Kauri Team Weekly Update: Term 4 Week 6

Posted on by
Just a few quick messages this week.

We need your waste!

Over the weekend, if you are visiting a takeaway food outlet, can you please put aside any packaging, cups etc and send these to school on Tuesday. Chip packets and other plastic throw-aways would also be appreciated. We need this waste for our production props.

No school Monday:

A reminder that we are having a staff only day on Monday.

Canteen closed at South on Tuesday:

Please pack morning tea for Tuesday, not money, as the canteen at South will be closed this week.

Production dates:

A reminder about our production dates, Monday, Dec 10th and Wednesday, Dec 12th. We need all children at both shows. Start time is 7pm and we should be all done by 7:40pm.

Painting progress:

We have been making the most of the fine weather to work on our mural...

Mandy, our local park ranger, joined us on Thursday.

What an action packed week it has been! Enjoy seeing the smiles on the photos below!


Junior Athletics
A HUGE thank-you to parents, friends and whanau for coming to our event, and cheering all the children on. It was wonderful to see everyone having fun and having a go at all events. 

A big thanks to Caitlyn for organising it, class teachers and teacher aides, and to our senior student house captains, who walked and encouraged the children.

We Care Day
For 'We Care' Day Koru New Entrants talked about how we can care for ourselves, others and our environment. We made We Care posters to show three ways of caring. some of these posters are on display in the office.

Discovery
Discovery continues to be a time filled with wondering, experimenting, creativity and seeing how things work. It's also wonderful to be able to discover outside!

Beach Education trips cancelled

Posted on by
Unfortunately, due to not having enough adult supervision for both days of our surf safety trips, we have had to cancel.

Thank you so much to the adults who offered to help.

It will be school as normal, after the staff only day on Monday 26 November, on both Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 November.

Urgent request for adult helpers

Urgent request for adult helpers

We urgently require adult helpers for our Beach Education surf safety trips next week, on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 November.

At this stage we only have one volunteer, so need 19 more, 10 adults per day! If we don't have the required number of adults to support us on these trips will have to cancel, costing us over $800.

Please contact Tracy if you are able to help to make this learning possible for our students. Helpers will be required to stand in the water to ensure the safety of the children.

Parent Help for Waltham Pool Trip

Posted on by
Tena koutou,

We will be going on a trip to Waltham Pool on Tuesday 18th December. We will be leaving school at 11:00 and returning at 3:00.

This is to celebrate a very successful year in the Pohutukawa team.

We require eight parent helpers to walk with us there and back and to help supervise children. Please email your child's home room teacher if you are able to help.

Kind regards,

The Pohutukawa teaching team
