it, and man the event. Please ring Amy on 866 3134 for more information.
Can children please bring along their ukuleles on Saturday morning for
the musical performance? The children

Senior Room Camp
We are
finalizing details about the Senior Camp to Waitomo. This will be either one or
two nights with some wonderful challenging experiences for those who go. I have
been corresponding with the Education Officer of the Waitomo Caves planning
this trip with more information to come in the next week.
Term 4 lunches
Playgroup
This term
playgroup will meet on Thursday afternoons from 12.30pm. Come along, everyone
is welcome.
Mercury Bay Club Performance
We have been
discovered and invited to be part of the community talent show at the Mercury
Bay Club late in November for three evenings. We are the first or second act to
allow children to go home at a reasonable hour. This is a marvellous
opportunity for our children to perform in front of a wider community audience.
This is a commitment for three performances and we need to know if your
child/ren will be taking part.
Senior Room Acrostic Poems
The children
were asked to include similes
Super noisy
Talks a lot
Every day new hair style
Long time BFF
Loopy about animals
Annoying all the time as do I
Friendly to everyone like a lost
rabbit
Really weird like me
Interesting like a mirror
screaming your reflection
Eats a lot of food
Never boring, she is as bouncy as
a kangaroo
Driven like a car on an open road.
By Thea
Working with people
It is fun, colourful, pretty yummy
Learning about plants
Dusty as a cloud
Exciting as if going to a party
Right there as if it follows me
Loud as an elephant
As sweet as a flower
Nice as a lolly in your mouth
Dancing with people at parties
By Sashka

Tiny as a dog
High levels of cute
Day that’s special
As cute as a kitten
You will think she is cute
