Week 7 Home Communication

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

Kia Ora, 
Welcome to Week 7 of Term 1.  We hope you are getting excited about the Gala as much as we are.  This week, we will give children time to make signs for their stalls.  We welcome Emma and Dwayne to our team, who are two student teachers from University of Canterbury.  They will be working with the children over the next five weeks.

EGG ALLERGY
We have a student in the school with a severe egg allergy. We ask the whole community to support us with keeping this student safe by not sending eggs to school in lunches. Eggs in baking are fine but we request that egg sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs and bacon and egg pies are treats saved for home. 

GALA
The PTA still need parents to assist with activities.  Please contact Krissie Clark if you are able to help (see the email that has been sent out).

PATHWAYS
We are getting a variety of pathways in for marking, and it is always exciting to see what your children do outside of school.  Please keep having discussions with your child about what pathways they are doing.  Just a reminder that we shared at goal setting at the beginning of the year - black and white level gets a medal, and the two other levels (blue/white and red/black) will receive a certificate.

INQUIRY
This term, we are looking into the meanings of ecosystems and biodiversity, and how they relate to us and Silverstream Reserve.  If you are interested in making your own miniature rainforest, have a look at this link - https://craftingagreenworld.com/articles/terrarium-diy-miniature-rainforest/
