Term 4 - Welcome back

Kia ora whānau,

Welcome back into the final term of the year. We have started with a bang in Room 3 last week including:


  • Footsteps Dance coming in a teaching us some moves to this song released way back in the year 2000 (before any of these kids were even born!)


Maybe you can convince your child to show you what they've learned so far!


  • We took part in the nationwide Shake Out drill to get everyone thinking about how to keep themselves safe during an earthquake. This fit nicely with our Health and PE focus of identifying risks and thinking about what to do to keep everyone safe in any event. Check out this website and have a talk to your child about how that might work at your home, at sports training and other places you frequently visit. 
  • Gladstone School Pet Day was a beauty. It was a great mixture of sunshine, animals and families. Congratulations to all of the participants and a big thank you to everyone who helped set it up, work during it and pack down at the end.
This coming week: 
  • Please keep an eye in your child's bag for the class newsletter, long term plan and weekly schedule.
  • Scarecrow making will be taking place on the tennis courts first session tomorrow (Monday) morning.
  • Footsteps Dance will be back on Tuesday morning to help us with our dance performance for the School Production again (this will continue weekly up until the school production week)
  • REAP Primary Schools Kapa Haka Festival at Masterton Town Hall on Thursday 22nd from 8.30am - 4.30pm (pop in and check it out!). Our school will be performing at 9.45am.
