Firstly, I want to thank you and your child for being so understanding of my absences last week. I had 3 really worthwhile learning days and I will now be able to bring that into our learning in our classroom. I have heard lovely comments from the relievers about their experiences with our class, so I want to thank you all for supporting this.
Tomorrow Totara classes are having our Matariki celebration day. This will consist of 5 different activities that our classes will rotate around. There will be lots of fun experiences, including edible food creations, salt dough taonga, string games, weaving and 3D constellation art. We are also very fortunate to have the JPC band coming to perform for Matariki at 9.30am tomorrow.
Tuesday we have our Matariki cultural dinner celebration in the hall. This is a celebration of the many cultures we have in our community and is a great way for us all to come together. The event begins at 5.30pm and every family is welcome, so it would be fabulous to see you all there. If attending, please bring a plate of food that represents your culture. I hope to see you all there!
Thursday afternoon we will be going on a Museum 'Hei Tiki' trip from 12.30-2.30. We will be travelling via bus and the session will be run by the Rotorua Museum team. It should be a very exciting and informative learning experience for us all!
Below are a few more notices for the week. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces tomorrow morning! It will be a fun and exciting Matariki week!

School photos
These are scheduled for Friday 22nd June and information/envelopes have been sent home with your child. Please do not leave the ordering of these photos to the last minute. Orders must be with the school office by Wednesday 20 June. Last year we had lots of parents bringing their envelopes in on the day. The organisation on the day is already hectic enough without having to contend with a large number of late orders.
