Last week of 2017

Term 4, Week 8

Kia Ora whanau,

I can't believe it!!!!!  Only 5 more days of school for the year!!

It was amazing the school float came  2nd in the school category. Kaikohe East came first and Ohaeawai school came in 3rd!!  Congratulations to all the schools that entered and who won a prize.


We have  school prizegiving  this Monday 11th December , starting at 11am.  It would be simply fantastic to see lots of whanau from room 8 who can come support and cheer on their tamariki for showing progress and achievement through the year.

Next Wednesday we are walking down to Santa's Ghotto after morning tea.  We will be back by lunch time.


Have a simply amazing week, I hope to see you all on Monday!!

Term 4, week 7

Kia Ora Whanau,

Today was the Kaikohe christmas parade.  All the junior school put together a wonderful float based around celebration of cultures!!

Well done to Mrs Millar, Mrs wihongi, Mrs Bingham  for all there fantastic effort. Room 8 made some pretty glittery stars to make the float more stunning!

Next Tuesday we are having parent/Teacher interviews at 3.30. If you wish to see me please ring the school and make a time with Whaea Chanelle.

Only TWO more weeks to go. Everyone is getting tired but we are on the christmas countdown at the moment!!

 Our school prizegiving is Monday 11th December at 11am. It would be lovely to see  lots of whanau supporting the tamariki from room 8.
