Inglewood Primary School

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

A huge thank you to everyone who came along today... the sense of community spirit is alive and well with Inglewood Primary School.

The new flying flow soft fall was shovelled as was the new soft fall within the junior playground. The plastic tubing was replaced on the chain, the sandpit was extended, new planter boxes installed and a mud kitchen area ready to be plumbed in.

Tree and shrubs from the front area were trimmed or removed to allow for the new Waharoa to be installed when it is finished being carved.

Plants were transferred or newly planted along the learner mountain bike trike along the length of the rugby field and also up on the football field weaving in and out where the new concrete flat track will be laid over the next few weeks.

Our hard working Board of Trustees, staff and parents enjoyed a sausage n bread for lunch.

Many, many thanks to all ( around fifty) people who came along to. Improve our outdoor environment.

The joy on the faces of the kids who helped today was priceless and we can’t wait to see the kids faces tomorrow who will be surprised to see the changes.

This week our paniti Students have been or are yet to visit the Kawaroa Rocky Shore. All the children have been investigating various aspects of our Rocky Shore and various aspects and impact to our local environment. Thank you to the super parental assistance with the trips over the week, without your support we would not have been able to extend our living classroom in this manner.

We are having a Staff Only Day this day. Enjoy the extra long weekend

For those families who are affected by the Targa Rally as in getting to or from school, please remember to ring the school office and let us know.

Mrs Ritchie and a group of Puke Haupapa students have been excitedly learning Japanese language and customs. Today a skype session was set up and whereby our students were te Brave Blossoms dressed in appropriate colours and the Japanese students were in All Black colours and performed our National Haka with pride. It was exciting to see the conversations happening between children with both cultures. Thank you Mrs Ritchie.

Respecting property and people.

All students will require sunscreen, hats, water bottles and be dressed up (in suitable clothing) in their house colours where possible.

On Monday we had four teams compete in this event. Each student completes a 1.5 km run in a relay around Kaimata St, Brooklands Rd, up the hill to the zoo and through the park to the finish line. The weather improved as the day went on and it was wonderful to be in Brooklands Park. All our students did exceedingly well in a large field of schools. Below are some action shots for the day. Hayley Storer, Kaitlyn Antill and Luke Richardson all ran two consecutive laps. The boys came in 5th. Awesome job.

We need supporters of the school to step up and man this crossing. It requires adult supervision and support. We will no longer have student wardens out on patrol if there is no adult. It is simply too complex to control. We need the community to get behind this as many voiced after the death of Emma Warren. We do not want any further close calls or tragedies. People felt strongly and now is the time for action. We want our children to be safe. Message, call or email the office. Just 20-30 minutes once a week could save lives. You can even share a slot with someone morning or afternoon. We generously had Lynn Leighton manning the patrol every morning over these last two years and we thank her for this. Now what contribution can you make? Our advice from the Police Education Officer, if the crossing is not manned by wardens all trafffic must yield to pedestrians by law.

As we come to the end of the year we like to ensure we have all the details of your child’s achievements over the year. If your child has competed at national level in any sporting or cultural field, we want to know. This is especially important when considering nominations for awards. We cannot act if we do not know. Send a list of your child’s achievements to the office, including the grade or placing, the date/s and the event or competition. Or email office@inglewood.school.nz. Thank you.

School Absence: If your child is absent from school for any reason, please leave a message on the school answer phone or use the School App. Please state name and reason why the child is away. Thank you.

Sports Uniforms: Please check your cupboards, under beds, drawers etc for any sports uniforms that belong to the school office. We have a lot not returned. Thank you

School Accounts: Please ensure all accounts are brought up to date by the end of the term.
