Ngā Puna 2021

Kia Ora whanau Welcome to the last week of our 10 week term.  This week Tina and Tania are continuing to have New Entrant meetings with some Nga Puna parents. They will be in and out throughout the day. Kate Mitchell will be back in to cover and work alongside Vanessa and Sue.  Reports Some children will be bringing home a written school report on Thursday afternoon. This is dependent on how long they have been at school.  Cricket Last week, some visitors from a local cricket club OBC, came and played cricket mini-games with the Nga Puna children.
