Welcome to week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of Term 1.

We will be sending books home this week. Children will bring a different book home each night. Your most important job is to share the book with your child and not to stress or worry about the 'how' they are reading - easier said than done we know! Enjoy the conversation that occur when reading and celebrate their fabulous reading together. We have a long ways ahead of us to work on the 'how'.

Family night coming up - Thursday the 20th of February
Come along to our school pool on Thursday the 20th of February 5pm - 6:30pm for our Ngå Puna whånau evening. Bring a picnic rug and dinner for your family and  enjoy a swim. A chance to connect with families in our Ngå Puna space and perhaps put some names to new faces. Bring P.J''s after swim if you like, ready for bed when home.

Thank you for such a wonderful start to our school Term. We have delighted in seeing the smiles and confidence grow in your children.

As usual, any questions or queries team please come and see us.
We are here to help.

Many thanks
Lynley and Tina

Picnic at Edgar Macintosh Park tomorrow? (Friday the 18th) - Message from a parent.

  Kia ora koutou, Please see a lovely invitation for a get together after the assembly tomorrow. Unfortunately the teachers can’t attend as we still have to be ‘at school’ til 3!! Thank you so much to the parents who had this idea  a couple of nga Puna mums are going to have a picnic and paddle at Edgar Macintosh park tomorrow following the final assembly. All welcome. Would you consider sending a message to the nga Puna parents for anyone that is keen? I thought it might be a nice opportunity to meet one another and swap numbers for play dates before the holidays etc.  Many thanks Lynley, Fiona, Tina, Sue and Vanessa

 Kia Ora families. Thank you so much for your support and understanding as we moved into our junior  Ngā Puna space at the end of last week. Yet again the resilience of our children and willingness from them to accept change is just outstanding. You should feel very proud of them all. We had a wonderful day in our new setting today. It was lovely to re connect with friends from the beginning of the year and with our other Junior teachers.   Our children walked through our lovely new building today to make connections with things that are the 'same' and things that are 'different'. The general consensus was people are the same, places are different! They did so well.  This Friday the 30th of October is our offical opening of our new school with ribbon cutting and all! It starts at 1:30 pm. You are welcome to take your child home early after this event. See the note below for more info. Also below is a copy of the note sent home today. Have a lovely short week all.
