NEWSLETTER TERM TWO WEEK FIVE




Caught being good -------- Lydia. Well done Lydia

Just a short newsletter this week as I am writing this on Wednesday. I’m taking a couple of days sick leave. We have made a solid start to our fish unit with some very good art unit. This should go up on display next week and will be worth checking out. We are hoping to go fishing in the next two weeks. The juniors are progressing particularly well with our small ball unit. It focuses on catching, throwing and hitting and I have seen some very impressive results.

We are currently setting up hot lunches. The thought is that they will be available everyday and it will be stuff that we can just stick in the pie warmer in the morning.

Remember these newsletters are also available on the weblog. It’s very useful if you want to look back for something.

NEWSLETTER TERM TWO WEEK THREE




Caught being good -------- Rodney. Well done Rodney

The BOT takes great delight in announcing the appointment of a new Principal for Uruti School. Mrs. Pauline Sutton brings a wide knowledge base and a wealth of experience to the school and we look forward to her starting at the beginning of term three. She intends to be at the school tomorrow for our district sports so she can meet the kids . any parents, and other teachers from our cluster. She also intends visiting the school over the next few weeks to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Kiwi Sports tomorrow – We will have over 100 pupils and parents at the school. We are basically using the same programme as previous years as we are a little cramped for space. All parents are welcome to attend. Check out our new sports shed.

Constable Rhys Connell made a courtesy visit to the school. He is our community liaison constable.

We have started our new fish unit and we are hoping to take the children fishing sometime soon.
