Welcome back to Term 4. We have a new addition to the HQ - some sliding doors in between the Kitchen and Meeting spaces and also between the Meeting and Info spaces. Please feel free to pop in and have a look - we are loving the extra flexibility these doors are offering. Now a class can be having a discussion, and the class next door doing some quiet work, without anyone feeling guilty that their class is disturbing the other! The doors will be closed as the teachers see fit during our morning lessons in writing, reading and maths, but will generally be open for our more collaborative afternoon sessions.
I hope you all received the email directing you to the wonderful photos from Seussical Jr that Ana Stevens took. If you did not receive that email, please contact me on dbusfield@avonhead.school.nz and I will send it through to you.
This week is Athletic Sports - these will be held on Thursday and Friday this week. We have been practising every afternoon during week 1!
Following on from athletics training we will begin our Health topic - Changes at Puberty - a letter outlining this will come out this week. We hope to have two sessions a week for Health and the other two we will look at Careers.
Last week some information came home about a school wide read-a-thon. The slips on the bottom need to be returned to school please, whether or not your child is taking part. If the letter did not make it home, please email me and I will send you a copy.
We hope you all had a nice break with your children, and we are looking forward to this term :)
