Happy Children = Happy Teacher

Term 4, Week 4

Kia Ora Whanau/Caregivers,

Wow, I can't believe it is the end of week 4 already. WE only have 25 days left of school until we finish the 2018 school year!!    I'm sorry I didn't do a blog post last weekend, I was coming home from Auckland after taking my children Chelsea and Mathew to Sam Smith's concert at Spark Arena!

Our last day of school is Friday 14th December 2018  @ 3pm

We have a lot going on over the next 5 weeks!!

Next week there is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday 13th December- Teachers are  having rolling strikes through out New Zealand over the coming week. Thank you for understanding and providing care for your Tamariki on Tuesday.  I look forward to seeing you all back at school on Wednesday.

Also from next week, we are swimming every Monday.  Tracy from Sport Northland is coming in to educate the tamariki around water safety!

We should be swimming around week 7 when the water gets warmer-  Monday 26th November.

Our SWIMMING days for term 4 will be MONDAY, TUESDAY and THURSDAY!!
Your child will need their togs, towel,  swimming cap- I have one for them, all in a plastic bag please.


Our Trip to Waitangi is  planned  for Thursday 22nd November. Thank you to all the parents  that have offered to support us on the trip. I will get back to the 3-4 parents that  will be coming.

Have a wonderful weekend, see you at school on Monday.
