UP DATES

LEARNING CELEBRATION
Our team Learning Celebration is next Tuesday 3rd December at 5.15pm prior to the Ali Baber performance. The aim of this celebration is for the children in our team to share their cultural learning that has been happening throughout the term. We will begin with a couple of short performances on the junior grassed area and then retreat to our classrooms to share individual learning related to our inquiry. We would love to conclude this celebration with a whanau pincic tea before the Ali Barber performance. It will be great to see as many families as possible at school for this event. The chidlrena are eager to share their learning with you!

BLOW TEST
This coming Wedsnesday is the blow test day when any students who are interested in playing a musical instrument can try it out. This will be between 9-9.45am in the hall. You are most welcome to come along.

SPENCER PARK TRIP
A huge thank you to all the parents who have kindly offered their support with either supplying a car or to be a helper on the day. We can't organise wonderful events like this for the students without your help. If you haven't yet offered your assistance and want to, please feel free to see your child's class teacher. The more the merrier!

SWIMMING HELPERS
Well our swimming lessons are now complete for the year. We would like to take this time to extend a huge thank you to all the parents who helped to collect the children for their swimming lessons. This made the managements of the groups much easier for all.
If the weather is looking to be hot, please send your child to school with their togs as we will put out the slip and slide for them to play on at some stage during the day for them to cool off.

FILL THE BUS
On December the 6th,the Big Red Bus and the wacky traveling circus of Christmas merriment will be visiting our school to receive donations from our students to help support Ronald McDonald House. We would love for you to help us out by bringing to school either a non-perishable food item, a new toy or gift! Every little bit helps and will make a difference to the children and families who require the support of Ronald McDonald House.

In 2012 over a 10 hour period Classic Hits Christchurch took one Red Bus around Christchurch with the hope of filling it with gifts and food for RMH. We hoped for some famous Christchurch generosity, what we got was overwhelming! Over 2.75 tonnes of donations were collected, equating to $25,770 of food, presents for young and old and supplies for RMH. This will be a wonderful experience and opportunity for the children to 'pay it forward'.

That's all for now. Have a wonderful week ahead!
