Matariki Bling Bling
Special thanks to all our staff and whānau who attended the great Matariki celebration held in town late last term. We were very proud of the work that our school roopu contributed to this event. Special thanks to ĀKAU for working with us on this mahi and the great work they did with the organisation.
Netball
This Saturday Netball begins at Lindvart Park. All players need to meet coaches at the Park by 8.30am with water and appropriate shoes to play in. Players will be given their uniform before the games start and must return them after their last game. We have registered only two Netball Future Ferns teams – a Year 3 and 4 team and a Year 5 and 6 team. Some girls who brought in their permission forms have not been attending training during lunchtimes so must do so before they can start playing on a Saturday. These are the names of players in the teams for this Saturday
Year 3 and 4 team Sparrows: Mapatongi, Dennis, Paris, Summer, Fern, Sarah, Paige, Amaia, Havani, Kaye'lani

Room 14
Last term Room 14 made our own representation of Tūhoronuku. We used dry harakeke from the garden because it was too wet to go and get raupō. First we practised the lacing technique we would need with string and pencils. Then we made our manu rere.
Learners Bike Track WorkshopOn Wednesday 29th July from 9.30am until 2.30pm a group of children from the Junior and Middle Syndicate will be taking part in a Learners Bike Track Workshop with ĀKAU. The purpose of the workshop is to get ideas from learner bike riders about what they would like to see in a new bike track development especially designed for younger members of our community. It is envisaged that a group of about 8 children will attend this workshop. A letter will come home with children selected.
