Te OhongaAt the end of last term this Facebook live event was held. Our senior kapa haka group performed. A huge mihi to all tamariki and staff who were involved in a very successful event. Over 3000 views were reached on this day.
Under 9s and 11s Touch
The Touch Rally is this Thursday 15th October at 4pm. We have had so much interest that we will have two U9's teams and two U11's teams. We will only be registering those tamariki that have brought their permission slips back, as we are on very strict numbers and are unable to keep adding to the teams. These tamariki will be sent home the details today. Thanks to those whānau who have volunteered coaching, we will be in touch soon. Good luck to our teams this Thursday!

Term 4 Topics
Junior Topic for Term 4
Our topic is ‘Design and produce for others’. This is a Technologies based focus. We will
be looking at ways products are made, what materials are used and how we can make products of similar designs using different materials that can be given as gifts for others.
Middle Topic for Term 4
The middle syndicate classes will be working on a variety of visual art pieces this term. This work will be displayed in the hall on whānau day.
As part of our determination to localise our learning, we will be climbing maunga in the area. This will help our tamariki make links to the places and stories we have studied this year. This will happen in November but more information closer to the time.
Senior Topic for Term 4
This term the Seniors will be working on interest projects around making this term "Fun and enjoyable". We are excited to see what they come up with. They will be developing skills around self-management, collaboration, and communication.

There are two Board of Trustee Meetings planned for this term. One on 2nd November and the final on the 30th November. All welcome!
