Special Welcome Back
This week we were excited to see Whaea Tyme, teacher in Room 9, return from Maternity leave.
Reports
Thank you to the whānau who have taken the time to give us some feedback about our Term 2 reports. We appreciate all your comments and are considering how we plan our Term 4 end of year reports given this information.
Healthy Lunches
Yesterday, Pita Pit brought a new menu item for some of our tamariki to sample. It was a creamy pasta with ham, broccoli and cauliflower. We had lots of happy faces enjoying the pasta and saying it was yum! This will be added to the menu from Pita Pit next week and we will also continue having Subway 2 days a week. Thanks Subway and Pita Pit!
