WEEK TEN
Talofa everyone, we have finally made it to our final week, actually, not even that, our final 2 and a half days of school! Arggghhhhhh...
Firstly I would like to thank you all for all the support you have provided over the year to ensure your children reach their maximum potential. We have had our ups and downs, but mostly ups, and it saddens me to know that this will be the last time I will be teaching some of your children. I truly will miss each and every one of my students!
Also to the support you have provided over the year, whether it be through transportation, supervision during trips, in class help etc, I thank you for giving up some of your time to help out.
Ou school picnic last Friday was a success, my highlight would have been the water fight, absolutely LOVED IT...I do apologise for any confusion about lunch/ shared lunch/ shared family dinner. We all got there in the end, and the kids had a great day.
I hope you are happy with your child's report and class placement for next year. They have worked extremely hard to get these results.
Monday is prize giving and our school TRYATHLON. I am hoping everyone will give it their all. Please bring in togs and a bike/ or scooter for this. Please see the list below for the times of events.

We learnt how to do some Tai Chi, we saw some very cool pictures from China, we played a great game called Jianzi- Feather Kick where we kicked a shuttlecock thing a bit like a hacky sack, we made and ate some delicious dumplings and we learnt to do some calligraphy in mandarin.
A special thank you to Imogen's Mum, and Molly's Mum and Grandma for helping out in the kitchen with the dumplings.
As well as celebrating China Day the school had a Black Out Day to show our support for the All Blacks. We also donated food for the food bank. Room 29 did a great job and brought in heaps of food. Thank you very much to everyone who brought in something.
