GREATS and GRANDS’ day

 

A big welcome to all grandparents on Friday 25th October

PROGRAMME FOR THE DAY

9.15 - 10.15am- In classes

Meet your grandchild in their room. Enter the school through the school office where maps are available. Senior students will be ready to welcome and guide you. If you have more than one grandchild to visit, please feel free to move between classes in this time.

10.15am- Morning Tea

Tea and Coffee provided in the hall for our Greats and Grands. Children will show you to the hall, and then will go back to class. Due to the large numbers of Greats and Grands, the children will eat and play outside as usual.

10.45am- Special Feature Tours-You may join our gully guides to see our Education for Sustainability projects around the school. Alternatively, you may view and learn about our eco classroom- The Living Room, complete with landscaping and a beehive!  This year we also offer an Arts and Authors tour, where you can see some of the exciting displays around the school. These tours will leave in groups from the hall after morning tea. If you are unable to participate in these tours, please feel free to remain in the hall while the school band warms up.

11.25am- Return to the hall to enjoy our Kapa Haka, Choir, Jump Jam group, Ukelele group and School Band. Please be seated by 11.30am.

12.30 pm- You are welcome to have a family picnic (weather permitting) on the field if you wish. Please be sure to inform the class teacher and the office staff if your grandchild is leaving school after lunch.

Greats and Grands Club- If you are interested in helping children at school by listening to them read on a regular basis please add your name to the list in the office on your way out, and we will be in contact.

Note: The school book fair will be open all day in the library- a great idea for Christmas presents!

Have a great day!
