It is fabulous to see some sun today. Both Puke Haupapa and Pouaakai have had their respective Big Day Out or In this week.

Panitahi and Waiongana iti have also had their exciting days together.

It was awesome to see the smiles on their faces as the teams celebrate a final get together.

Thanks to the staff who made these events happen for the kids, they have had lots of fun.

We are excited to celebrate ALL of our children here at IPS today. There are various celebration activities planned where ALL children participate.

Many thanks to the REACH Reps and Whaea Mel for organising the afternoon of activities. The celebrations start at 12 noon. Thank you again to the fantastic staff who have worked hard to hold this event.

Last Friday we held our annual Dinner Dance with a difference. The event was absolutely stunning and enjoyed by all whom attended. Please remember if you have a child in Year 8 and would like some photos, please send a named USB stick to school and we will get the photos to you.

A HUGE thank you to ALL the staff who ensured our Y8's graduated in style, ESPECIALLY our Puke Haupapa staff - outstanding.

We have nearly finalised the placements of children for 2022. We have a meet the new 2022 teacher opportunity for ALL current and ALL new students to IPS on Tuesday 14 December at 2pm. Please note with a school our size, classes are not easy and we take the time to consider placements. Thank you for appreciating this in advance.

As said last week, with our exciting new teaching and learning spaces now on site, we are very delighted to further develop our whanau spaces. We are further embedding our sound researched-based learning (pedagogical) practices which truly incorporate our REACH values here at IPS.

Please note the year groups will have the teacher as above, however, will just be next to a different year level. This is an exciting opportunity for all our tamariki and staff to further embed our culture of REACH across the school, have skilled practitioners across levels next to each other to call on.

Please be on the lookout for your lovely child's report today. Inside the report envelop is also your child's 2022 stationery list.

2022 stationery lists have been sent home with all children's school reports this year. They will also be available on the website and emailed out to all families again in January.

All stationery can be ordered from Office Products Depot, Molesworth Street New Plymouth or online via their website www.nzschoolshop.co.nz. Your order will be sent, with other orders, to school the day before school starts and be waiting in your child’s classroom for their first day (if ordered before 20th January) or alternatively you can have this delivered to your home address. Adjust item quantities and add any optional extras as desired. Check out and pay (through the secure payment gateway) using a Credit or Debit card via Paypal, Internet banking or AfterPay.

Please note: No stationery is available to purchase at the beginning of the year from the school office. Any extra stationery will be available for purchase throughout the school year.

REACH Goal: Actively saying and doing the right thing (bucket filling)

Te Reo: Te kii me te mahi tika (peika whakaii)

Raffle Sheets: Please return all raffle sheets to the school office by 3pm Friday 10 December. The raffle will be drawn on Monday 13 December. Thank you.

New Members: We are also needing some new members for our group of fantastic fundraisers for the school better known as the Parentlink Committee. Our next meeting will be in the New Year (late January). We will be building up to our Annual School Gala at the end of March so many hands make lite work. We are also on the lookout for a new Treasurer. If you are interested in joining us please contact Kirsty on 021 404 430 we would love to have you join the team.

Like many schools we are having to advise you of end of year events which are affected by COVID restrictions. However we are delighted we can finish the year out under current L2.

Prize Givings will be held at IPS through the school day as our numbers are too large to have with parents/caregivers, there will sadly be no parents in attendance - we will video and take pictures.

We love our new way of strengthening our home-school partnership.

We start this off with a “Learning Transition Partnership Day” which will be Tuesday1 February.

On this day we will be having 15 minute slots with each student and family in their homeroom class.

This time slot is about informing the 2022 teacher of anything they will need to know about your child, socially, wellbeing, learning difficulties, or special talents and skills they may have. We will learn about your child’s and family’s strengths and ideas you may have to contribute to learning opportunities at school.

Our teachers will be focussed on each family, listening and planning for a successful 2022. We encourage all families to attend, even if you or your child knows their 2022 teacher. Our feedback from 2021 has highlighted that this is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive transition into our new school year. We look forward to seeing you.

Further information on how to book will be available next week.

Enrolment at Inglewood School is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on the school website or from the school office. All applications must be received by 3pm 25 January 2022 for Term 1 2022. If a ballot for out of zone places is required, it will be held on 27 January 2022. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. The board is now inviting applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Inglewood Primary School starting within Term 1 2022. The board has determined that 20 places from Year 1-8 are likely to be available for out-of-zone students within Term 1 2022. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. The application form for enrolment is available from the school website, or from the school office. Please note, that if the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Karen Patterson Principal

This week we have started using a new Student Management System called 'Edge'. The Edge App has some amazing functions. Some of these functions will not be available until 2022 and we will keep you posted when these can be accessed. In the meantime, please download the app and begin by sending all student absences through the app. Please also delete the "School App" as we will no longer be using this. Any queries, please pop in to the school office or email office@inglewood.school.nz.

Surf lessons for kids and teens!

My name is Karine Bödeker and I offer surf lessons for kids and teens at Fitzroy beach. I am a certified level 1 ISA surf coach and owner of New Plymouth Surf School.

Surfing is a great way for kids to learn about the ocean and gain new skills. Children from 7 years old can learn how to surf in a safe and fun way. For the kids surf groups, there is one instructor per 4 or 5 children, depending on the conditions. Therefore I am able to provide personal coaching for every little surfer. The kids surf lessons are always held in the white water waves, close to the beach. My goal is to make your kids happy and introduce them to surfing in a safe way. The lesson is approx. 1 hour water time and it takes almost 1,5 hours in total. Wetsuit and surfboard are included. Cost: $45 per person per lesson. Location: Fitzroy beach.

To book a lesson, please get in touch with Karine Bödeker 0273075842, newplymouthsurfschool@gmail.com
