Year 4 Newsletter
Week 7, Term 1
Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,
It is unbelievable to think that we are three weeks away from the Easter Holidays. However before that, we have an exciting Sheepworld visit next week. Thank you to all the many parents who have volunteered to bless us with their time and go on the trip. Please keep an eye out for more details early next week.
Peacemakers
At the moment, we are learning about making “Wise Way Choices” rather than “My Way” choices”. We discovered that the way we respond to conflict is a choice we make and the choice results in either a good or bad consequence. The children were encouraged not to make choices based on their feelings and selfish desires, but to rather ask Jesus to give them the wisdom to make choices that will please Him. James 1:5 “ If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.”
Sheepworld
Our Year 4 Sheepworld outing takes place on Wednesday, 22 March. Please ensure your child arrives at school on time on this day and is wearing full school uniform with closed toe shoes.

Matthew 17:20-21
He replied, “Because your faith is much too small. What I’m about to tell you is true. If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, it is enough. You can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there.’ And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Lots of love and blessings to you,
Ngā Mihi Nui,
