Welcome to Week 6!

We have been very busy in Room 3!  Last Friday was Rowandale's Musical showcase.  Thank you to all our whanau and friends who came along to see us perform.  I am sure you were all familiar with our song, 'I like the flowers,' as learning the words was homework for the week.  All the children did very well  to get up on stage in front of a large audience.

Last week we also celebrated Diwali!  Room 3 coloured rongoli patterns which are now on display on the wall outside our room.  These colourful patterns are used to decorate the entrance to homes to welcome visitors during Diwali.

Our weaving we did for Niuean language week is also on display outside the room.  Here is a picture of the finished product.

Swimming begins this week which the children are very excited about.  Please send them with their named togs, towel and spare underwear in a plastic bag on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Your children made have mentioned they have had a reading or mathematics test recently.  These will be completed this week.  It is the time of the term when we test all children in these areas.  The results are used alongside classroom work to see the progress they are making and what they need to learn next.  

Please remember my door is always open should you have anything you wish to talk to me about.

Have a good week!
