We are now halfway through this term - wow it is going fast!!! The Room 8 children have been working exceptionally hard and I am really please with them all.

Remember that school finishes at 12.30 on Thursday, buses will run as usual, so the children who normally catch a bus will be supervised at school till 3.00, otherwise can all parents please arrange to have their children picked at 12.30 or soon after..

We may be able to go swimming on a couple of days this week- I will let you know as soon as I find out - maybe bring your togs on Monday just in case, it depends on whether any senior classes are going to use their times after all their swimming last week.

Remember to do your homework, we will put it on the Blog together on Monday at school, and then bring your homework book back on Friday so I can mark it. I will be including a new website called Studyladder in the homework this week, the children will have instructions how to access it on Monday.

We have the St Joseph's Day Mass in Friday, the middle school teachers are organising it, so there will be children from our area participating in the Mass, so parents please come and join us. St Joseph is important to us, as we were founded by the Joesephite Sisters - we will presenting a brief history of the Josephite Sisters involvement in Rotorua, including Sister Carina's involvement in our school- she has just celebrated 50 years as a Sister.

Remember to continue thinking about your Lenten promises, and how you are getting on with them. It is now only three weeks till Easter.

See you on Monday....
