Year 4 Overnight Stay

Last Tuesday the Year 4's from Tāwhirimatea, Tāne Mahuta and Pāptuanuku came back to school and enjoyed dinner with their families. Then their families left and the fun began. We tucked up in our beds, watched a movie and enjoyed some supper before going to sleep. The next day we went to Orana Park which was incredible! We got to see the new attraction, the gorillas. They were amazing to watch. Everyone had a blast. Thanks anyone who helped with the organisation or supported at Orana Park we couldn't do it without your help!

Now the Year 4's are ready to go for camp next year! Well done everyone :).

Pen Pals

This term and last term we have been writing to a Pen Pal within school. We wrote to them each week which was a strategy/programme that was put in place to help us improve our writing. Everyone was really excited to meet their Pen Pals and we enjoyed some kai after the long wait to see who our mystery Pen Pal was!

Playing Our Role

This term we have been looking at understanding and identifying what bullying is and 'how we can help play our part by supporting the victim or target'. Please encourage and support your children to act when they see someone bullying or being bullied.

Wig Wednesday

Wig Wednesday was an awesome day. Most of the teachers wore a wig and the children really got into it too! We were able to be a little different for a day to support Kiwi Kids with Cancer! What a fantastic cause our hearts and thoughts go out to all those families going through this.
