Term 4 - Week 4

-

 Kia Ora everybody.

What a lovely week we had last week in our Ngā Puna space. It's great to watch the children share their interests with others whilst taking full advantage of what's out and on offer during learning choices. 

We are on the hunt for ice - cream containers that are golden in colour. We have plenty of the blue and white. If you have any floating around home please pass them on to us, it would be greatly appreciated. 

A big welcome to Waimairi School to Grace this week. Happy birthday Grace and welcome to Ngā Puna.

Ngā Puna visited Wai iti (the library) today. A gorgeous space in our new building, right next door to the coffee shop. It's great to have a library in use by the school again and the kids enjoyed visiting.

Up coming dates and events

  • Monday - library day (No issuing as of yet)
  • Tuesday - Kapa Haka Day
  • Friday - hotdogs and bike day (hotdogs can only be ordered online, see the flyer below as a reminder)
  • Friday the 13th of November - Canterbury Anniversary Day - Public holiday - No school
  • Last day of Term - Friday the 18th of December

Have a lovely week all.

As usual, any questions or queries please do come and see us.

Term 4 - Week 3

 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
