Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou, Greetings to
you all
There are 9 weeks in this term. The last day is Friday 12th Dec. Our 4th term is always a busy one, and we have a lot of events happening. Please keep an eye on your newsleCers and noDces and on the website and Facebook for the latest updates. There is a comprehensive list on the leE. We are appreciaDve of the parents who have filled in the form for the CraE Fair & Hangi to let us know how they can help. There are 2 forms coming home today for helpers. Please choose an area you would be able to help with and send the form back. Thank you. I am puLng my body on the line again under the dunking machine at the craE fair. This year I decided to share the j o y ! W e a r e a l s o changing the format. We have 15 minute slots and are asking people to bid to get the opportunity to dunk someone first. Meng Foon, our Mayor has agreed to go under at 3.30pm. If you are keen to have the first ‘go’ at Meng, myself or Jonty practicing
his cricket skills.
another teacher, please put your bid on the enclosed dunking sheet and return to school. We will put the bids up on a board and you can increase your bid up to the last minute. The 2nd highest bidder will get the next opportunity and so on. It is only for 15 minutes…! SUNHATS: these need to be worn every day in Term 4.
