Room 1 welcomes Seluvaia Ratoul to their class this term.  Seluvaia has moved down from the North Island with her family where she attended Levin East School. She has made a great start to her learning at Netherby.  Charlie in Room 3 is Seluvaia cousin, so she was lucky enough to know someone as soon as she started.

We hope you are enjoying your new school Seluvaia!

Welcome back!

Wow, the holidays have passed already.  Sometimes it feels like we blink and miss them.  I hope you all took the time to relax and spend time with your family doing exciting activities.  This term again is going to be super busy.  We are currently practising on a daily basis for our cluster cross country, which is to be held on Tuesday the 1st of May.  Well done to those children that are managing to run around the block 3 or 4 times that is a fantastic achievement.  We all look forward to watching you race on the day!  This term the Year 5 and 6 students will be taking part in the Mid Canterbury Music Festival we have been spending a lot of time learning the mass choir songs, now we need to get going on our own school ones. 

Pyjama mufti!

On Friday of Week 9 the student council organised a PJ mufti day. It was fantastic to be able to come to school in such comfortable clothing, however it did seem like the day took a long time to pass because we were all feeling so tired and just wanted to jump back into bed. A big thank you to Ms Bodie and the members of the student council for organising a great event.
