Our 7&8 Math Quiz Teams attended the Methanex Math Quiz this week at NPBHS and bth represented IPS well!

St Pats hosted our Kahui Ako EPro8 teams last week, we had 16 students attend and learn all about making gear boxes, then creating automated drum sets and fishing rods.

Our Evolocity Crew are busy building their electric car ready for pre race scrutineering in a few weeks. The car is running and the team are now working hard to make it look cool!

Boccia Tournament

On Thursday 15th August, 7 students from Stratford Primary School travelled to Inglewood Primary for a Boccia tournament with our He Awhi Taonga students. Boccia is a ball sport similar to Petanque and bowls and can be played by people of all abilities.

The students all had a wonderful time playing Boccia together and loved receiving their medals and certificates. We finished our tournament with a lovely shared kai celebration. Congratulations to all the students involved.

Thank you to Parafed and The Halberg Foundation for coming along and supporting us with the running of the event.

Reminders

If you are collecting your children from the classroom before 3pm, please remember to sign them out at the school office. This is health & safety requirement for our School.

Also, we would appreciate all parents who have children in the Panitahi classrooms, to please wait outside the classroom each day until the bell goes and the teachers release the children. We also ask that no pre-schoolers go into the classroom until this time also. This is a distraction for the children in the class and the teachers are wanting to tidy up and give out any last minute notices to the students at the end of the day.
