Kia ora wh\u0101nau,<\/p>
We are very excited about our upcoming trip to Ferrymead Heritage Park on the 23rd and 24th of March. This trip links strongly to our theme of \u2018Change\u2019 and the main focus will be on heritage life and development\/change over time. <\/p>
The following homegroups will be visiting on these days:<\/p>
Tuesday 23rd March - Nick and Meagan\u2019s homegroups<\/i><\/p>
Wednesday 24th March - Laura, Rowe and Quynh\u2019s homegroups<\/i><\/p>
On each trip, our tamariki will be divided into four groups and participate in the following workshops:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We will also go on the tram, have a tour around the village and dress up in old fashioned clothing.<\/p>
On the day of the trip, your child\/children will need to:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We will need approximately 2-3 wh\u0101nau helpers for each homegroup. This will involve helping to oversee small groups of learners, supporting food breaks and joining in with activities. <\/p>
Please make contact asap with your child\u2019s home group teacher if you are able to help us on the day. <\/i><\/b><\/p>
Unfortunately, there are limited numbers of helpers, so if you miss out this time there will be more opportunities later in the year to help. For health and safety reasons we are unable to accommodate siblings\/preschoolers. <\/b>We do have some room for wh\u0101nau who need to come with us on the bus, otherwise there is ample parking at Ferrymead. <\/p>
We will be in contact with those parents who will be coming along next week. <\/p>
The cost of this trip is covered by your school contribution. <\/p>
