Spellathon Infomation
Dear Parent/Caregivers
We are holding a Spelling Bee over the next four weeks of Term 3, with the dual aims of developing our students’ skills and knowledge in the area of spelling and as a PTA fundraising initiative. The Woodstock School Spelling Bee involves the children learning their words before being tested in a written test. The senior children of the school will have the opportunity to be considered and compete for a place in The Great Waikato ASB Spelling Bee. More information will be made available to the Year 5 and 6 children.
All students will be given an appropriate spelling list of words to learn and a sponsorship form.
The Spelling Bee will be a component of our homework focus. It is expected that the children will learn their words at home to be well prepared for an excellent Spelling Bee score.
The students can seek sponsors who will sponsor so much per word, or can make a donation towards the event. Please encourage as many family and friends to become involved as you can.
When the testing is completed in Week 6 of this term, your child will come home with a Score Card from their teacher indicating the number of words that they got correct in their test. The students can then collect the money from their sponsors.
All money and sponsorship forms must be returned to the school office by Friday 23rd September 2011.
We look forward to a wonderful response!

Dear Parents/Caregivers
This Friday 26 August is Daffodil Day. At Woodstock School we are supporting this very worthy cause by having a dress-up day. Everyone is being encouraged to wear something yellow. There will be house points for those who join in the fun. We are also asking everyone to donate a gold coin to turn our class daffodil posters from yellow to gold. The money collected will be sent to the
Cancer Society to help people and families dealing with cancer.
Please give generously.
Yours Sincerely

Road Side Art Unveiling
You may have seen some painted poles decorating the side of the road on Casey Ave. These were designed, and painted, by a group of Year Five and Six Woodstock School and St Joseph's School children under the leadership of Nicole Glover. The six poles represent the six bridges of Hamilton, as well as the various well known events and activities that are carried out in the city. Each pole has a different theme:- the Hamilton Balloon Festival, children of Woodstock and St Joseph's schools, V8 car races, the Hamilton logo, waka/canoes on the river and the Waikato sports team colours. The poles are shaped in a way to represent the school's closest bridge, which is the Fairfield Bridge. The poles were officially unveiled on the wet and blustery Thursday July 14th, by Councillor Maria Westphal. The children involved were given certificates and prizes by Mayor Julie Hardaker.

Maths Home-School Partnership
Sign Up for the Maths Home-School Partnership Evenings
In Term 3 there will be four workshops for parents and families to learn about Numeracy and how they can help their children develop in Numeracy. The final forth workshop is a games night where the children attend with parents, and play maths games.
The dates are; Thursday 25th August, 1st, 8th, and 15th September. We will be sharing ways in which families and teachers working together can make an impact on Numeracy learning.
We aim to increase parents’ understanding of Numeracy and share practical ways of helping children to learn maths.‘You are your child’s first and best teacher. You have the skills and knowledge to help your childlearn and grow. Every moment for a child is a learning moment.
Taking part in the Home-School Partnership programme benefits your child, the school, and you. It’s simple, it’s free, and you can do it.’
We hope you can join usMargaret Bull, Susan Johnson, Julia McCaughan, Rachael Tangney, Phillip Otto and Kirsty Cathcart
