Week 7 news
Our emphasis this term is on Health and Wellbeing, a highly significant component of the New Zealand curriculum, and it's currently in full swing. We are exploring ways to promote wellness for both ourselves and those around us. This subject is being integrated across all curriculum areas and is demonstrating itself as a captivating theme.
It's been truly heartening for me to listen to the discussions among children regarding the Te Whare Tapa Whā model. They're delving into why this model is so crucial in maintaining a balanced state of well-being across all facets of our lives. To gain further insights into this model, you can explore it here.
As always, please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help in any way and know you are welcome to pop in at any time.

Can you help? 🏖
We aim to have our sandpit and troughs used for waterplay up and running in Term 4. Do you have any sieves, funnels, containers, scoops or tools that you no longer use? Or dinky cars and trucks? If you have any toys that would be suitable for these purposes, please send them to the school office - thank you so much!
