Month: September 2018

 

Your children have all worked incredibly hard this term.  You all deserve a rest.  I hope you can all manage to spend some extra relaxing time together in the school holidays – I know it can be a bit of juggle for those of you who work through. Thank you for your incredible support.  We have a very special parent community in Room 5.  Happy holidays and keep safe.  (AND if you would like to share any holiday photos on the blog, we would love to see all the different adventures, please email to me).   Thanks everyone. 

Everyone needs to remember to bring a hat to school everyday.  It is a school rule to wear a hat outside in term 4.  It is a rule we are strict about so if your child does not have a hat they can not play out in the playgound – they have to stay on the deck in the shade.  We have a harsh New Zealand sun and this is a school policy that all schools in New Zealand follow in terms 1 and 4.  Don’t forget your hat!

Room 5 got the most kete cards (caught being good at morning tea and lunchtime) so we got the kete.  There are lots of activities and privileges that come with winning the kete.  A great way to celebrate a great term of learning.

I am looking forward to the annual teacher versus student netball game tomorrow at lunchtime. I will take our little people down with me to watch if they would like to as we traditionally thrash our year 8 netball team. I am not very competitive but as I am a mother of a sporty intermediate teenage daughter I will certainly be playing my part in making sure we have a major victory again tomorrow!  

We just love your Rebecca Rabbit Alexandra.  The fabric reminds me of Libertys in London!

Hi everyone.  Tomorrow is the last day of Term 3.  The children can come to school in their home clothes (mufti), they do not need to wear their uniforms. There will also be an iceblock sale after school at 3 pm in the hall.  The school does tend to descend upon the hall with huge gusto so I am happy for you to get ahead of the older children by picking up your little people a smidge before the bell.   Good luck!!!
