Hi Everyone,

A fabulous day was had by all our children on Thursday afternoon. They were so proud to show of their new skills. 

It has been a busy week and I have not been able to give enough instruction on reading books, so only a new poem will come home this week along with the library book.

Next week our bookfair arrives and i will take the children through it on Friday to have a look at the books for sale and create their wish list. There is no pressure to buy. Book fair purchase times will be coming home next week. That being said, this is our last week of borrowing library books for the year.

The school council is running a fundraiser to buy equipment and seed to grow for our school garden on Thursday 26th of November. It will be $2.00 for an iceblock. A flyer will come home via skool loop. It is a cash only event- no kindo.

A wee reminder that Grandparents day is Monday 23rd. We are looking forward to welcoming grandparents and special friends into our class.

have a lovely weekend.

Jen

Thank you for all of the Week 5 donations that have been left in the foyer! 

Next week is week 6 and  the school council are collecting 'PACKETS' 

 

12 Nov 2026

We have noticed that an increasing number of children are being dropped off at school very early in the morning. Please remember that students can only be dropped off from 8:15am onwards. Prior to this time, staff are preparing for the day and are not available to supervise children.

If you require care for your child outside of school hours, please make use of before and after school care programmes.

At the end of the school day, children who are waiting to be collected should remain in the top court area. This is also the designated collection point for our New Entrant students.  

If you are unexpectedly delayed when collecting your child (after 3.15), please phone the school office to let us know where they are waiting and then we can arrange for your child to wait safely at the office until you arrive.

For safety reasons, children are not permitted to play on either the junior or senior playgrounds after school unless a parent or caregiver is present and supervising them.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a safe environment for all students.

Room 11 is getting a heat pump installed tomorrow (11/11/26) so we will be working in the hall all day. Please drop your child off to the hall tomorrow morning and pick them up from there as well.

Thanks,
Hayley

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your donations and supporting Gumboot day today. We learnt how to use pastels today, please feel free to pop in and admire our gumboot art. We did not manage to get to the library today, i will try to get us a slot early next week, so library books will stay at school this weekend.

Next week - halfway through the term already, a bit scary.

We have the fire brigade visiting us on Tuesday as a wrap up to our Firewise unit- this will be exciting and we are looking forward to sharing what we have learned with the firefighters.

Wednesday our friends from Waitakere kindy will visit us to find out what school is like and on Thursday we welcome our visitors for their second visit. They will join our class the following week.

On Thursday we welcome you all to join with us on the bottom field at 1:45 and follow your children as they show off their athletic skills. If the weather causes us to cancel you will be notified via skool loop and Seesaw.

Have a lovely weekend.

See you next week

Jen
