We need help for various jobs on the nights of production.

If any parents are able to help it would be much appreciated (and also a way to see it for free…) Are you able to help with:

·       Videoing the performance – we have video cameras, we just need two people per performance.

·       Cleaning up after the shows – general clean up in the seating.

·       Transport for moving props to and from Centrestage – Wednesday morning and Thursday evening.

·       Ushers – we need two people over 18 each night.

·       We are looking for a sponsor to help subsidise the cost of the flyer and tickets. Your product logo will be prominently displayed.

Ticket prices are - $12 adult, $8 child, $30 family (immediate family).

You can buy your tickets in the library before school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until production date.  Please support your child and encourage family and friends to buy tickets.   If you are unable to come in and get your tickets, please fill in the slip at the end of the newsletter.  If you require a family ticket please remember to state what this consists of, as we need to know correct numbers for our seating plan.   

If you are able to help with any of these requests, please let us know.  You can email principal@shsinv.school.nz or vstupples@shsinv.school.nz

Good luck to the following children who are representing the zone at the Southland Cross Country tomorrow. We hope they enjoy the experience: Tylee Fiebig, Kate Johnstone, Brooklyn McLeod, Shaun Clapperton, Devan Fiebig, Justin McLean and Cory Foleni.

Week 8 ~ In the words of Pope Francis...

Crossing the threshold of faith entails the ongoing conversion of our attitudes, the manners and the standards by which we live; voicing our thoughts in new, unvarnished terms, without papering over differences; offering the new form that Jesus Christ imprints on anyone whom He has touched with his hand and his Gospel of Life, encouraging one another to do something unprecedented for society and for the Church; because “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Cor. 5:17-21).

Class Happenings  ~  Room 8

Editing is currently our writing focus. It is the area of the writing process that continues to prove challenging because we confuse this with proofreading – spelling and punctuation.  Editing is where we read through our work to check that what we have written makes sense and creates impact.  It is not uncommon for us to cross out parts we do not like, and write a ‘better’ version somewhere else on our page using arrows or an asterisk.  While our books may look untidy, presentation is not as important as getting down our ideas although it still needs to be readable.  During editing, we may also add extra words to sharpen our ideas and give the reader more information so that they may create a clearer image in their mind. Often we need to share our writing with others so that, that they can help us with the ‘where to next’. We are learning as listeners to provide feedback that is positive and gives the writer ideas that will improve their piece of work.

As part of a recent writing task, we had to edit this story:  It was hot.  We went to the beach. 

Here are our improved versions:

It was a boiling hot day so we decided to go to the beach for a swim until it was night and had cooled down. As the sun went down, we drove home in the rattletrap car.  I heard the last soft wave sweeping past the shore.  Brooklyn

It was so hot that I was sweating so we travelled to the beach in a shiny pink limo to take a nice cold dip in the cool salty water.  I could hear the seagulls squawking and feel the tiny rough stones underneath my bare feet.  Laura

It was so hot, like I was in a boiling pan, so we drove to the beach in the car that was new and white, to cool down in the water.  The water was cool like it would be in a cold spa bath.  The rough rocks were bumping against my legs as the water pushed them along in the strong current.  Ben O

It was burning hot like I was on fire, so we travelled to the beach and stayed for an hour.  We heard the seagulls squawking, making such a racket.  On the way home, our old rusty ute broke down in front of a tree, in the middle of nowhere.  We had to call for a tow truck and fast.  I burst into tears because I thought we would never get home.  The wind was as cold as ice.  About two hours later we were fine.  Emma B
