Fabulous sharing today Junior Team. Awesome songs and singing. Well done!!

The Year 0-1 team has been learning about performing and what makes an effective performance. We have also been learning how to be a good audience.

 On Tuesday 10th December the Year 0-1 team will be having a sharing morning from 11:00am-12:00pm

This will be held in the school hall where each class will perform a Christmas song.

At 12:00pm children, parents, and whanau are invited to join us on the field (weather permitting) for a 

Packed Lunch Picnic

Children and parents can bring along a yummy packed lunch (in lunch boxes) and we will sit together under the trees on the field to celebrate the end of the year.

We thank you for your support this year and we

wish you all a safe and happy Christmas.
