We are having a water afternoon, weather permitting.  Please brings togs and a towel, plus water guns. If anyone has a waterslide or paddling pool they would be able to lend, this would be great and please let your classroom teacher know.

Wednesday 7 December

This is our trip to the wharenui at Dunstan High School.  We will be walking to Dunstan at 11.30am, and having the powhiri at 12.00.  Some Room 7 boys will be sharing their Mihi. After this, we will have a shared lunch with some Dunstan students, and rotate around some activities. It would be helpful to have some parents with us on this trip.

Everyone needs to provide a small plate of finger food for lunch. (The food is our koha). Please bring this to school on Wednesday morning.

Also remember a jacket if wet.

Thursday 8 December

Thursday afternoon is the school Eisteddfod.

Friday 9 December (Sport's uniform to be worn)

Bike day and trip to the pool.  Please bring bikes to school on Friday morning. We will be leaving school at 10.30 and biking along the rail trail to the bike park. (If your child has trainer wheels or is not confident on a bike, please drop their bike at the bike park at 11am and they will walk along the rail trail). We will then ride bikes at the bike park and go over to the playground for lunch. From 1.00 - 2.00, we will be swimming at the pool, and children are to be picked up from the playground opposite the Stadium Tavern from 2.30 (2.55 at the latest). We will also need parent help for this trip and there will be a cost of $3.00.

If you are able to help with any of the above activities, please email or see your class teacher.
