What’s happening in term four of 2020?

October 14, 2020

What’s happening in term four of 2020? There is no doubt that the year 2020 will stay seared in our memories for the rest of our lives. Before we get too far into it, I think it’s worth reflecting a little on term three. Some of the things mentioned may or may not have escaped your attention. Did you know that … · Our two senior classes managed to go on camp to Waitawheta last term. The children had a great time, the weather held and we managed to run it despite Covid-19. · Our senior E-Pro eight team came second in our area. Last year the same team won.This was an outstanding effort. · Lilly Donaldson came second in her category of the Thames speech competition. Well done to Lilly. · Last term, we had our second round of reports delivered to parents and whanau, and we managed to hold parent-teacher conferences. This was no mean feat given the year we have had. · ...

Things you need to know ... Dear whānau/parents and caregivers, Welcome back to school for 2021. This year promises a lot but we will be keeping an eye on the rear-view mirror to make sure everything goes as smoothly as it should. Covid preparedness We would be very happy if we never heard the word Covid ever again but we are still making sure that we have things in place. While we wait for the vaccine (which should be here by the middle of the year) we want to keep going with the following: · Keep washing hands · Bring a drink bottle school every day · Stay home if you are sick We would also like parents who come on to the school site to scan our Covid QR codes when they pick up or drop off children. Attending school One of the things that was impacted last year with Covid was attendance. Lower attendance negatively af...

Garden Newsletter Term 2 2021

Hi Everyone, We have had some great Autumn rain and sunshine for our garden. Our plants are growing well, soon we should have some broccoli and cauliflower to enjoy. Room 2 and 4 will be able to harvest their radishes soon and then wait for their baby carrots to finish growing. Students have already been busy in the kitchen making the most of our fabulous crop of lemons. Room 7 feasted on very professional looking lemon cheesecakes. This week room 6 is baking lemon cake with lemon juice glaze and no-bake lemon cheesecake. Rooms 5 and 9 made smashed egg and lettuce sandwiches to use their delicious lettuces. Toa even made a sandwich for Mr Brock! Next week room 3 will also be whipping up some delicious lemon cheesecake. Last year we planted some strawberry popcorn, it was very slow growing! Over the holidays we dried out the kernels and rooms 9 and 6 have tried popping them. They popped into snowy white popcorn and were very tasty, the children are keen to grow some more. T...

Waters of Taiari (February 3, 2021) Things you want to know about the year and term one (maybe …) Dear whānau/parents and caregivers, In this newsletter I want to outline our key intentions for learning and the school. As a staff we have already been back to school for at least a fortnight and are excited by the year. Our theme for the year is the ‘Waters of Taiari’, after our name. This means that we are planning excursions throughout the year for the whole school connected to this theme. One of the studies in term one may involve a seashore study. Over the next two weeks our children will be reviewing our school rules and setting up classroom treaties. This is very important as we set the tone of the school for the year. At the moment the weather is hot! … so please keep sending your children to school with togs and sunhats. All classes have been scheduled for daily swimming. We have swimming sports calendared for Friday the 5 th of March We have a major whakatau coming up o...
