Term 2 Week 8

Wednesday 14th June 2023

Thank you to those parents who attended the Online Safety presentation last week at Stratford High School. It was a very worthwhile evening and I am sure those who attended were left with lots to think about.

As a school we have access to Rob’s presentation and would like to share his story and message with anyone who was unable to attend last week. With this in mind I have tentatively put aside Thursday 22nd June (next week) for a showing. We would also hold a second one at the beginning of Term 2. More information will be sent home tomorrow with an RSVP form. In the meantime if you want more information please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Please note, this is an adult only presentation.

RIPPA TOURNAMENT IN HAWERA TODAY

A huge thank you to the parents who have provided transport to and from this event today. Your support is very much appreciated. We look forward to hearing how the team went when they get back this afternoon!

HOT LUNCH TUESDAY REMINDERS

Just a couple of reminders in regards to hot lunches on a Tuesday.

Please NO frozen food as it takes too long to heat up and may not be heated completely by lunchtime.
Please wrap food in tinfoil and clearly name.
Please NO paper bags or lunch paper as it a risk for fire
Please NO cellotape or gladwrap as it will melt.

Thank you.

FROM ROOM 3

Jones Cup: Jones Cup is a cluster schools event and is an opportunity for all children in years 5 -8 to participate in team sport, either netball or rugby. Games are played at Toko School with the winning teams securing the ‘Jones Cup’ and bragging rights for the year. Teams will be practising at school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 12 noon until match day which is 19th June. Thankyou to the parents who are able to either coach a team during the week and / or supervise on the day.

Children will be travelling to Toko by bus on Monday leaving around 9am and returning by 3pm. Games start at 10am. Parents are welcome to head out to Toko and watch the games. The Toko Friends of the School will have a food for sale throughout the day but we ask that children take a decent amount of food and drink with them. Ngaere Sports shirts are to be worn with a school jersey or jacket to put on between games.

If this is postponed we will post on our school facebook page by 8.15am.

Postponement date: Wednesday 21st June

The frog is in the swamp. The frog was sitting on a lily pad waiting for a fly to come by. Then a fly came by then …. Snap! The frog caught the fly. “Yum” said the frog.

The frog is hungry. The frog is catching a fly. The frog is jumping.

By Bahudha

Frogs are very slimey. They eat flies and live in the creek. And when they are in the creek they love the lily pad.

By Jake

The frog was in the green water. It is catching some flys for lunch. The frog is jumping along.
