Week 3, Term 2

Hi everyone

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mums and Grandmothers.
We hope you all have all had  a lovely day and were made to feel special.

Remember our Mother's Day Cafe tomorrow.

Mother's Day Cafe Monday 13th May

This is on Monday at 2.00pm in Room 3.

Your child will serve you!!

If you are unable to make it, your child could bring another special lady in their life eg a grandma, aunty or friend.

If your child has no one that can attend please let us know ASAP and we will buddy them up with a friend.

Tomorrow, Monday, we will be welcoming the Education Review Office (ERO) to school at 11 am with the Kapa Haka Group doing a formal welcome.

Netball Tournament 
We have been having whole class lessons on Netball and to use our new skills we have learnt we are having a Whole School Netball Tournament on Wednesday. Below are some details about the afternoon:

1. Children will come to school in their house colours and suitable shoes. Warm clothing needed please plus lunch and water. No pie warmers.
2. Leave school at 12.15 to walk to courts and eat lunch there.  Parents welcome to walk with us and it would be helpful to have a parent helping to lead the children to their next game.
3. Children are to be picked up from the netball courts.  
4. Sharelle and Ashley will talk to children at 1pm .
5. First game is 1.10. The games are 5 mins long. No half time

(Unfortunately I have an appointment in Dunedin on the Wednesday so will miss the netball tournament.  Mrs Stratford will be relieving in Room 7).

Pink Shirt Day 

"Kōrero mai, Kōrero atu, Mauri tū, Mauri ora - Speak up, Stand together, Stop bullying!"

Children can come to school wearing pink in support of this day and a gold coin. 

Religious Education 

In Religious Education your children are beginning the Strand The Holy Spirit – Te Wairua Tapu.
They will be learning the sign of the cross in English and Maori and demonstrating ways that show that the Holy Spirit is working in themselves by being kind,caring and helping. 

Have a great week

Sue and Julie
