 Good evening Parents and caregivers,

Just a reminder that i have sent home 5 words for your children to learn tonight. The children will be tested on them tomorrow. Also a reminder to please read with your child every day. We are coming to an end to term 4 and I need your help to get your children where they need to be academically. 

Also we have our assembly tomorrow where children must come in their school uniform and a change of clothing(mufti clothes) should be in their bags, where they can change into before our assembly. 

Thanks again,

Mariam Zaia.

Greetings parents and caregivers,

 It is Georgia's last day in another two weeks, the dates are still to be confirmed so A3 will have a shared lunch for her to say goodbye to our little Georgia. If it is possible for everyone to bring something to be a part of our shared lunch that would be great! Will keep you updated!!

Thanks again,

Mariam.

Reading can take place on Sunshine online, I will post a list of what levels you should be reading with your child. Please stay connected to me, you can always email me on mariamz@marymackillop.school.nz

They should be counting from 1-100 and 100-1. Counting in 2s,5s, and 10s.
