GRANDPARENT’S DAY - TUESDAY APRIL 15th
We are planning a celebration day on Tuesday 15 April to end our unit, “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.” To give families some notice we are asking students to come dressed in clothes that students may have worn in the past. Please don’t go to a lot of trouble!!
Everyone is welcome to take part in all or some of the events planned for the day.
We will begin the day at 10.30 a.m by singing the National Anthem before we have a parade. There will be prizes for the best dressed.
Next week the students will be distributing invitations to grandparents (or adopted grandparents!) in our community and wider community inviting them along to school to share their memories or artifacts from the past. If you are interested in coming along or know of someone who we could approach please contact the school. A sharing time will occur at 11.00 a.m.
We are planning to establish a museum of artifacts for the day. If you have anything which you think may be of interest please let us know. These could be something from the past or present, which could be interesting for the children. These can start coming to school at anytime. We will make sure we take care of these items.
Everyone is invited to bring along an old fashioned picnic and join us for lunch from 12.00 p.m – 1.00 p.m. We will also be looking for the most authentic school lunch from the past.
In the afternoon we will be having a variety of activities related to the past such as a quiz and indoor and outdoor games.

KIA KAHA
Over the next few weeks the students throughout the school will be taking part in the programme Kia Kaha. This is a programme developed by the New Zealand Police Education Service, which is designed to help create safe positive classrooms in which bullying cannot flourish, for your child/children. It will be taught by the classroom teacher together with help from the police education officer from Gore.
Ideas which are included are:
  • Accepting difference in other people.
  • Appropriate behaviour.
  • Knowing what bullying is and is not.
  • Knowing about safe practices.
  • Asking for help.
  • Making safe choices.
  • Understanding the consequences of behaviour.
  • Playing and working well with others.
    There may be some homework activities which ask for some parent assistance. We would ask that you contribute and reinforce the messages and skills that the students will be learning. If you would like any further information about the programme please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher.
