A message from Mrs Ikahihifo

We are going to be making birds using the Chompsaw! After some testing today, I think using cardboard about the thickness of a shoebox is perfect. If you have any cardboard that is 2-3mm, such as a shoebox, can you please bring that in for us to use? The Chompsaw is not too loud when in use, however, if your child is sensitive to noise, they may bring in some earmuffs. Harakeke will start first - most likely next week. I can't wait to see what you create!

Hi Everyone

Cross Country is happening tomorrow.  Students may come to school dressed in house colours.  Please ensure your child has suitable running shoes (no crocs), a drink bottle and a sunhat (suncreen would also be a good idea as the temperature is predicted to reach 22deg).

There is a full program with times for each year group in a previous notice.

Many thanks

Jason and Wendy
