Dear Parents, extended family, caregivers and community members,
Greetings, Kia ora, Talofa lava, Kia orana, Malo e lelei, Goeie Môre, Fakaalofa lahi atu
EXPO—I hope you have all locked in your diaries the Expo dates for this term. Our Manutukutuku classes and Room 3 will be
Week 9 and the rest of the school are in Week 10. We will send a flyer out closer to the dates. This year we will be doing our
Expo slightly differently. The Expo will be in classes and our classes will be open to all our whanau for the week where you can
come and sit alongside your child and ask them about their inquiry learning projects that they have been working on. There are
some exciting things happening in each whanau so hopefully you will have time to pop along and see your children’s work.
MATHS TOGETHER WORKSHOPS– Last night we had our first workshop for parents of Year 5,6,7, and 8 students. We had only
one family so if you are free next Wednesday 10 September at 6pm come along to the school library and Mr Madjar will take you
through a Maths session.
UNIFORM—It is important all our children come to school every day in the correct school uniform. Our uniform shop is open
Tuesdays 3 to 3.30pm and Thursdays 8.30 to 9.00am. Please can you name your child’s uniform as we have lots of school
uniforms with no names. If you have lost any items of clothing please pop in to see Mrs Griffiths in the office to look through the
pile of unnamed uniforms.
INTERMEDIATES FOR 2015– We have prospectuses for our local intermediate schools at our office. Waimahia will have an
open day soon and we will send a flyer to let you know when you can go and have a look around the school. Waimahia offer
excellent Technology, Science and The Arts programmes.
Kind regards
Saane Faaofo Oldehaver

Here’s a question to get your brain working
(get your family to help you):
Shikira Sao
Kauri 1
Mr Greenwill looked out on his Otago farm and saw
rabbits every where. "Why", he said, "I reckon there
are about 1280 rabbits in that paddock. They’ve been
doubling in number for the last seven years." How
many rabbits were in the paddock seven years ago?
