This term has flown by in a bit of a haze and it is hard to believe that next term is the last of the year.  

Some exciting news from the Rotary speech competition. Congratulations to Makayla, Chloe and Charlotte who have made it through to the next part of the competition. Go girls!!

Week 8 and 9 have been very tiring for the children due to the swimming program, so please ensure that your child has the opportunity to rest and recuperate during the holiday.

A reminder that the Te Kotiritiri challenges need to be completed by the 3rd week of next term.

Just some homework for you over the holiday. 

• Please can you ensure that your child has the correct school shoes/ socks. 
• Check your child's stationery to make sure that they have good quality pencils to write with, a 30cm ruler, sharpener, whiteboard pens and a rubber.
  
• If your child has a tablet, please download the following free apps for use next term: Flick, Pic Collage, QR reader, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Classroom, Lego movie, stop motion, IXL.

Thank you for your support. Keep safe, stay warm and go well.

Regards

Urmi, Peri, Vanessa and Jennifer
