Hi Everyone

Now that production is behind us we can shift all our attention to Pet Day next week.  Thank you for all the notices that have been returned to school.  So far we have 4 lambs, 1 goat, 1 guinea pig, and 3 dogs, and 2 ponies coming (plus our 6 school hens).  We would love to have some calves.  If you still have your notice at home, or it has been lost, feel free to email us.  Students are free to also bring a stuffed animal. At this stage we are wanting animals brought to school by morning tea (10:00-10:15).

Thank you also for all the offers of help with fencing and setup.  We will be in touch with parents on Monday once we have a more concrete timetable for the day. 

We will be having our New Entrants and Year 1 students from town joining us, as well as some children from one of the Tinwald Preschools.  I know they will love and appreciate the experience of a rural school and seeing all the animals.

Pet Photo Competition - We will be having a pet photo competition.  The only rule is it must be a photo of one of your animals from home.  Please send these to school with your child or email the digital image and we can print it for you.

Colouring Competition - Students will be given these on Monday to be completed by Thursday morning.

Dog Obedience - Students bringing dogs to school will have an opportunity to show what tricks their can dog do.  We will also have a dog safety talk with the students.

Sheep Shearing - If anyone has a shearer on their farm who might like to do a demonstration, please get in contact with us.  It was a highlight last year.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

As we have had several students away today, we are attaching the camp information booklet/notice that has gone home today. Students who were absent today will receive a printed copy of these on Monday. The booklets are expected to come along with them to camp on Tuesday. 

Dear parents and guardians, 

A few final notices regarding camp next week:

Any medications need to be named clearly in a ziploc/sandwich bag and handed into Ms. Winchester prior to leaving for camp. The only medications we will carry are a small amount of nurofen/pamol. If your child has an inhaler at home and school, or medication at school, please bring your home supply with you. 

IF your child must bring a cell phone, it is also to be handed into Ms. Winchester prior to leaving for camp. Should a student feel they need to call home, they only need to ask (at an appropriate time) and they will be allowed to use it briefly, before returning it to the phone box. 

If you need to contact your child for any emergency, simply ring the school office and they will be able to reach us quickly (unless we are out of range on the mountain) and we’ll get back to you ASAP. The school office number is 307 - 8529. If it is in the evening, you can ring Glentanner Park and ask to speak to Ms. Winchester. 03 435 1855. Please do not ring and ask for children directly. 

Attached is your child’s camp booklet. Please keep this top page as a reference, but the remainder of the book should be packed with your child so they can refer to the contents throughout camp. Please feel free to go through it with them and chat about the activities you see. Also it would be helpful if you assist or check luggage to ensure everything is packed. 

We are leaving at 9am, so it would be best if you could arrive by 8:45. Please bring all luggage to Mr McEvedy's trailer.  We will gather in the large staff carpark next to the play centre. 

We are returning from camp at 2:30pm on Thursday, a little before the end of the day. 

A packed lunch is required for Tuesday. Ensure your kids have a good amount of morning tea and lunch for our first day! Outside of this no food (or lollies) are required. We have plenty of food and treats for the students. Please do not send lollies/chocolate/junk food along to camp. There is a high chance it will end up confiscated (or eaten by the lovely parent helpers!).

We would love some donations of baked goods to share over the camp.

Lastly a massive thank you to the parents who are attending camp.  We are looking at an adult to student ratio of 1:6.

Hi Everyone

Wow!!!  We are blown away by the performances of our amazing Lagmhor students.  They all shone in their own way and we couldn't be more proud.

For our students coming to school tomorrow, we will be heading into town one last time for the term.  We will be attending the Waiata-a-Hapori (community singing) at Ashburton College.  Given that the students will be tired after such a busy week we have arranged to take them to the Ashburton Museum before lunch, then walk to the College after that.  We will be bussing home from the college at 2:30pm.  Please let us know if you plan on collecting your child from the College.

Thank you all for your support

WOW! What an amazing performance last night by Rimu students!

We are so proud of their efforts over the last few weeks practising and perfecting. We hope you all managed to see the production and agree how fantastic they were!

We are looking forward to seeing Kowhai take the stage tonight and wow the audience!

We have taken individual, bird group and whole class photos of them and these will be getting added to a Hero post hopefully today and tomorrow - please look out for these.

Regards,

Rebekah and Amy

Our production ran like clockwork today.  Our bus children will be at their usual drop off times.  Remember that students need to be back at our town site at 6:30pm for the evening performance.

Thanks
