Week 8

Wow what an amazing Gala we had, everyone looked like they really enjoyed the night. We would love to thank the hardworking PTA for providing a great night for our school community to come together.  We also want to thank all the amazing families and sponsors who supported the school in this successful event.  In a few weeks we will find out how much money has been raised for our school.  

Even the teachers got to try the bouncy castle.


On Tuesday we have rice day, this is a fundraiser for Caritas. The children need to bring in a bowl and fork and a gold coin donation. As a school we all come together and have our rice at lunchtime.  We remember how some children around the world only get rice to eat everyday, every meal. We talk about how we are so lucky to have the food available to us.  The children only need morning tea packed.  

All students are expected to participate. It is a good thing to allow your child to experience what having limited choices feels like and plain food tastes like. So please, unless your child has specific dietary requirements do not buy or provide a school lunch on this day.


The children are  enjoying technology  provocations that have been offered. 

Inside the toast has become more popular and they started the week with wanting the toast made for them, to now they confidently cook and spread the spreads on their own toast.  There are some amazing conversations happening during this time.  

A few parents have asked if this activity can continue in class, we are able to provide the bread for the toast, but if we are to continue the toast after this week we need supplies of spreads, so we will need donations of spreads. If you would like to bring in a jar or 2 that would be appreciated

Outside the children have enjoyed carpentry, they have been building some amazing creations. There is usually a queue for this as we don't have enough building supplies. It would be great to get some more supplies for these activities. Below is a list of equipment we need, so if you have any spare at home we would love to take them off your hands for our wonderful children to use

.

* Hammers

* Nails

* Saws

* Bottle caps
* Small pieces of untreated wood

* Anything useful on the carpentry table.

  Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,  We have made it to the last week of term!! Last year, term one wasn’t so successful, as we had gone into lockdown after only 8 weeks. It has been a great term. All of the classes have settled well with their new teachers and we, the teachers, have loved getting to know all of the children and families. Thank you for your support during this term with various school and classroom events. Take a look at some of the photos from last week: We were lucky to Senior Constable Regan in to talk to the children about safety in the car. He talked about having the correct car seats in for the children as well as the importance of ALWAYS wearing your seatbelt. It is always great to have these community leaders come in and see the children for a casual chat so that the children know that these people are out there to help us. On Wednesday, some children will be selected to go to a Principal’s morning tea. There are only 3 children per class chosen each term. It is ...
