Welcome – Nau mai haere mai

Kia ora koutou,

Here at Ngaere School we have had another exciting week filled with amazing opportunities for our children. We are so fortunate to have such a great school whānau with parents going the extra mile to support the staff and students. Well done to our senior students who participated in the Jones Cup sports tournament on Monday at Toko School. This is always a great event for all students to have a go at Netball or Rugby whether they are a regular player or not. Some fantastic results with both year 7 & 8 rugby teams drawing for 1st, the Year 7 & 8 netball team coming second and the year 5 & 6 rugby team also coming second. A massive thank you goes to the coaches who helped out with training and running the teams on the day.

Jones Cup Report By Lacey & Tyler R7

On Monday the 17th of June the weather was not looking good. Despite this the Year 5 – 8 students headed out to Toko School to take part in the Jones Cup. The weather was a bit wet, but luckily towards the end of the day the sun was shining brightly.

Netball was really fun and we all played amazingly. The interceptions and goals caused a celebration every time. Everybody had a good time and we are proud of all of our teams. The yr 7 & 8 Ngaere Nebula team impressed us even more by walking away with the title of second place!

The rugby grounds were freezing cold but everyone got stuck in. The first game for the Year 7/8 was Ngaere vs Ngaere. It was a tough game. Well done to everyone who keep on going despite being tired and injured. We are proud of how everyone went. In first was Ngaere Nemesis, and in 2nd was the Ngaere Nukes.

Rugby Jerseys: Can you please check your child’s sports shirt, you actually may have one of our rugby shirts, we are missing 10 of them. They look like the sports shirts but are made from thicker, studier material. Please send back to school asap if you discover one at home. Thank you.

ASSEMBLY THIS FRIDAY AT 2.30PM

BROUGHT TO YOU BY ROOMS 6 & 7

‘Champion of Champions’

Congratulations to our Year 7 & 8 Rippa rugby team that qualified for the ‘Champion of Champions’ tournament at Yarrow Stadium. on the 25th June. We wish you good luck!!

The team also includes Grace R6, who was absent for our photo.

Junior School Science Kit: Plants Petals and Pollinators

It was the Junior School’s turn this week to work through the activities in the “House of Science” Kit. These award winning science kits are designed to empower teachers in raising the children’s scientific knowledge and ability to think like a scientist. This box is bursting with equipment that helps students ‘see’ the structure of plants and flowers. Activities include germinating two varieties of bean seeds, linking plants to food through a simple matching activity and playing the ‘pollination game’. A digital microscope allows students to see parts of a plant that are very small but crucial in its survival. This fits perfectly with Room 3’s enviro work, raising seedlings to sell on our produce stall with the support of their R7 William Pike Leader Poppy.

Junior Playgroup performing for our Cluster Play Day

A huge thank you to Ms. Hey who worked with a group of keen junior actors to perform the “Three Little Pigs” for the Junior Cluster Play Day at Midhirst school. The children were delighted to be able to perform it for the school during Friday Assembly.

What did Harold teach us …Report from Ella and R7

This week our school had the Life Education bus come to teach all the kids interesting stuff and we got some kids to tell us what they learnt. They told us some interesting things that they learnt and this is something they told us.

Leo and Maddie R4 said “If you react you make the problems bigger and if you respond they will get smaller. Be nice to others and don’t judge others for what they wear.”

Molly and Hayden R5 said “Hemi helped Kuppi when he was feeling sad and the others were bullying him. Harold was singing and we all thought it was awful.”

Jake and Isabella R3 said “We both learned how to be happiness heroes.”

Alfie and Miya R1 said “I learned that you have to be kind and to use your wise owl brain.”

Caylahni and Mason R2 said “We learned how to always be kind to each other. Saying nice things to make other people feel good.”

Sheldon and Isabella R6 said “To be kind and responsible, to try to respond not react. Be an upstander not a bystander.”

Olivia and Lotus R7 said “We learned to use integrity and how to stay calm when we feel like exploding.”

THIS FRIDAY 14th JUNE.

ORDERS AND MONEY ARE DUE 9am TOMORROW (Thursday 13th June)

KIA ORA! Join us for a special celebrations of our amazing community!
Alongside our Puanga Lunch on Wednesday 26th June, we’re hosting a Family/Whanau Day where we want to shine a spotlight on YOU.

Do you have a unique hobby, profession, or passion? Whether it is upcycling, crocheting, photography, sports, or something entirely different, we would love for you to come and share it with us. Bring along a few items or even come dressed for the occasion! If you’re a farmer, you could bring a safe farm vehicle to display on the field.

This isn’t about selling items, it is about showcasing what makes us unique. It is about celebrating our diverse community, fostering connections and sharing stories. You may spot some teachers with a small display of things they do outside of school too!

We will be arranging small areas in classrooms for you to display and share from 1.00 to 1.45pm. Bring photos to display, if you are able to, bring an item, and business cards are ok too!

Please reach out to your classroom Teacher by Wednesday 19th June to let us know what you would like to share.

If you have any further questions about this, please contact Miss Reynolds at denise@ngaere.school.nz

Can’t wait to see you there!!

WINTER ILLNESSES & ABSENTEES

There are a few winter ills & chills going around the school at the moment. We would like to ask that if your child is unwell, please keep them at home. This not only helps with your child’s recovery but also prevents the spread of bugs.

Also, if your child is going to be absent from school, can you please advise the school, either by phone, email or via the skool loop app. We are required by the Ministry to mark a child absent when they are not at school and note the reason they are away. Thank you.

CANTERBURY ORDERS HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION FROM THE SCHOOL OFFICE AREA.

We Had a “Rippa” of a Day!

A huge thank you to the parents who took transport, Gareth Dettling (coach) and Mr Mercer who made yesterdays Rippa tournament such a success for our Year 5 and 6 students, 21 students took part in the central Taranaki Rippa tournament at Stratford Primary. Both teams had to work hard for their excellent results.

Sports Report By Mya Room 5

Yesterday we travelled to Stratford Primary. I played for the Ngaere Ninjas. Mr Mercer was our coach. We won two of our games, we lost two and drew one. Even though it rained a little bit it was fun, we played well as a team. I really want to do it again next year.

Sports Report By Ava Room 5

My team was the Ngaere Nitros. We won our first three games and lost the last two. My Dad was our coach, he was a great coach and all the kids listened really well to him. We learnt from the other teams as we went along and got better and better. The best part of the day was getting some really good tries with the team, when we passed from player to player and got the try. I definitely want to play again next year.
