Term 4 Week 2

 Welcome back to term 4!

It has been a great week of athletics practise and just enjoying being back together again.

This is a busy term with lots of fun things happening weekly, so please keep checking your school alerts and the blog to know what is happening.

We do have our production this term and we are just getting the last of our ideas together before we share this with the kids and then we will be into practises.

Please remember to SUNHAT and SUNBLOCK each day for your child. We will remind children to put sunblock on at school, but we will not apply this, so if your child doesn't know how to put this on themselves, please support them with learning this.

We are going to be doing work across teams with both Whakarewa and Hōpara this term as part of our transition for next year. This learning will include coding, PE and CHILL.

What is on next week:

• Newsletter is out today
• Working Bee this Sunday - 'MORE HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK', details in the newsletter
• Athletics Wednesday starting just after 9am, if raining postponement day is Thursday. You're welcome to come and watch!
• Fish n Chips Friday - order through Kindo

Here are some photos from CHILL this morning with Whakarewa:

What is happening on the first week back:

• Athletics practise begins this week, please make sure you have correct footwear, sunhat, sun block on each day and a drink bottle
