Hello and Kia ora tatou.
Thames Valley Athletics
Congratulations
to the following athletes, who have made it through to the Peninsula Cluster
team to attend Thames Valley Athletics Day next Tuesday 22nd
November.

Isobel

Constable Catherine Sell visit.
Constable Catherine is the Community Officer
for our area. She visited this week to talk with the children briefly about
keeping safe, ways to deal with bullying and how to get help if needed. She
will return next year for a follow up visit and to do training with the bus
monitors.
Abacus Fundraiser
Order forms for Abacus calendars etc. are
coming home with this newsletter. We
have kept prices low to make these as affordable as possible while covering
costs. The children’s artwork is on display in the classrooms or you can submit
photos on line. Please have your order in by next Friday 25th Nov.
to ensure your purchases are delivered before the end of term.
Stationery Accounts and Environment Donation
Please find these attached also. Prompt
payment would be appreciated. Next year we will endeavor to send accounts out
more regularly, our apologies to families who may have ended up with a large
bill at this time of the year. The school donation goes part way to covering
the lawn mowing costs and is set at $30 per student, maximum $60 per family.
Lucky Book Club
And these too are attached and
due back to school by Tuesday 29th Nov. Mrs. Rhodes will be away
next week and so she has given you 2 weeks to get your orders in this time.
There are often some very reasonably priced books in the book club and we do
receive points from every order that we spend on library books and classroom
resources.
Books and Gifts Direct
There is a box of books and
household items in the staffroom which can be purchased also. These are quality
items at very reasonable prices. The school does not make anything from these
sales but if you are at school and looking for Christmas gift ideas you are
most welcome to use this service. The selection changes and orders are filled
fortnightly.
Donations for Uganda Orphanage
Thank you to those who have already
contributed. Maybe children could donate a small toy of their own for another
child who has very little at all.
Senior Room Camp - Monday to Wednesday 5th-7th December.
The Seniors are planning their camp
and more details will be coming home shortly. Costs are being kept to a
minimum, with accommodation being a sleep-over at school. On the Monday they
are travelling to Waihi for the Surf lifesaving Beach Education session.
Tuesday or Wednesday will be beach activities and a Banana Boat ride with the
alternate day being a hike up the Rangihau Road and river swim. Please keep
these dates in mind as we will be needing help with transport and supervision.
Friday Awards
Congratulations
to our star athletes: Ridge, Reo, Bear, Moana, Max and Leon; to Marama for
excellence in story writing; and to Heather Max, Leon, Moana, Awa and Clara for
excellence in Maths – probability. Some of these children are working well
beyond expectation for their year group. Fantastic effort everyone!
Countdown supermarket continue to be amazingly generous to our little
school. Every week they provide all the grocery items for the breakfast club,
fruit to supplement lunches and now they have sent a new toaster and a blender
for the breakfast club. Awesome!!!
Thank you to the team who came on
Saturday to help get the pool area
cleaned and ready for swimming. There is still some maintenance that needs
doing there and the water is not quite warm enough yet, but children may start
to bring their gear and we will get into the pool as soon as the conditions are
right.
Thanks too to Lloyd, who is repainting the lines on the tennis
court. The children have been using the court at every break and are getting
much more accurate at keeping the ball in play.
And thank you to everyone who has returned
their washed school t-shirt. Don’t
let them get lost at the back of the drawer!
MBAS 2017 Enrolments
Reminder: Year 6s need to return their
enrolment forms for next year’s technology classes if they have not already
done so.
Have a good week, from Jean and the
team.
