Welcome to week 6.

A big welcome to Blake who is starting school with us in Ngā Puna this week. A warm welcome to you and your whanau Blake. It is so lovely having you with us. We also welcome Donna into our Ngā Puna teaching team. Donna has been a Learning Assistant at Waimairi for some time now and we feel very lucky to have her with us in Ngā Puna.

Swimming
Next week will be the last week of swimming for our  kids. A reminder our swimming days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday's.

Friendship list
Our Classroom Connector Angela Godenho (Jack's mum) is compiling a 'friendship list' for us to distribute to our parents. This is a great way to organise play dates and foster friendships. Thanks for those who have already passed on details to Lynley or Tina. If you would still like to be on the list please email Angela on the address below. She will be outside Ngā Puna this Wednesday morning for those of you wanting to be added then.

 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
