Final School Week

I really can't believe that we are in our last week for the year, 2 and half more days to go. I just want to say thank you  for all the support you have given to help your child with their learning. The children this year have been an amazing bunch of children and I have absolutely enjoyed every moment with them! I am quite saddened that I will not get any of you again next year. I am sure that whoever you have next year will be just as good! 
I wish you all a safe and happy christmas and a restful and well deserved holiday!

Week 7 Already!

Hello everybody! Thank you to all the parents who were able to help out with athletics last Friday. It was a very exciting day. Well done to those children who got placings in their events too!
I will be giving children portfolio assessment over the next few weeks. The reading results are looking good for most of the class. Just a few children who need to make sure they read as often as possible.

We have swimming on all week, so please make sure you bring your swimming gear in.

Monday: Library. No more issuing as Mrs O'Leary needs to do a stocktake.  So could all books be returned immediately.
We also wish our Kapa Haka Ahurei performers lots of luck, as they will be performing on this night.

Tuesday: Consultation with Indian community Meeting at 6pm.

Wednesday: Singing Practice.

Friday: Golden Time.

REMINDERS FOR PARENTS


REMINDERS FOR PARENTS
This week the school is hosting some community meetings.  The discussion will be on some aspects of our Charter and planned E-learning developments for the school for next year.  The meetings will be held in Room 15 and are scheduled for:

Wednesday 20 November         

General Meeting     3.15 pm 
Whanau Group       5.30 pm  

Thursday 21 November             

 General Meeting     8.45 am (meeting in Hall)          
 Filipino Community  3.15 pm
 Pasifika Fono         5.30 pm
 General Meeting    7.00pm

Tuesday 26  November             
 Indian Community   6.30 pm

Anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits. The same content will be presented at each meeting. It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting -  particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3.  This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).
