Term 4 - Week 2

-

 Kia ora families.

Welcome to week 2.

It's finally here,  moving week!

Ngā Puna visited our building (currently called Ti Kouka... where the office is) on Friday to have a 'practise' at what our new space will be like.  It felt so good being back in our original space and we are all really looking forward to being back with Sue, Vanessa and all our other Ngā Puna friends. This Thursday and Friday the 22nd and 23rd of October are teacher only days as teachers will be setting up spaces ready for school on the Tuesday after labour day. We look forward to seeing you all Tuesday morning in our new but old to us! space.

Thank you for engaging with our rhyming, segmenting and blending activities that are coming home in the K.I.T books. It's great to see the children so eager to participate during their reading times.

Open afternoon

You are invited to take a look around our new building from 3 to 5pm on Thursday 22 October. Connect Waimairi (PTA) have arranged entertainment. There will be a sausage sizzle and chocolate wheel. The new coffee shop will be open too so bring some $ $$.

 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
