Term 3 - Week 10

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. It was a lot of fun! A flyer went home with some children who showed an interest in playing more cricket this summer.

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...

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.
