Tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa
It is lovely to have such beautiful weather over the last few days.
The tamariki have been enjoying the sun and catching up with each other again.
It is great to see them playing on the scooters, skateboards and in the organised sports at break times.
Next week we are farewelling 2 staff members. Whaea Casey who has been on maternity leave is leaving as she is having another baby. That is exciting for her whanau.
And Whaea Jeanne is leaving our school. Whaea Tanu will be in Room 9 for the rest of the year.
Thank you for the valuable contributions that you have made to our kura while you worked here Whaea Casey and Whaea Jeanne.
Also during lockdown Whaea Amber had her baby. A little boy named Jacob. He is very cute!
We also have chicken pox going around the school – watch out for spots.
Thank you for getting your children back to school so quickly after lockdown. It is great to have them back and into learning again.

Toys
We have been having a large number of toys brought to school including Pokemon cards.
Unfortunately we have to ask that they not be brought to school as children are swapping and trading them. This is causing a lot of disruption to learning times as teachers try to sort out the problems which develop.
