Tumuaki Korero
Kia ora e te whānau,
Only 3 weeks left of this term, it’s been such a busy time! And we have so many exciting things to come. We are really enjoying our Te Taiao sessions on a Monday, where our learning happens in the environment that surrounds us. Whānau and pre-schoolers are welcome to join these sessions. Please come and see me if you would like to know more about it.
Tomorrow our year 6s will be attending the Open Day at Bohally, whānau are welcome to attend as well. In week 9, we will be having an Adventure Week with some fun activities happening. The year 6s will also be attending the Technology Centre at Bohally on the Wednesday that week and on the Thursday night we will be celebrating our Year 6s at their Leaving dinner at the Grovetown Hotel.
Our final day of term is Friday 15 December and our End of Year Celebration and Prizegiving will be that evening from 5-6pm. More information will be shared closer to the event.
We would like to welcome Jackie Mealings to Spring Creek School. Jackie has been relieving in both classes this year and we have been lucky enough to secure Jackie for terms 1 & 2 in 2024 when Miss Harris goes on parental leave.
Next year our classes will be as follows:
Mrs Bryant will be with Awhi Class with Year 1-2 in the Studio Hub
Miss Harris and Mrs Mealings will be with Ngā Whetū Year 3-6 in Rūma Rua.
Covid is doing the rounds again, please ensure you keep your child home if they are unwell. If you need RAT tests, please see Ness in the office.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Ngā manaakitanga,
Cheryl Alderlieste
