Week 8 Term 4

 Week 8 Term 4

Our last full week for 2021. Wow! That went fast. Kakano 1 and 2 have swimming

this week BUT there are Big Day In events all week so it’ll be a bit topsy turvy. Bring

your togs everyday - just in case. 

Readers and Resources

Our resource room is in desperate need of an overhaul. To allow our incredible support

team to get this done we are trying to collect and shelve all of our readers and we will

not be sending books home. Please, check at home for any readers, library books or school resources and return these asap. Your Sunshine books online logins are still active for

anyone wanting to use this instead. https://www.sunshineclassics.com.au/ 

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Hour of Code

St Marys is participating in the Hour of Code this week. Computers are everywhere!

We use them for work, to take photos, to keep in touch with our families and even to

do the grocery shopping. Computational thinking helps nurture problem-solving skills,

logic, and creativity. Anyone can learn  the basics of coding and you don’t even need technology. https://www.csunplugged.org/en/ 

Big Day In

On Thursday, the Year 2 CREW will have a whole day of fun to celebrate a fabulous

year of work and play. Children can come to school in mufti but, please make sure that

they are dressed for a day in the sun - t-shirt with shoulders covered, sunhat… They will also need their togs and towel. 

End of Year Mass

Due to Covid restrictions, our end of year celebrations are happening in-house. Our

end

of Year mass will be attended by our Totara Team (year 5/6) and, we hope, will be

shared online. Next week's prize giving has also had to be made Red light friendly -

stand by for more information about this, later.

Food Bank

The Young Vinnies are collecting food for the food bank. Thank you to the whanau who

have already contributed. We welcome any donations of non-perishable food.
