Newsletter, Term 2, Wk 1

Hello / Kia Ora

Welcome back to Term 2. We hope you all had a great break and are re-energized for a fun exciting term 2.

We have attached a teachers’ timetable so you will know who is teaching your child throughout the day. This is only for term 2, and will be reviewed next term.

On the back of this is the calendar for term 2. Please remember to fill in new events as they come through the newsletter.

Beach Trip

The junior room children are all looking forward to our beach/foreshore study at Kuaotunu Beach. We have enough transport for the children,thank you parents, however if you would like to come along, please feel free to.

We will be leaving the school just after 9am, and will be back in time for the afternoon bus. Please make sure to bring suitable clothing including covered sneakers, a hat, packed lunch and large bottle of water, asthma inhalers (if required) and sun block.

Skipping

During the term, our children will be skipping for fitness in preparation for the Winter Sports in July and the Jump Rope for Heart later this term. Date is still to be confirmed for the Jump Rope for Heart. Suitable footwear is a must, so if they have sneakers these will be ideal for both skipping and court hockey.

Winter Sports

Winter Sports will be held at Whenuakite School on Tuesday 5^th July. We have begun training for this. Any volunteer parents who are able to come down and teach our children Court Hockey, Soccer or Rippa please let us know. Thank you to Kerrie Macdonald who has already put her hand up for the Netball training.

Attached is the new Lucky Bok Club brochure. These are due back by Wednesday 11^th May.
