We have two more swimming lessons with Henk this week (Monday and Tuesday). Please make sure that you have your togs and towel on both of these days.
Home Learning has been set for this week.
Camp
We have one week to go before we are on camp. Let's hope that the weather eases up for Room 1 who are going tomorrow.
The teachers visited the camp site on Friday afternoon and below is additional information.
- Life jackets will be worn on the rafts and on the river tubing. The river is well below the marae site and there are steps down to the river, so flooding should not be an issue.
- When we arrive there will be a powhiri welcoming us on to the marae. Ladies, you do not need to wear a black skirt/dress.
- After rafting on the first day, we will all be going to the free hot pools nearby. Those parents who are helping on camp or transporting on the first day, bring swimming gear if you would like a swim.
- The safety of children is paramount so the decision on whether water activities will go ahead will be made closer to the time of each camp.
Gear List
Baking: Please send some baking along to school on the day we leave (Please, no nuts in the baking). The baking will be shared out for morning and afternoon teas.
