Our Olympic Ring
Our ring is
purple because it is the colour of Jesus. It is also the colour of the ribbon
on the medals. Our purple ring has the Olympic values of such friendship, respect and
excellence.

ST ANNE'S FEAST CONCERT - FRIDAY 27 July
REPORTED BY TATIANA
St Anne was
the mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus .St Anne had always wanted a
child before she had Mary.
She prayed
to God in the temple every day. She loved God; St Anne always wanted to do good
things. She is a great role model. Before she had Mary, people were saying bad
things about her and her husband,Joachim, because they had no children. This made her
husband depressed.
One day Joachim went into the desert to pray for a child. An angel appeared to
him. The angel said, “You will have a daughter and you will call her Mary and
give her to me!”
At that time
Anne was in the garden watching the baby birds. She shouted, “Why can’t I have
a child?”
An angel appeared to her and told her that she
would have a child and she was to call her Mary and give her back to God. Anne
and her husband were very happy.
St Anne
loved Mary and made her work in the church every day at an early age. Mary decided
to follow in the footsteps of her mother and together they worshiped the Lord.
I think St
Anne was a great person and a great grandmother mother. St Anne is a saint all
parents can look up to.
Great to take part in our feast day Mass after play.
Best of all it was a real pleasure to have Bishop Barry visit our class.We were amazed when he told us about the number of languages he speaks.
HAPPY FEAST DAY!

WELCOME BACK
Kia Orana – Greetings
from Rarotonga!
Tena koutou
I hope you all had a restful and warm holiday break.
The children look well rested and are ready for learning in the third term.
Thank you for all the support and I hope the mid-year
reports clearly informed you of how your child is learning at school. Once again, revisit the
goals set with your child and set new ones using recommendations made in the
reports.
During the term the students will be guided and supported in
keeping the routines to engage in learning at this level. I hope that the
children will continue to work on becoming self-propelled learners and develop this responsibility with a
positive attitude.I shall endeavour to do the best I can to ensure their
progress in all areas.
The assertive
discipline policy in my class is designed to help those children who need help in acquiring
appropriate behaviours.
Our key competency focus is participating and contributing
and I would like to see the students grow in becoming more confident in this
area.
COMMUNICATION
The big concept that weaves through all our learning is COMMUNICATION which means that most if not all of our studies will be around this theme.
In the first few weeks the students will be busy making preparations for the feast day activities and their assembly.
We are also visiting the Art Gallery on Wednesday 25 July and look forward to the experience.
LONGTERM PLAN
RE-.
There are two major strands for the term are Church
and Sacrament. The students will continue to be involved in a very active way
to live and expand their faith. Separate letters informing you of the content
of studies will be in your child’s RE
exercise book. This book will be sent home on a regular basis with home
activities to be completed requiring your input. This exercise allows you to
support the learning that happens in class .It is important that you sign each
home activity on completion and write a comment at the end of the study in each
strand .
Our assembly this term will focus on SUSTAINABILITY, a
study we completed last term.
We are also preparing items for our concert on our feast day
coming up.
Room 5 are also responsible for the planning and organization
of the Mission Fair this term and your support and help will be much
appreciated.
