Commonwealth Games

This was a great success. The children had smiles on their faces all day and had a fantastic time. They all got to try something new and everyone gave it all a go, which was great to see. Thankyou to all the parents who came along to support their child. Results, information and pictures can be found on the school website.

Swimming

This term we will be visiting Wharenui for our class swimming lessons. The children will be grouped according to ability and will be taught skills depending on this level. This is a great opportunity for all children, even if they do lessons outside school, the classes with help to develop their swimming at all levels. The classes will be run by qualified instructors and will have lots of support and encouragement. Transport of the children will be confirmed later so please continue to check the newsletters.

Your child will need to bring swimming togs, towel, goggles and hat if needed every swimming session and these will ALL need to be named.

Cathedral singing

This year we are lucky to be invited to sing in the Cathedral in the town centre. Children will travel with their classes to sing Christmas songs and donate a gift. Information about this, and asking for parent help on the busses with come home shortly. This is an amazing event, and a lovely way for the children to sing and celebrate the end of a year. If you are unable to help but would still like to come and hear the singing, you can go to the cathedral yourself.
