Welcome – Nau mai haere mai

Kia ora koutou,

A very warm welcome to Tayla and Celeste who have joined us in Room 1 at Ngaere School. Wishing you both happy school days.

Puanga Family Day

It was wonderful to see everyone come out and join us for our annual Puanga Celebration. I have to say I think it might just be my favourite one yet. It was touch and go with the weather, but the sun broke through for a sunny afternoon. The children sang their hearts out and it was great to sit and share a meal together. The school was so proud to show off all of their hard work this term and it was really nice to be able to publicly acknowledge all those special groups of people who help to make school happen. Well done to Chelsea for surviving her first community day as our new PTA chairperson, you worked hard to make this event a success. A huge thanks to the parents and PTA who came together to make the day happen, many hands certainly did make for light work. I hope you enjoyed our Art Exhibition. The children have spent many hours studying and developing their portraiture skills and it was exciting to see all their work on display. We look forward to welcoming Mrs England back next week!

Reminder: There is no school tomorrow as it is Matariki Day. Have a safe and enjoyable long weekend.

Celebrating Reading Success at Ngaere!

Well done to all those parents and students who are reading every night at home.

Junior Trip to the Firestation, Art Gallery and Library

Last Thursday the Rooms 1, 2 and 3 headed out to see how places in our community contribute to our lives and meet the people behind these vibrant community spaces.

“I liked the library. It was fun. I love to read. I like how the story comes together, if I was in a story I would be a cow. I would eat grass and drink water. The farmer would milk me. I would have a calf. I would name my baby Till. She would eat grass like me. She would drink water and she would grow up in my story.” By Georgia Rm 1 and 2

“Do you know what I liked the best? I liked the fire station and the bell. My favourite was the house that had the smoke in it. That is my favourite. The fire truck is my favourite too.” By Olivia Rm 1 and 2
