Daffodil Day
Our school was bright with shades
of yellow, orange and green on Friday to help raise money for cancer research.
Our little school raised $63.80 which Jenny took to the New World Daffodil Day
collection along with a poster of the children and daffodils they had made. We would
like to thank parents for their support.
Thank you Lloyd and Stella McQueen
who are halfway through clearing the mulch from the front of the school. We are
still looking for any other parents who can help move the pile.
Paid
Union Meeting
There is a paid union meeting on
the afternoon of Tuesday 13th September.
As nearly all the teachers from
the surrounding schools will be attending the meeting, MBAS and Whenuakite are
closing early and so the school bus will be running earlier.
If your child needs to go on the
bus, the bus will be leaving school at 1.15pm.
We will still be open and Mrs. Lee will be here, so you may prefer to collect your
child/ren from the school at 3pm.
AgriSea
Once again AgriSea New Zealand
has sent our school 250ml bottles of AgriSea Animal Health Tonic nutritional
supplement. This tonic will help your animal gain weight, improve rumen
development, have a shiny coat and be in all round top condition. If you need a
bottle, please ask your teacher.
Thames
Valley Cross Country
Details have been sent home to
the children who are part of the Peninsula Team. We wish you all luck next
Wednesday.
Our children are still running
through New Zealand and have now passed Ashburton, a total distance of 1179kms.
Dotterels – Student Report
Last Thursday all the children
were greeted by Nicky from Department of Conservation, who was speaking about the
reducing numbers of dotterels and what we can do to help their survival.
One of the ways is to make sure your
dog is on a leash while you are at the beach.
Nicky was surprised by the
interesting questions the children asked.
How long do they live for – the
oldest dotterel on record is 36 years, but the normal age is 20 years.
What do you do if you see a baby dotterel
without a mother – walk away and ring DoC if a parent dotterel doesn’t return.
How big can they grow – about the
same size of an oyster catcher.
How many eggs do they lay - dotterels
normally lay 3 eggs in their nest, but sometimes there is only two, or four.
Our children are working on individual
posters. One from each room will be
picked to be displayed on a Coromandel beach.
Book Club
Please get your orders in as soon
as possible to avoid disappointment if they have sold out.
Speed Trailer
The speed trailer will be outside
our school for the rest of the week. This is to help promote awareness to
drivers of their speed as they are passing our little school.
Have a good week,
from Jean and the team.
