Week 9 Notices

Thank you to all the parents who have helped out at school this year. We appreciate everything you do as we could not do many of the activities without your help. We wish you all a wonderful summer holiday. To those families who are moving on to new places and schools, we wish you a safe journey and all the best in your new locations.

Raffle Draw: Please send all books back on Monday.
This will be on Monday at 11.00am. Please note the change of time so that late raffle books can be processed.

Swimming:
Room 15 will be swimming this week.

Homework:
We have not set homework this week, but many children have not completed the homework from the last two weeks and this can be handed in this week for marking. We will be sending home a letter from Studyladder with the portfolios on Friday, which outlines activities that can be completed over the holidays.

Please keep up reading over the holidays as we find many children slip back in their reading levels over the summer if they have not kept up reading over the six week break.

Reports and Portfolios:
These will both be sent home on Friday this week.

Picnic:
Friday 13th at school. We will begin the day with a whole school special assembly at 9.00am, Room 15 will be presenting this assembly. After assembly, we will begin our middle school picnic and fun day. Our picnic will be at lunch time and all classes will have their own shared lunch. Rooms 14 and 15 will combine for their shared lunch. Children will eat their own morning tea. We have a selection of fun activities chosen by the children which each class will take part in throughout the day. If the weather is wet, we have back up activities to do inside.

Children can wear mufti and will need to bring swim wear, sun top for protection over togs, a towel, a water gun if you have one (named please as many look the same!), hat, sunscreen, morning tea (individual), drink and food for a shared lunch.

Week 6

It was great to see so many Grandparents and Parents at school on Friday.  We are very lucky to have such supportive people in our community. 

A big thank you to all those who contributed to our shared lunch on Friday.  We had a lovely farewell for Sam from Room14 and Cody from Room 15.  We wish you boys all the best.

REMINDERS FOR PARENTS

Wednesday 20 November          General Meeting     3.15 pm 
                                                    Whanau Group       5.30 pm

There is a range of times, anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits.  It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3.  This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).
 
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!!
