Welcome to wiki e whitu!

We hope you enjoying the updates on the goals this week.  The students have been working hard and honest in their reflections.  Goal setting is a challenging business and setting a plan that allows progress to be seen takes time and effort.  Please add a comment on seesaw when you can.

Some have completed their calendar art, inspired by the TS crew exhibition at Pataka. Check out seesaw for an image of your child's art. Finishing off  will happen early this week especially for those involved in the Dance Splash and Southern Zone Basketball.

On Wednesday afternoon the Councillors and all Eco Warriors are visiting Aglionby House.  Please ensure your permission slips are returned to the office. 

Thursday afternoon is the Paid Union Meeting for all teachers. Below is the blurb that went home in last weeks newsletter incase you missed it.

The NZEI and PPTA unions are holding a Paid Union Meeting from 1:30pm on Thursday 8 September 2016. It is important that as many school staff can attend as possible and so we encourage you to pick up your child from 12.30pm on that day. Please send the return slip attached to this Newsletter to school. If an adult does not come to school on Thursday 8 September to pick up your child we will look after them until 3:00pm. If you would like your child to make their own way home, please let the classroom teacher know in writing.

On Friday we created and sent home invitations  to the Grand Parents/ Caregivers Day which is on Friday 16th September, from 11-12:30.  Please check with your child if you didn't receive one or need another. We appreciate that many Grandparents and Caregivers may not be able to attend however I'm sure that those  that can come will happily share themselves with groups of children and engage in discussions with them about what it was like when they were at school. 

Over the next few weeks we will be asking the children to source information about what things were like many years ago.  This many be a great opportunity to visit, phone, skype or write to a Grandparent or someone who can help in that way. Any help you can give will be much appreciated.

Just a reminder for any outstanding chocolate money to come in please and this Friday will be Onsie day to support the Wellington Free Ambulance.

Have a great week - Whai i te wiki nui
