Term 2 Number 8
Wednesday 26th
June 2013
Hello / Kia Ora
HWB Plantings – Thank you to everyone who helped
with transport and supervision last Thursday to Hot Water Beach for our annual
planting on such a cold morning.
Over
the last 12 years we have helped to transform the land between the road and the
beach as you enter Hot Water Beach. This year we planted out 400 plants
including flax and cabbage trees as well as some pohutukawa and puriri trees
the school had received in the paper for trees scheme, but decided would become
too big for our school grounds. These
were planted along the new car park and up-graded track leading to the hot
pools.
Winter Sports – Transport is
required for our Years 4-8 next Wednesday 3rd July to Whenuakite
School. If you are able to provide transport, please complete and return the
attached slip at the end of the newsletter.
BBQ
sausages will be for sale during the day. Children can take food breaks during
rounds they are not playing in.
If
you are able to come along and cheer the teams on for part of the day or all
day, please do come. It is an exciting day, seriously competitive and lots of
fun. Come and watch the
children
display their skills at netball, football, uni hockey, rippa rugby and inside
games.
This
week we are building strategies for Connect Four and require some to practice with. If you have Connect Four at home we would
appreciate being able to use it for the next week. You may also be able to give your children a few winning hints for
noughts and crosses, checkers and snap!
Working Bee – our gardens and
grounds still need a bit of attention (mainly weeding the gardens) so we would
appreciate it if you are able to come down anytime to make a start.
Mercury
Bay Area School have invited our Years 4-8 to a special performance of their
school production, Back to the 80s next Tuesday 2nd July. We will be
leaving at 11.15am to arrive by 11.45am. The show will start at 12 noon, and
finish by 2pm. Once again if you can provide transport on this day, please
complete and return slip at the end of this newsletter.
Sports roundup - Congratulations to
Stella McQueen who made the Rep Netball team and travelled to Paeroa last
Wednesday to win the Thames Valley Schools tournament. What an achievement.
Congratulations
also to Zoe Jordan and Riley-Jean for receiving players of the day in Rippa and
netball over the weekend, and Antonio Rupeti-Anderson for receiving player of
the day in rugby.
