Matariki Whānau Night @ Rotorua Museum

Saturday 20 June 2015, 5pm-9pm

Come and celebrate the Māori New Year at Rotorua Museum with Cosmodome Planetarium, Travelling Tuataras, crafts, face painting, music  for a fun family night out.

There will only be 6 sessions of the Cosmodome during the night so book tickets in advance at Rotorua Museum reception. Tickets: Adults: $5, Children (5-15 years): $3, Under 5 years: Free.

Mid Year Testing - Phew! We are pretty much done. The wheels stayed on!

RE Books - Will be coming home this Friday. We are just about finished our God strand - there is some lovely work up in the classroom and in your child's book. Please complete the whanau/family sharing page and return to school in a timely fashion - there will be an incentive to return books promptly. Please also complete the worksheet (very small) about how your child got their name - this is preparation for a lesson in week 10.

Recycling - Thank you to those families who brought in their recycling last week. If you forgot, please bring some in on Monday (read the post from Week 8 to see what to bring). We will be using the items during our writing & maths this week. 

Whanau Dinner - The Whanau Group would like to extend an invitation to all staff and their families to a pot luck dinner on Thursday the 25th of June at 5.30pm. The dinner is to celebrate the cultural diversity we have in our school. EVERY FAMILY IS INVITED. Come along for some fun conversation and get to know our community. Last year was great fun. 

Week 10
Cross Country - Thursday June 25th (Week 10). This is a heads up that it is happening. The event takes place at school on the field and parents/family are welcome to come and support their children if they are able to. This will most likely begin at 11:00am - I will confirm this time in next week's notices. You will need to make sure your child has their jumper/polar fleece at school - it can get rather cold when they are waiting.
