Allergies to Bees

We are soon getting a Bee hive at school through the Year 5/6 Eco Action. As part of the organisation for this we want to make sure that we are aware of all the students that have an allergic reaction to bees. Please let us know if your child has a reaction.

Garden to Table

Our next session for Garden to Table is next week - Tuesday September 12.

Room 2 starts at 9am and Room 1 at 11.30am.

If you are able to help please let us know asap!

Art - Hot Air Balloon over Paris

We are well underway with our stunning pieces of artwork. The children have been learning about taking photographs and understanding and using the camera features on the iPad/laptop, taking a variety of photographic shots and taking a photograph with the subject being well lit and in focus.

We need: Please send along to school this Friday any cardboard paper towel rolls, glad wrap rolls, wrapping paper rolls. We will use these to create a 3D effect for the basket of our hot air balloons.

Nga Mihi Presentations

Kia ora all,

As part of our Schoolwide Mihi Competition, the Discoverers have been working on writing their own mihi (greeting). We have spent time writing these in class, using a standard format, but if your whanau / iwi have a specific mihi please share this with your child so that they can use it instead.

• All children will present their mihi early in Week 8 (next week) to their class. 
• Teachers and students will vote for the top two representatives from each class to go through to the semi-finals. 
• Those who make it through to the finals will present their mihi in assembly on Friday 15 September.

Any questions, please see your child's teacher.

Kind regards,

Hayley Ngan. 

Here's an example of a simple mihi:
