Good evening everyone, I hope you have had a lovely weekend. 

Please spend some time this week practising your Eisteddfod poems. Remember to introduce yourself and tell us why you chose your poem, add expression, and even some gestures or actions!!

Also, you may want to start thinking about ice skating, which begins next week. All children will need a warm jacket, waterproof trousers, knee-length socks, a woolly hat (no pompoms) and gloves. We also welcome parent help for these sessions, especially for putting boots on. 

Our lesson times are-

Tuesday 16th June, Tuesday 23rd and Thursday 25th - 11.45am -12.30pm

We will bus to and from the rink, leaving school at 11.20 am and returning at 12:45 pm. 

Thank you very much for all the recycling for our making table, keep it coming.

Next week, we begin our unit on length, so we would appreciate it if you could send along any rulers or measuring tapes just for a few weeks. Thank you. 

This week:

Monday - School Prayer, all welcome.

Wednesday -School Mass, all welcome.

Thursday - PMP, sports uniform.

Friday - Assembly and House Groups

From this week, we welcome Mrs Emma Stratford to Kopuwai, who will be covering my CRT and release days for the rest of the year.

Have a great week, and thank you for your ongoing support. Remember to email or speak to me directly if you have any queries. Thank you.
