WELL...where did that time go - just look through the photos on here and the story is told ;)

Dates: Last day Thursday 2nd April
Open day Wednesday 1st April
Totara Syndicate assembly - Room 7 - 9.45am Tuesday.

3 SUPER SHARP students from last week: Well done to Connor, Ella & Angus.
Respect - cheery personalities and using their manners (courtesy), Achievement - awesome reading (Connor)....

MOVING MARCH....on Wednesday we walked around our school - every now and then we stopped to listen, look, smell - this is what it is like when we walk, bike, scooter or skateboard to school.
That is what MOVING MARCH is all about. Enjoying what we see, hear, smell or touch on the way to school.

Breathing in - listening!!

WOW - SUPER SHARP seven....look at us with our MOVING MARCH prizes.
Shoelaces, badges or stickers.

 Super 7 SHARP...look at our 2 trophies ...Tidiest cloakbay & we won the SPY award for being the best class in assembly.

Writing our ideas/thoughts about ANZAC day - look at these on the wall in our room..

What do we know about ANZAC day??

Bella looking so smart! In our new school dress. 

Imogen's news on mufti day.

MUFTI DAY success - Room 7 alone raised $64.50. We counted this up - and had a good maths session.
How many $1 or $2  in $10 , then we added the $ up. We used our doubles and counting in 10s. 

The school raised just over $600 for Mrs Regnault. 

Auction $$$$$
You too could buy this for $1000 - well done Angus.

The auction $$$ give the children an opportunity to aim for more $ - plus they learn to add in their $100's and 50's. 

DONATIONS FOR VANUATU...
Oscar W (Room 8) family are collecting things that can be sent to Vanuatu. I'm so proud of our class we had a lot of toys that we decided to send for the children in Vanuatu. We talked about just how rich we are - home, food, clean water etc....and we talked about "did we really need those toys?". 

There have been several notices about this collection - if you do have items at home do send them to school or give to Oscar W's parents directly. 

Mr Plimmer's talk: Thanks to Alistair Plimmer who came in and spoke to our syndicate on Friday afternoon about ANZAC day - interesting facts learnt and discussed.
A few children knew what ANZAC meant - well done Bailey for answering this in the syndicate talk.


ANZAC DAY - this is a special time for me, and I'm sure for a lot of you.
Please join our school on Anzac Day - 25th April - at the Greytown Memorial Baths for the Greytown ANZAC Day ceremony - I think it is 10.30am but will double check.
The children wear school uniform to represent Greytown School. They are welcome to walk/march from the war memorial down Kuratawhiti Street to the Main Street where the procession stops outside the Workingmen's Club. Please walk with us if you would like.

This is ONE of my most favourite places in Greytown - the walk amongst these trees is magical. Each tree represents a fallen soldier from our area. Here is my Amelia walking through the trees. 

(Thanks Jannelle for the photo). 

(This is the grounds next to the swimming baths).

Enjoy the photos...get your child to explain what they were doing in the photo.
