Term 1 Week 11

Welcome – Nau mai haere mai

What a great day they had at Junior Athletics last Thursday. Thank you to everyone who came along to watch and helped out on the day.

Children in Room 4 have been learning how to group their ideas into paragraphs in their writing this week. Here are two examples of their work.

Kiwi are an Aotearoa native bird. Kiwi can only live in New Zealand. They can be seen in native reserves. Kiwi eat grubs, worms, bugs and weta.

Many pests like stoats, mice, dogs, rats and cats kill many kiwi a year. Kiwi are flightless birds so they can’t fly away.

One day there was a boy. He was walking along the beach. He was ten years old. He had blue eyes and brown hair. His favourite food was pasta.

He walked and found a dead shark. he wondered how it got there.

Congratulations to Jett, Cooper & Parker who are all smiles with their medal wins.

Congratulations to ex pupil Finn for his place in the NZ Mighty 11 BMX Team, racing in Adelaide at the moment.

Whanau Day – 11th April has been postponed until later in the year.

Important Notice…..

We have noticed an increase in inappropriate rude and sometimes racist language being used by a number of children in the playground. We ask you to please be aware of what your child is watching or listening to and talk to them about how they treat others when there are no adults around. In most cases that come to our attention, the user is trying to hurt or offend the receiver so knows exactly what they are saying.

LOST PROPERTY

Please take the time before the end of the term to check out the lost property cupboard (the big blue cupboard on the deck area out side room 4) as this will be cleaned out at the end of the term. There is alot of uniform, shoes and odd socks in there at the moment. You may recognise items of clothing that your child doesn’t.

CANTERBURY GEAR

A canterbury fundraiser order form was sent home yesterday. Orders and money are due back at school next term, Friday 10th May. Extra order forms are available from the school office.

01st JUNE FARM CHANGEOVERS

If you are moving with the 01st June farm changeover, could you please advise the school of your new address, Or if you are moving out of the district and your child/ren will no longer be attending Ngaere School, please let the school know. If you know of anyone moving onto a farm within our zone we would also appreciate a heads up as our roll is growing!

POOL KEYS

Could we please have all school pool keys returned. Thank you.

The lock will be changing next season, so if you do not return the past years key, you will not be issued a new key next season.
