Term 4 Issue 1 Nov 6th 2014

Kia Ora Every-snow-body! (Again!)

Today is a big old reminder and helpers please letter! Here we go:

Reminders:
Tuesday 11th - School Athletics at the Gym Field
Friday 14th - Teacher Only Day ... Please don't come to school :-)
Thursday 20th - School Photos ... Full school uniform please.

Now the Helper Part:

We have planned an Explorers Week at the end of the term - Wednesday 3rd December to Friday 5th
December (actually only three days).
This is three days of exploring new and exciting learning opportunities in mixed age groups. Each teacher has
chosen, and will run a fun programme for those three days around one of their own passions. Children will
have the opportunity to choose an activity they are interested in. So far we have the following choices:
Stacey - Will be making a large school mural. This is suitable for all ages.
Miss Webb and Cody - Will be doing golf, learning skills and hopefully building a mini put course behind the
stumps. This is suitable for all ages.
Mrs Corbett - Is exploring the local outdoors in a range of activities. This is only suitable Years Five to Eight
(Ideally she would like to do the Tongariro Crossing with this group but she requires quite a lot of adult
support). There will be a small cost to students involved, and have behaviour and gear requirements.
Mrs Donaldson - Water, Water, Water - water safety awareness. This is suitable for all ages.
Mrs Bell - Christmas crafts, Tennis and Swimming. This is suitable for all ages.
Kerry - Gardening around the school and a special picnic. This is suitable for all ages.
What we are asking now is if you would like to be involved in one of two ways:
Be a helper to one of the teachers, in particular Mrs Corbetts option. Not organise anything just be there to
support.
OR

Run your own programme. Tell us what you would like to do, what age group it will be suitable for and what
you need, we will sort the rest. Non teachers will have no more than ten children in their group. Please let us
know, it should be an awesome three days to get involved. Some suggestions are:
Cooking
Crafts
Sewing
Sports skills
Build something - like a bird house
If you have any questions please speak your classroom teacher. If you would like to join in, please contact
Marama via email or in person.
Thanks for your continued support.
