Last Fix It for the year

Well done to all the hard working Fix It Club goers. You've made great progress on all of your projects over the past 6 months. Thank you to everyone who has supported the club. I couldn't do it without you!

Here are some photos of the Minibus and our new tool box! Have a wonderful Christmas :-)

A Huge Thank You!

Hi everyone

We have both been overwhelmed with your Christmas kindness this year.  The messages in your cards, the group Gift card, the lovely home baking, and the bottles of wine have been much appreciated.

We have enjoyed teaching our classes this year and feel very lucky to have had such wonderful students and of course parents!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a safe, happy summer holiday.

Kind regards

Kate and Heather

Billie the Albino Bunny!

A big thank you to Matilda and her mum Suzy-Jane for bringing in Billie to meet the class today! Billie was very well behaved and enjoyed nibbling on lots of dandelion leaves and dock leaves. We all enjoyed meeting her.

Cloth Bags

Kia ora, 

It's that time of the year where lots of art work and school books come home. Please can you make sure your child has a cloth bag with them on Monday for the week, so that they can carry it all! 

Thank you :-)

Diwali Candle Holders

If your salt dough candle holder is not yet dry, give it another 30 minutes on 150 degrees celsius.  If you put a tea light candle in it, never leave it unattended!
