REMINDERS FOR PARENTS

This week the school is hosting some community meetings.  The discussion will be on some aspects of our Charter and planned E-learning developments for the school for next year.  The meetings will be held in Room 15 and are scheduled for:

 

Wednesday 20 November         

General Meeting     3.15 pm 

Whanau Group       5.30 pm  

 

Thursday 21 November             

 General Meeting     8.45 am (meeting in Hall)

Tuesday 26  November             

 Indian Community   6.30 pm

Anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits. The same content will be presented at each meeting. It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting -  particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3.  This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).

Wow! Did we have a great time making and using our hobo stoves, unfortunately, I was having such a great time with the children I forgot to get anyone to take photos!!!

We are making "Hobo Stoves" for Golden time this week and cooking on them. Children need to bring a candle and something to cook on their stove. They are deciding in their groups what they might bring. Marshmallows, Eggs, Chocolate, Pancake mix....
