Week 7 Notices

 Kia ora whanau,


Well, the term is racing along and it's now week 7. Here are a few notices and things to remember.

  • We had a lovely day on Friday at our Teddy bears picnic all dressed in our Pj's. Thanks to the whanau who came along to join us.

  • Monday is our library day. Please bring back your book each Monday so the children can return their books and get a new one issued. Feel free to decorate the library bag at home. This makes them easier for the children to identify.
  • Hot cross bun orders are due back tomorrow (Tuesday) by 10am. Thanks for your support with this, the money raised will go towards sports gear for our tamariki to use. 
  • Thanks to everyone who ordered online for our first week of online Ezlunches! We hope you found this easy to use, don't forget these will need to be ordered by Wednesday 9am for Wednesday lunch. They can also be ordered in advance. Head to www.ezlunch.co.nz
  • Friday the 19th March we will be having a non-uniform day. Instead of a gold coin, we are asking for each child to bring in a chocolate egg/bunny/treat. These will be made up into baskets for an Easter raffle!
  • Easter movie night for all the family is coming up on Friday the 26th March. Keep an eye on our facebook page for details.
  • Connect Waimairi are having their AGM Tuesday 16th at 7.30 in Wai-iti. All welcome.
  • Please continue to get your Orana Park permission slips in as soon as possible. It is coming around fast. We have had lots of offers of help which is amazing. We will email helpers in the next few days.

We are all feeling so settled in Ngā Puna and are working so hard. We are focussing on persevering when things are getting tough and showing kindness and manatitangā to others.

We are so proud of our Ngā Puna tamarki.

Kia Ora whanau. Welcome to week 6 of our 9 week Term. They certainly are flying by! A big thank you to our fabulous caretaker Darren who has our pool up and running. Soo lucky to have a school pool! Please send named togs and towels in a tog bag to school daily. We only go if the outside temperature is 16 degrees or above. Initially, we focus on safe entry and exit of the school pool, gaining water confidence, and moving in different ways through the water. Our official times are: Tania and Tina- Tuesday/Friday  Vanessa and Sue- Monday/Wednesday Even though these are official times the kids can bring their togs and towels each day just in case there is a free-swimming slot. The school pool will be open to use outside of school hours for families that purchase a pool key from this Friday 19th November.   A big thank you to Darren who has been working hard to get the pool and surrounding areas up and running in preparation for this! It is expected that the pool will be ope...

Autumn Exploring - Our trip to St James Park

Image
 What a wonderful time we had last Friday 'Spotting Autumn'. As always with school trips, the journey was as exciting as the destination! We travelled down the cycleway and found a most marvellous path to run down. We loved watching the children show each other Manaakitanga by encouraging and helping their friends up the steep bank. When we got to the park we enjoyed crunching through the leaves and finding conker seeds. The leaves were beautifully dry, perfect for rolling on! Here are some photos below of our trip.
