Good morning on this wonderful, wet Sunday morning. I hope you are all managing to stay warm and dry. We had a very rewarding week of testing reading, writing and maths last week. The children have worked hard this year so far and it can certainly be seen in the gains that they have made.
Once again, St Mary's provides our children with many opportunities to participate in a variety of sports and activities.
Young Vinnies have the finals of the Talent Quest tomorrow at 9.15 am in the hall. Congratulations to those who are in the finals. Remember to be prepared and bring any props, clothes etc which you may need. The rest of the school look forward to watching and seeing the talent in our school.
The Ripper Rugby Tournament is scheduled for this Wednesday, with Friday as the postponement day. This event has been postponed twice already so let’s hope that it happens this time.
The interschool Cross Country is scheduled for Tuesday, with Thursday being the postponement day. Ray is with the team at the Springfield Golf Course.
Our Chess Teams have done exceptionally well in the three tournaments that they have played in over the last 10 days. In the last tournament they played in over in Tauranga, one of the teams came in second, by one point, against year 7&8 teams. In Taupo, we were 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Players have now qualified to compete in the Nationals. Claire Delos Santos has been the top girl in all three of the tournaments. Thanks Mr G for the awesome job you do with our Chess players.
June also starts the month of Matariki, over the next two weeks our play focus is on planet earth and beyond. The teachers will be providing opportunities for the children to participate to extend their learning around this.
Kahikatea is leading the Matariki Liturgy in the hall on Thursday.
Toast
This week the children will be able to have toast in the mornings. They are learning how to use the toaster, make their toast with spreads and then wash and dry their plate after they have eaten.
We are still able to provide the bread, but we are asking for donations of spreads for the children to use. If you are in the position to supply a spread the children will gratefully have them.
Our week
Monday - Talent Quest finals
Tuesday - Library Room 15
Wednesday - Library Room 17 & 16

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, see you tomorrow.
Lorette Tiedt and Team Kahikatea
