Friday


Welcome at Mass this Friday

At the end of Mass this Friday, all of the new entrants will be formally welcomed to our school.
Each child and their family will be called up the front of the church and will receive a pair of Rosary beads.
Parents and families of these students are particularly encouraged to join us at Mass.

We have been doing  a lot of science this week in class.
Today we learned about the water cycle and yesterday we observed some worms and wrote about them.  We are trying to use interesting words in our writing.
Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be in Wellington for the day.  I will be talking at a conference about the benefits of play for children.
If you have a chance to watch this Ted talk by Peter Gray. 
He explains it all in about thirteen minutes.

See you at mass on Friday
Mrs H

  1. Fab photos, fab play had by all. Also a great talk by Peter Gray, I agree 100% that we all need more play, especially our children.Thanks for posting Brigitte. A few books that I enjoy based on PLAY are Play, How it shapes the brain, opens the imagination and invigorates the soul by Stuart Brown and Play as if your life depends on it by Frank Forencich.
