SCHOOL ATHLETICS 2017

Middle School (Years 3-4)

Wednesday 15 November

The Middle School Athletics Day for Year 3-4 students is to be held on Wednesday 15 November.  The event will be at Whakarongo School, from 9:00am to 12.30pm.  Students will be in Year Groups and will rotate around the events.  Parents and family are warmly invited to attend to support our athletes.

Can you please check that your child brings the following to school on that Wednesday:

• School hat
• House coloured t-shirts and school shorts
• Polar fleece and long pants (in case it's cold)
• Sunscreen
• Appropriate footwear (sneakers or running shoes – not jandals, sandals or gumboots)
• Morning tea, lunch and a full drink bottle of water

If we are forced to cancel due to bad weather, an alert will be sent out via the school app.

Ag Day prep done and dusted - bring on the fun!

Ag Day: Table Centrepiece Inspirations

This Friday we are completing the last of our school tasks: Our Table Centrepieces (don't worry - there are no tasks to be completed at home!).

Please remember to send your child to school with a glass jar (or appropriate container or oasis) along with materials that they can use to create a table centrepiece e.g. floral arrangement with. 

It would be greatly appreciated, if you have access to flowers/foliage to spare, if you could send extra to school (in a separate plastic bag marked "SPARE") to help provide for those that may not have these available in their own home gardens.

Please see below for some inspirational, rural-themed ideas that we've found and take time to discuss with your child what they may like to do.

We thank you for all your support and look forward to seeing you this Saturday at Ag Day!

Narrative Writing: WALT Narrate and Animate

As part of our learning around coding, we have been investigating how to create a good narrative story so that we can then animate it using coding through Scratch Jr.  Take a look at these first few examples... we can't wait to see them ANIMATED!
