Friday:       Playtopia Trip!!!!!

A nice quiet week this week - for more than one reason.  The big kids are off to camp this week.  Year 6 leave for Auckland on Monday and the Year 5s are off for an action packed three days on Wednesday.  We like camp week.

Playtopia Trip
We are very excited about this trip.  The cost of admission is covered by last term's soup/nachos fundraiser but we need $3 each for fish and chips.  Mrs T and Mrs P are collecting this in the classes.

Nativity Play
Great job learning your words team! Keep up the great work.  We already have a large number of our cast in costume for practices - our Year 2 Crew have a fantastic support crew.  We are on the road next week to perform at Cantabria and Fergusson Rest Homes.  We'll need the whole cast in costume by then.  If you are stuck for ideas please come and see us.

Shepherds/Joseph/Wisemen: Cheap material from AJs or Spotlight can be turned into a costume really easily. Chop a strip off for headgear and make a hole for the head.  Tie a ribbon, scarf or an extra strip of fabric around the head. Add a piece of rope or a curtain tie around the middle and hey presto you're a shepherd! Add a crown and a cape for a King.  I'd also recommend a plain long sleeved t-shirt underneath and a short pair of shorts - we don't want to see any uniform.

Angels and Mary: Wear a white dress or cut white fabric (see shepherds above).  Add a pair of wings or a blue veil and taadaaaa!  Angel wings and halos can be bought very cheaply from most $2 shops or The Warehouse. 

Mystery Message: six sick hicks 
Lots of people in last weeks draw - Mrs T will pull out a winner on Monday morning.
