Macandrew Bay School Newsletter - 5 April 2024

Kia ora koutou,

It has been a lovely day for me having the opportunity to teach the Year 5'as both Mr D and Mrs Ward are with the Year 6's on school camp this week. The tamariki have kept me on my toes with their enthusiasm and passion for learning. 

Next week is our last week of Term 1 and it is hard to believe what we have managed to fit into 11 weeks, many learning opportunities and lots of FUN! We would love to see you at Whānau Assembly led by Rātā class next Friday, 2pm if you can make it :)

A wee reminder about the sausage sizzle happening on Monday, please get your order in by Sunday night on KINDO!  Thank you to Sabra Moore for initiating and organising this for our tamariki.
