Tena Koutou Katoa Weber whanau,
I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend, it was great to see the sunshine.
It is only a week to go before our Pets day and everyone at school is super excited to share their animal and their photos / decorated gumboot that they have been working on as a whanau.
A reminder that photos and decorated gumboots to the office on Monday so that they can be judged before Pets day.
Next week in class the students will be all be designing and making their own miniature gardens, these will be judged on the day and available to view on the day also.
School photos will be available to view and order as well. We will also be having a bake stall so any donations of yummy baking will be greatly received -please bring to the staffroom on the day. Any money raised will go towards purchasing a shed for the Green Team. Coffee / tea will be available also from the staffroom - gold coin donation.
We are looking forward to a great day! Look forward to seeing you there

We’d love some parent help at school for a working bee on Sunday 13th Nov from 10am - 1pm (max) to build and install shelves in our brand-new greenhouse which has been kindly funded by Tararua Reap, and to help with a few other odd jobs to make our school grounds look amazing before the summer break.
What we need ...
20 lengths of 125mm x 30mm (yard timer) at least 3.6m long
BYO Tools - saws or a drop saw, nails, hammers, tape measures and levels.
Our tamariki are so excited to get into some more hands-on learning raising vegetables and natives in the new greenhouse and the shelves will be the last piece of the project.
Look out for an email and google doc and let us know if you can help and if you are able to kindly donate any of the timber needed, and bring along the tools required.
Thanks so much.
