Parents/Caregivers Science Survey:

7YY is currently winning the Tour De Science Survey with 10 responses so far… 7MB, 7ST and 8HE are hot on their heels with 9 each. 8GS is at the tail of the leading pack with 8.

Back in the peloton some classes to watch are 7LB and 8TT, both on 6 and 8MB on 4.

Well done for Sophie for using the crossing on Wharenui Rd this morning. It is really important to use crossings and cross carefully. The roads are far too busy to cut across, especially in the morning rush. 
Ka rawe to those of you who are being helpful and  responsible when leaving school and passing our local shops. The reason we ask you to use your local dairy is to help students meet the Metro bus expectations around behaviour, food and drink. This decision is supported by the dairy owner across the street from us and also extends to the other food outlets in the block. Thanks              
Mōrena koutou. Rāhina marks the beginning of Te wiki o te reo Māori. Get practising over the weekend. Your kupu knowledge might just come in handy…

I have been super impressed with your use of te reo in the playground over the last wiki. You are inati (amazing!). Nōnāianei is a word we can use to say today or right now. Nōnāianei try asking someone how they are feeling – “Kei te pehea koe?” I know many of you are familiar with this pātai and answer so see if you can help your classmates out

Kids’ lit with Rochelle today at 12.20pm.
I enjoyed walking around the playground yesterday seeing so many of you enjoying your lunchtime playing. I was a little disappointed to see quite a bit of rubbish around though. Thinking that our value is Kaitiakitanga I was hoping to give away some tohu for those people actively making our environment a little better. Maybe today will be the day I can! I will be looking, thanks, Mr Tappenden
