The costumes and food were beautiful. The students shared interesting presentations about their home countries. The Year 3-8 Swimming Sports were so well supported by parents and family members. The Explorers had their Swimming Sports yesterday. It is so good to see the progress many children have made with their swimming skills. We are fortunate to have the pool on site and to have so much use of it. Today the Juniors will share their skills. EASTER BREAK - This Friday 25th March – Tuesday 29th March Please remember that the Easter break always includes the Tuesday after Easter. MEET THE LEADERS – Head Girl Hi, my name is Katie Slater. I am very privileged to be your Head Girl for the first half of 2016. I enjoy a variety of activities including reading, swimming, debating and netball. I also love to dance – I dance most days after school and it’s basically my life. I would like to make an impact on the school by using my skills to help and to bring new and exciting ideas. I hope this year will be a fun and enjoyable year for everyone. FROM THE MIDDLE TEAM…Through our inquiry topic - Te Moana, the Middle Team classes have been producing a variety of different types of activities to meet the learning goals for this topic. If you get a chance go in to Room 13 and read their newspaper articles. They were being reporters and reporting about the whale stranding that happened in Patea. Room 12 wrote some responses about how it was not nice that a dolphin died in Argentina because people took it out of the water to take photos of it. Room 14 have created some art pieces of them snorkeling that you should go and see. Room 11 have found out that there is different coloured sand on the West Coast and East Coast of New Zealand. All classes have been finding out about the reefs and their names in Bell Block (Waiwakaio Reef, Mangati Reef and Puketapu Reef). Some comments from the children were: “we need the reefs to help protect the fish so they can produce more fish”, “we need to look after our reefs by only catching a small amount of fish”, “we need to not put rubbish into the sea”. READING TOGETHER WORKSHOP…Last year in Term 2 Bell Block School ran a very successful Reading Together program in the School Library. Reading Together® is a research-based workshop program that helps parents/whānau to provide effective support for their children's reading at home. There are pamphlets available at the school office that go into more detail about Reading Together. If you are interested in this program we are looking at running this again early in Term 2. There are four workshops spread over 6-7 weeks. We are also offering this to other parents in the community whose children have not yet started school. So if you know of any families that may be interested please spread the word! Please put your name down at the office if you are interested. Thank you. Roz Miller & Wendy Foster LIBRARY - PARENT HELP NEEDED!!...I have a lot of Junior reading books that need to be taped (not durasealed). This is an easy job that could be done at home and the more volunteers the quicker it gets done. If anyone is able to help with this please contact either the school office or Catherine in the library. Thanks. COMPUTER MONITORS…We are currently on the hunt for 6 computer monitors with DVA ports to set up a Computer Programming Suite at school. If anyone has any contacts in local companies that may have surplus monitors they are willing to donate, we would be most grateful. We will also require keyboards and mice with USB ports as well. PAYMENT OF FEES OR DONATIONS ONLINE…Parents/caregivers are welcome to pay any school fees or donations online, e.g. Technology, Camp fees, School Contribution etc. Our account details are: Bell Block School Trustee Board, TSB, 15 3956 0057371 02.
