Wednesday 10th February

Hi all,
It's a short week after celebrating Waitangi Day. Just a couple of quick reminders...

School Stationery
All teachers have been issued with your child's stationery and will distribute it . Please don't be worried if your child says they have not been given something as yet. Teachers may hand out the various books etc as they are starting to use them in the class over the coming weeks. We will be processing the invoices for stationery and voluntary school donations etc over the next few weeks. There will be no rush to pay so please don't stress, and once the invoice comes home we can talk about spreading payments as required.

School 'Meet the Team' Picnic Tea
Please keep next Thursday evening free for our annual event. I will send out a notice with times etc. early next week.

Have a fantastic week everyone,

Gordon

Wednesday 3rd February

The day has started overcast and cool but I have a feeling we have a warm one in store!

The children are looking forward to ElGrego the Magician today. This afternoon he will perform for us as he has done over the past few years. His show is filled with thrilling illusions but also a deep and important message about kindness and caring for others. We find it an excellent way to hook our kids in to our own school values (4 R's).

Respect Ourselves

Repect Others

Tuesday 2nd February

Hi all,

A great day for all!

Thank you to everyone for such a positive and happy start to the school year.

Stationery etc

We have had a few people worried about what to buy their children in terms of books, pens etc. Please do not worry. At Waltham School we have all your child's requirements ready and waiting for them on Day 1. This means parents don't need to stress and everyone starts the year ready to learn.
Over the next few weeks we will organise and send home an invoice which you are then able to pay at your convenience.

Term Events

We are  putting the finishing touches on our Term Events List tonight. I will publish it on this blog tomorrow.

Have a great night.

Gordon
