as I get it.  The final day for ordering Calenders is this Friday, once again I have put the students Art on the class blog so you can see what they have made.  We have used a green screen photo from our MOA awards work.  Get ordering, quick!  Gala Day is this Friday.  It always amazes me how a community gets behind a school for fundraising events like this.  Keep those donations rolling in.  There is a lot on at the moment so keep checking in on our blog.  It is the fastest way to let you know what is happening.

Term 3 Comes to an End, Holiday Photo Competition

Hello Everyone,

Wow, it’s hard to believe that we have made it to the end of another term.  This term has gone so quickly, looking back we certainly have achieved a lot over the last 10 weeks.  This week we are putting the finishing touches on our MOA award entries, these are due in on Friday to the judges so during the holidays check in on our blog to see samples of the magnificent work that the students have put together.  As the holidays are fast approaching it would be great to keep our ‘blog’ current with what Room 14 students are doing during the holidays, so if you have some interesting photos of the things you are doing please e-mail them to me so I can share them on our blog, you never know their may even be prizes for interesting photos!  Our homework sheet for this week has been updated on the Homework page above.

email photos to:  andrewl@opunakeprimary.school.nz

LIBRARY BOOKS

As the term is winding down to an end we are once again 

on the search for School Library Books.  Could we please 

have these all back to school as soon as possible.  It would 

be great for Room 14 to be the first class to have all of 

our books returned for Term 3.

Welcome back to Term 3

Hi everyone, welcome back to Term 3.  As always we have a lot planned for this term.  We will be hitting the ground running with Fractions, Decimals and Percentages for Mathematics.  We will be doing some creative writing pieces, looking forward in time to what we think we will be like in 30, 50 years time.  

Homework for Week 1 is on the page above.
