Term 3

A big welcome back to Term 3 and an especially warm welcome to our new families and Mrs Menhinick and the children in Room 7.

What a fabulous end to Term 2 with our Matariki kite flying extravaganza – watch this space for a short video of the fun we had flying our kites.

This term is very exciting. We start the term with Keeping Ourselves Safe. Constable Doris will be in school and take each class for some lessons. Our Inquiry for the term is around the environmental responsibilities we each have with particular regard to our native birds. Our BIG question for this is “What relationship should we have with our native birds?”. We will start this Inquiry with a trip to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua – please look out for a letter with details coming home in the first week of term. The Junior classes will all be participating in a gymnastics programme as part of our Physical Education programme. The school-wide value for the term is Integrity and the Key Competency focus is Thinking.

For those children who are due for National Standards reports this term, these will come home on September 22nd with Learning Journeys  Tuesday and Wednesday the following week.

Please remember to check newsletters for further information and updates.

We are all looking forward to a term of lots of exciting learning!
