Hello / Kia Ora
Correction
Correction to last week’s newsletter – The Bay’s Best 2015 auditions are
at the Mercury Bay Area School this Saturday. Please meet outside the school
office by the flag pole at 1.45pm to tune up and get organised. If you cannot
make the audition, please let Jenny or Justine know.
The annual school Cross Country will be held on Tuesday 11th
August at Whenuakite School.
The Thames Valley Cross Country will be held in Whitianga on Wednesday
16th August for those children who qualify.
We will walk the courses first at 11am, and then the racing begins.
Parents are welcome to come and support the children. Racing starts around
11.30am and finishes around 1pm.
We are training every day for this, so children will need clothing and
suitable footwear for running games and training.
As we will be requiring transport to Whenuakite School, a transport slip
will be in next week’s newsletter to be completed and returned.
Our
Place Our Stories
Continuing with our integrated unit study on Our Place Our Stories the
children have been working in groups on various activities involving different
types of media.
Yui and Myah are working on their Maori Calendars. They are putting the
different moon phases in then will record when it is good to go eeling, fishing
and to plant seedlings.
Valo has been learning how to use google earth to look at Our Place. He is
pointing out where he lives.
Moana is using a software programme called puppet pal, to create a
puppet from her face to use in a play about a Coroglen School pupil.
Yesterday we all braved the weather and walked some of the heritage
trail when the weather allowed. The museum was fabulous and we highly recommend
that families go and have a look regularly. The children enjoyed getting hands
on in the classroom exhibition.
Head
Lice outbreak
There has been a small outbreak of nits in the school. Please check your
child's hair. If you find nits present, please keep your child home until they
have been treated.
Petition
for safer roads in Coroglen
We are asking for a slow speed zone of 50-70km instead a dangerous 100km
open road. Double yellow lines stopping passing on the main road. Children
crossing signage and repositioning of bridge sign causing less confusion.
Parents wanting to sign this petition for safer roads in Coroglen can
come in and sign it in our staff room.
Coroglen
Playgroup
Currently there isn’t anybody running Coroglen Playgroup. Unfortunately
if nobody wants to take over running the playgroup, it will officially close on
August 19th. All remaining Ministry funding and all equipment and
supplies ever purchased with Ministry funding have to be returned. If you don’t
want to see Coroglen Playgroup come to an end and would like to get involved,
please contact Hazel 021 924 841.
Stationery
Accounts
Stationery accounts are attached. Your prompt payment would be greatly
appreciated.
Have a wonderful week
Penny and the team
