Week 4, Term 1 -
These weekly notices are to be more closely tailored to what Room 16 and 17 (Ruma Weta) are doing within the Middle School. Some weeks we may share the same notices.
Although Rooms 16 and 17 will have separate blogs this year, we are essentially operating as one class, as was the case last year, for the majority of the time. This is important preparation for the eventual move to a Middle School modern learning environment based on the collaborative teaching model, in the near future.
Both Mrs Hall and I think that teaching and learning is progressing well so far within the Ruma Weta collaborative environment. This is Mrs Hall’s first year in a collaborative setting.
Ruma Weta is NOT swimming this week.
Mr Macmillan is happy to organise an inter-house tug of war this Friday. It will be a Golden Time activity. We will be following a tight time schedule due to the Leaders’ Commissioning Ceremony at 2.05pm.
We would like to remind parents again about our phone app. This week we will be notifying parents on how to receive notifications from the phone app.

Thanks to Mrs Hall and the three children who attended the Commissioning Mass at the Mount. It was a lovely Mass and it is always great to mingle with colleagues from other Catholic Schools in the area.
