WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 27/2015

2 September 2015

Kia ora, The joy of giving to others is a beautifully unique feeling. It spreads like wild fire and enriches our community. As you know our LifePod fundraising mission is well in hand. With your amazing support $794 was raised on Friday with our Greatest Love mufti/heart biscuit day and donations. This was a massive amount. Since this time donations from the wider community have started to come in. Our thanks to the Baptist Church for their donation. We challenge you to seek support in the community to help raise $2000 .We look forward to hearing Sir Ray Avery’s story about LifePods and letting NZ know about our school on Seven Sharp this week. Rumour has it our tamariki want to raise money for a second pod to go to Tonga. I will keep you updated.

A huge thank you to the whanau who filled out our recent survey on what health topics are important to you. To help us delve deeper (yes, my questions were too open!) this time we ask you to select the most important areas under each section.

What are your top one or two areas of learning that are super important to you. From this, we should be able to put a plan in place. If you have other ideas you would like included e.g. parents advice/ meeting on internet safety, write it down. We will do our best to meet your needs.

Alex and her team of lovelies have the school disco for this Thursday well in hand. The cost is $2 per person with treats being sold for $1 per item. We would appreciate your help to make this a successful event for our children. Come along and join in the fun; Alex will welcome your help.

A massive congratulations to our two netball teams who have made it through to the next level of competition in Tauranga. This is stunning and we thank your coaches for their guidance and skills to support you to this level.

Lastly a massive thank you to Tracey Fowell for her leadership and coaching of our gym team. Our children had a ball on Monday at gym sports. Thank you for your leadership at our school and across the wider Waihi community. Fabulous!

Nga mihi nui, Emily Hargreaves (ehargreaves@east.school.nz)

KIDS’ PAGE Are Dogs Better than Cats?

I definitely think dogs are better than cats because dogs ate fun to cuddle and take for walks.

Do you think dogs are better?

Secondly, I know dogs are more helpful than cats because they guide blind people, hunt pigs and deer, round up cattle and sheep and chase birds away from the garden.

Thirdly, dogs are fit and more energetic than cats . Cats are lazy and sleep on the couch and just meow all the time, asking for more food!

Lastly, I’m telling you dogs are much more patient than cats! So dogs are definitely better than cats!

Feeling Proud.

Hi, my name is Josh and I’m going to tell you about my awesome weekend. On Saturday I bought a lawn mower for $400 that Kale’s Grandma gave me. We went to Wenlock Street because there was a garage sale. We were interested in what there was. I can mow peoples lawns now, to make money.

By Josh M, age 9, room 1.

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 you 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 you will have lots of friends.
