Wahanga Tuawha
Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome back to Wahanga Tuawha (Term 4). I am going to use this blog as my newsletter for the term. Hope we are all refreshed and ready to head into our final term for the year. We will be having prize giving and report conferencing in Week 8, so keep your eyes open for reminders in the school newsletters.
We are still very much focused on our Garden to Table mahi, and are in the process of starting up a weekly gardening tip show, with live hosts and handy hints for all up and coming enviro-friendly gardeners.
We still have a very large mural to finish as well, this will involve many after school hours and very steady hands. Still waiting back for our entry into the Resene Masters Mural Competition so we can get our paint for half price.
We have new arrivals to our class (6) and would like to welcome them all safely into our environment and I know that we have some very capable year 6 students that will tuakana/teina our new classroom buddies.
KWS is having a gala day on the 24th November so any donations towards the hangi - eg cabbages, kumara, potatoes, pumpkin etc will be greatly appreciated. Also, we will be having a white elephant stall which can cater for small appliances and furniture. These need to be dropped off a couple of days beforehand, so things can be sorted and priced.
At the moment we haven't got any trips planned, but will let you know if this changes, as we were going to try and enter our kapahaka roopu into the Whangaruru Cultural Festival (but let you know more when I find out).
Remember now is the time for Kutu's as swimming is upon us. Swimming is NOT an option, it is compulsory. Every child should know how to swim to save themselves or someone else. Please encourage your child to pack their swimwear. These can stay at school until the end of the week, then home for a wash, if this helps.
Have a safe and happy term and let's do this.
