Term 2 Junior Trip
The juniors classes, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 9 are proposing a trip to Auckland to see the show 'Annie" in June. This is a great opportunity to see the Arts in action, dance, drama, music as well as the Visual Arts. It involves social interaction with other classes and will promote lots of language. This experience will help enrich the children’s language development. There will be a contribution for each child to cover transport, ticket and overnight stay in Auckland. Classes will also be holding fund raising cake stall and sausage sizzles.
If you have any concerns or suggestions, please contact your class teacher.
Term 2 Topic
Teachers have discussed a broad topic for Term 2 called Planet Earth and Beyond. The topic is a broad Science topic that classes will base some of their term 2 work around.
Cycle Track Ride and Monument Visit
Due to the weather yesterday this activity for Senior classes was cancelled.
Pre-enrolments
It is important that we know if you have a child in your Whanau who is turning 5 this year and will be attending our school. Please contact us or come and see us if you do.
Bring the child’s birth certificate or passport and their plunket book or their before school check information if you can.
School Polo Shirts
We are pleased that these have finally arrived. Rather than sending orders home with children we would prefer if Whanau called in to collect orders please. Remember uniforms are not compulsory yet but if your child wears a school Polo they must wear it with a black bottom please. Sweatshirts are still being organised.
If you wish to order a school polo shirt please call into the office to arrange time payment or pay $35 and get one polo.
Zero Waste
In term 2 Sue Woods from the Zero Waste programme will be visiting classes in the first week to raise awareness of issues faced around waste management and making changes to daily practices. This will involve looking at lunchboxes and ways to reduce packaging.
