Tēnā koutou katoa, we have had a great start to Term 3. Our learning concept of Communication is coming through strong as the children are using different languages to greet each other and even teaching us all about languages they have learned.
Whilst it feels like the world has moved on, it is important to remember that Covid is still floating around the community. We have had cases in both staff and students lately, so if you are experiencing any of the symptoms, please do test. At school, we are carrying on with all the usual hygiene reminders and ensuring our rooms are ventilated (when the skies aren't dropping hail on us!).
Board Election
This term we will be running an election for our Board of Trustees. This group of people help support the school leadership and ensure effective running of the school so that your children get the best possible learning outcomes.
Parents/caregivers and people in the wider community can be parent representatives. School boards need to represent the diversity of their school communities to ensure a bright future for all our children.
Please think about whether you or someone you know in the community may be the right person to help our school grow. More information about this will be out by August 10th, but if you have any questions, please just talk to Steve.
Our first Tinana Time sessions have started on Friday afternoons, where we focus on our physical wellbeing by doing fitness and playing games as a whole school. These sessions are happening every Friday afternoon, so please remember those changes of clothes to keep everyone comfortable in all this weather we are experiencing!
A reminder that we are proud collectors of Yummy stickers at Nukumea Primary School. You can find these stickers on Yummy fruit at your local supermarket.
If you purchase bags of Yummy fruit you may find labels to cut out from the bags that are worth 10 stickers. These stickers are put onto a collection sheet which then gets sent away in exchange for free sports gear for our school! That’s pretty awesome! So, get collecting! A good tip is to place your stickers onto plastic lunch boxes or water bottles during transport to school, if the fruit has already been eaten. Remember, the sticker must say ‘Yummy’ on it. Please bring them along to Kākāriki room and add them to our collection sheet.
Have a great week everyone.
