Chewing/bubble gum

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder to please not give your child chewing gum or bubble gum to bring to school. We do not allow it here. If any child is caught with it they will be picking up rubbish at lunch time.
Regards,
Mr Henderson.

Week 4

Hi all,

Wow! We are nearly half way through the term and there is still lots to do. On Monday I am taking some Year 6 students to a science and technology competition at St Kentigern Boys' School. On Tuesday some Year 6 students will visit Blockhouse Bay Intermediate. On Wednesday students will represent New Windsor School at the Winter Sports Field Day, which was postponed this week due to the weather.

Stars of the Week are Sunny Cho and Markell Morris-Taualofa for their hard work and using their 'inside voices'. This is always a struggle when students are excited and there are so many in a classroom. Well done Sunny and Markell! The PB4L draw winner is Faryal Turkistani.

Have a great weekend and stay dry.

Mr Henderson.

Week 3

Hi all,

I don't know about you but I am fed up with this wet weather. It is unsettling for the children too, being stuck indoors all day. There is still money outstanding for author Stu Duval. Also, some students need to return permission slips for the Winter Sports Field Day next Wednesday, Blockhouse Bay Intermediate trip and Tri Star Gym. Please return these ASAP.

Stars of the Week are Paula Daunakamakama for his fantastic writing and Esther Faamoe for her enthusiasm in delivering milk. The PB4L draw winner is Aesia Wazir Shah.

Have a great weekend!

Mr Henderson.

Week 2

Hi all,

We are at the end of another week and what a week it has been! The Book Week and Writers' Festival has been enjoyed by all children with lots of engaging speakers and activities. Thanks to all the parents who came along last night to view your child's spectacular writing. I know how impressed you all were with the high standard. Remember it's the big finale tomorrow - the Book Character Parade. Your child can come along as a book character and join in the parade.

Stars of the Week were Faryal Turkistani and Jiya Shah for their impressive writing. Lucretia Day won the PB4L draw for the fifth time. Well done girls!

Mr Henderson.

Week 1

Hi all,

The students of Room 7 had a great start to Term 3. Check your child's home study on Monday for an outline of what is happening at the Book Week/Writers' Festival next week. There is still a lot of outstanding money to be paid for Stu Duval on Monday.

Stars of the Week were Jeremaiah Wirepa-Terei and Muhammad Naem Baig. These two students are new to New Windsor School and have settled in well. The PB4L winner was Rhea Chhana.

Have a great weekend.

Mr Henderson.

Book Week/Writers' Festival

Hi all,

Next week is the annual Book Week/Writers' Festival. As part of this we are being visited by author-illustrator Stu Duval on Monday. There is a cost of $4 which is very affordable and I know, having seen Stu before, your child will get a lot out of his visit. Thanks to those who have paid. If you haven't can you please do so tomorrow? Your child will need to return the permission slip too.

Mr Henderson

Week 10

Hi all,

Happy holidays! We made it and can look forward to a relaxing two week break - well you and your children can. I'll be going to Coromandel for a week then will be back into it. I have had a great term with your little treasures. They are such great children and a real pleasure to work with.

Stars of Term Two (students who consistently worked hard all term) are Lucretia Day and Aesia Shah Wazir. The PB4L draw winners are Suki Murthi and Jiya Shah.

Have a great holiday and I'll see you on July 22nd.

Mr Henderson.
