Week 10 Home Communication

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

Kia Ora, 
Welcome to Week 10 of Term 2. This is our last week of a very busy and great learning term.  Thanks for your support throughout this term.

LEARNING CONFERENCES
We look forward to the learning conferences, where your child gets to spend approximately 20 minutes with you and share their learning.  At 15 minutes, our phone timer will go, to indicate that we need to finish within the next few minutes.  As we have back-to-back conferences, we do need to stick to our times.  Please have phones on silent.  Thanks for your consideration with this. You are welcome to come in and wait at the opposite end to where we are holding our conferences, to escape the cold.

Please take note of the early closure on Wednesday 3 July.

Learning conferences will be held:

Week 10
Tuesday 2 July             3.10pm – 7.30pm
Wednesday 3 July       1.30pm – 5.30pm

FIELD PLAYING
Due to our winter conditions, if your child wants to play on the grass, they will need a change of mufti clothes from now on.

SILVERSTREAM
Dear Parents

We are planning a trip to Silverstream Reserve on Tuesday 2 July from 10am – 12.30pm. We will travel to and from the Reserve by bus and there is no cost for families.

Children are encouraged to come to school in warm mufti clothes with gumboots or strong shoes. Bringing a uniform to change into afterwards would be ideal.

We would love some parents to accompany us on this trip. Please let your team teachers know if you are available to help out.

NZ Playhouse Show

NZ Playhouse Show coming to Clarkville

For the last two years we have had NZ Playhouse visit the school to perform for us in the MPF. Their performances are of a high quality and have had us all laughing in our seats.

We are pleased to welcome back New Zealand Playhouse for their show The Tortoise and the Hare.

After beating the Gingerbread Man in the finals of ‘Who’s the Fastest Of Them All?’ everyone knows The Hare is the undisputed ‘Master of Faster’ and if they don’t they soon will thanks to the Hare’s boasting and gloating about their momentous momentum. In fact, the only creature the harebrained Hare hasn’t beaten in a race is the Tortoise, but why bother when everyone knows it would be a walk-over and a run-over. Or maybe not.

New Zealand Playhouse will be coming to us on Wednesday 12 June at 1.50pm. The cost is $5 per student and this amount will be added to your account.

Any parents who would like to join in the fun would be very welcome. The show will finish just before the end of the school day. There is no cost for parents but we would appreciate you arriving before 1.50pm to avoid interrupting the show.

Thank you for your support.
