Welcome to week four

Kia Ora whanau.

Welcome to week four of our ten week term.

The weeks are certainly flying by!

Thank you to those of you who were able to attend our Nga Puna whanau evening/pool party last Thursday. It was lovely to connect with you all outside of school hours. The kids had a great time as did we.

Welcome to Lachie who is starting school in Nga Puna this week. Happy birthday Lachie.  You have already made connections with known friends and have made some new ones also!

Next week on Tuesday the 3rd of March, Nga Puna will be visiting St Andrews College. We are heading to the science department. A perfect place to encourage our curiosity! We will be walking down together as a group. If you are able to be a parent helper on this class trip please get in touch with either Lynley or Tina. We will be leaving school at 10:25 back in time for lunch.

Just a quick reminder to hit 'subscribe' at the top of this blog, that way any new posts will be sent straight to your inbox. This is our main form of communication where we share our learning and 'up and coming' events. Reminders are written at the top of your child's weekly reading log, as well as outside Nga Puna on the whiteboard.

Thanks for another lovely week all.

As usual, any questions or queries please come and see us, we're here to help.

Lynley and Tina :)

 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.

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
