From Marama
Hi Everybody! I hope you are all well rested from your
summer break, and your grass has started growing again
after all of this rain. Cody and I had a wonderful time on
the East Coast, much sun, surf and seafood. We have
also had fun completing a fairly serious ‘chuck’ from the
old school building. Wow, you wouldn’t believe some of
the frightening rubbish we found in there! I have also had
a good clean out of our resource room and school library,
we actually have some empty shelves!
Now, I must say a few heart felt thank yous to a few very
important people. First to Carol and Cody for braving the
dust, cluster flies, mouse poo and bird carcasses of the
Old School; next Teresa, Lucy and Abbey for removing all
the old books from the library catalogue; and finally Jock
and Susan Stratton for loaning us their ute and trailer to
cart everything to the dump. Thank you so much for your
help.
Old Library Books
As I mentioned above, I have completed a huge clean up of
our school library. In the process I have culled a
significant number of books. These books are on display
in the school cloak bay for two weeks only; please feel free
to pop into school to rummage through and help yourself.
Rhubarb
Keen on Rhubarb, the school has lots in the garden by the
pool. Please come and help yourself.
