Learning to think, to do, to be

Ako ki te whakaaro, ako ki te mahi, ako kia ora ai te mauri

Our Vision: To provide a teaching and learning environment where of those involved: demonstrate respect, expect the best, achieve through opportunity, communicate actively & feel good and safe

We hope you had a fabulous extra long weekend, the time flew by so quickly. The seasonal temperatures are changing as the weather (almost hourly). It is hard to gauge as a parent and child what to wear in such changeable weather and as such, sometimes extra clothing is being brought to school. As a result of this, our lost property box is over flowing again, please make sure you are labelling you child's clothes, so they can be returned easily when found.

We are enjoying the time we are able to be outside, especially at interval and lunchtimes. The sandpit is a real hit and it is fabulous to see so many children of all ages having fun with this fabulous addition to the newly built pirate ship.

We are please to share the shade sails will be going over this area in the next week or two as are the shade sails over the back playground, all just in time for the increasingly sunny days. Please do remember our non-negotiables with regards to hats though.

1. Cool kids with hats can play in the sun - everyone else is in the shade
2. Cool kids with helmets can use their various bikes, scooters and skates - everyone else are on foot.

Over Labour Weekend, Anahera and Monique swam in Rotorua at the Central North Island competition. Both girls swam incredibly well-winning races in their 12/13 age group. Congratulations girls.

Next week is IPS Athletics Day (ages 8 - 13). We are heading down to the TET Stadium in Inglewood on Tuesday 3rd November first thing in the morning to compete in all of the track and field events. Children will be competing in the age that they will be at on the 31st December 2020. Parents are welcome to come and watch but if you could stay on the outside of the field that would be much appreciated. We will be starting at 9.45 and will be back at school by 3pm.

If any parents who may have some experience with any of the events would like to volunteer on this day please contact Tracy White.

All children will need sunscreen on, plenty of lunch and water bottles as it will be a long day.

Our first day back for Learning Partnership meetings with families and staff is Monday 1 Feb and our normal classes resume for the year Tuesday 2 Feb.

Happy birthday to Carly Edwin, Hannah Cairns, Eliyana Berry, Sophia Martin, Lilly Edwards and Elise Andrewes who are celebrating their birthdays this week.

Looking for something to do with your child from 4.30pm-6.30pm for the next 8 weeks. Bring a picnic mat, have a natter with other adults, while your child comes and plays! If you have a 5 - 12 year old - let them come and have a play in the park! We will have all sorts of equipment out that they can come and have a go with.

You just need to sign your child in, sit back and watch from your picnic mat while our Kelly Sports Taranaki coaches have gear available to play with. We really look forward to seeing you there!

Please click on the link to order directly from our school website or pop into the school office.
