Term One - Week 10

 Kia Ora Whanau.

Welcome back to week 10 of our 11 week Term. We hope you had a wonderful Easter break and spent it enjoying time with family and resting. We certainly enjoyed hearing  from our children today. They were full of smiles and stories of Easter bunnies and time away from school. A lovely short week this week. Next week we have another short week with Friday the 16th of April being a teacher only day. Here are a few reminders and 'whats coming up' .

  • Monday afternoon- library 
  • Tuesday afternoon - Kapa Haka
  • Social Studies Finale - Next week Thursday the 15th - We are looking forward to welcoming you to see our Term One Social Studies learning. The nice thing about our end of term finale events is that you get to wander through all our learning neighbourhoods, not just your own child's one. Come on in from 12pm on. Enjoy the new landscaping, eat from the wide variety of food trucks and enjoy the entertainment we have arranged for you. Bring wider family and friends and make it a social afternoon out.
  • Staff only day Friday the 16th of April
  • School Holidays begin Monday the 19th of April
  • Term Two starts Monday the 3rd of May
Have a lovely short week all.

Any questions or queries, as usual, please come and see us.

Many thanks

T & T.

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.

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.
