Week 5 Home Communication

Whiriwhiria kia eke panuku! 
(Choose to be more!)

Kia Ora, 
Welcome to Week 5 of Term 1.  In the next week, you should receive goals for Term 1 home, and a reflection post about Relating to Others while at Hanmer Springs Camp.

INQUIRY
Thanks to those that joined us at Silverstream Reserve for our school picnic on Thursday night, and getting to know our local reserve better.  Our Inquiry this year is based around the environment, and we will be spending time at this reserve to learn more about looking after the world we live in.

HANMER SPRINGS CAMP
If you are interested in viewing heaps of photos, please contact one of the parents that went on camp, and they can connect you to the Messenger site where you can view these.  We also have a display of some photos and 6-word narratives in our team room.

DEVICES
We really appreciate that if your child has a device that they are able to use and bring to school, that they do so, as we use these a lot with our learning.  We do have some at school for those that aren't able to do this.

GALA ART
This coming week, we will be working on our art for the Gala auction.  The PTA have kindly purchased various canvas boards, and the children have been shown some ideas.  You are welcome to chat about possible ideas as well.

SWIMMING
A notice has been sent home about the swimming sports.  We are unable to give you exact race times - please refer to the notice.

GALA
Our Gala this year is on Friday, 22nd of March.  Two PTA representatives came in on Thursday to talk about stalls that your children are interested in running.  Please have a chat with them, and send back the permission notice.  We do require parents to monitor their children, especially with setting up of stalls, the initial running, checking in, and completely packing down their stalls (including taking all rubbish and belongings home).  As we are environmentally conscious, we do promote rubbish free stalls.
