What a busy week we have had! Piwakawaka and the Year 4's have had the run of the school and we've made the most of it! Everybody has enjoyed our sport and ICT days and we topped if off with a movie afternoon. Having watched the Lorax movie, we now feel very ready to share our stage version with you at prizegiving.
Our Year 5 & 6's have had a wonderful time in Dunedin and we look forward to hearing all the details next week. It sounds like the children have loved exploring Larnach Castle and the city and made the most of their time away.
We are pleased to confirm our school pool will be open from Monday. Please ensure children bring their swimming gear to school everyday with all items clearly named.
Piwakawaka are having a PJ Day on Thursday 5 December. Please bring a blanket for fort building and a small soft toy. Children will require their healthy snack and morning tea. They will then head to the YelloShack for lunch.
Have a great weekend!
