WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 31/2015

14 October 2015

Kia ora, Welcome to term 4. It is lovely to have our tamariki back at school– enthusiastic and ready to learn. This week we welcomed our new senior school deputy principal Rachael Coll. Rachael will be teaching in Room 3.

Supporting Rachael during her leadership release, we welcome back Renee Stewart. Welcome to our kura ladies!

I’m sure you have all noticed the beautiful school grounds as you came in the school gate. A massive thank you to Ross for making our kura look amazing and to David Dixon for painting the bike container in readiness of the Year 6 paint job.

As part of our newly reviewed Sunsmart Policy– all students are to wear a school hat during terms four and one. We are giving our students one weeks grace to find their hat. From next week, no hat means play times under the kai shelter. Sharon has a huge supply of hats available for sale at $9 a pop. As always name your uniform, these hats become a hot item for students to ‘borrow’.

What are you doing on the 28th of October? How about you join us for a day’s outing at Otawhiwhi Marae.

Lots of cool activities are currently being planned and we look forward to participating in a powhiri/welcome on arrival. If you can help, particularly with transport, please let us know. For a safe and fun outing, we do appreciate having whanau attend to help with supervision. Team East Whanau are supporting this venture by helping with the partial funding of a bus. We thank this group for being so generous.

Goodness me, we were so excited to crack the $2000 mark in our fundraising for LifePods. We are now moving onto fundraising for a second pod as well as the occasional fundraiser for school activities. Our lovely Anne Marie is leading the LifePod fundraising and our next project is a Twilight Gala on Thursday 19th of November. If you are keen to help, please come to our planning meeting on Tuesday 20 October in the staff room. A third Life Pod has been generously donated by a Tauranga resident once we have raised $4,000. This is a stunning donation from outside our community.

Lastly, have you planted your pumpkin seed? Seeds are still available in the office if you would like to improve your chances. I can’t wait to see who will be our champion next year.

Nga mihi nui, Emily Hargreaves (ehargreaves@east.school.nz) SCHOOL NOTICES MARAE VISIT 28TH OCTOBER We will be visiting Otawhiwhi Marae on 28th October (week 3 of Term 4).

COMMUNITY NOTICES

On daylight savings me and my Poppa are going fishing in the night and I hope I get a snapper and a trevally and a kahawai. I am going to ask my Dad if I can sleep at my Nana’s house. But I need my pyjamas and a bag but I need dinner and then I am going to sleep.

I am going to tell you how to be a good friend. Encourage others. If you are hurt she will come and help you. Share your toys or pets. If you are lonely a friend will come and play with you.

If you hurt someone they won’t want to be your friend. If you want a friend be nice. I just told you how to be a good friend. I hope you were listening because if you listened and you do all this your will have lots of friends.

By Celeste R, R7, 7yrs

In the weekend I woke up so early because I went to Auckland to Jeff and Julie’s. We were having a shared lunch. We had strawberries and marshmallows and corn chips and heaps of other things. It was yummy. We played hide and seek. It was fun. Braydon got an early birthday present.

It was a nerf gun. I got one as well and then we went home. It was night by then. I felt tired but happy.
