  Week 3 Notices -  May 16, 2021 Malo e lelei to all our students and parents. We have had some wonderful learning taking place over the last few weeks. Our concept for this term is Health and Wellbeing and our children took part in some wonderful ignition activities, learning alongside different teachers and seeing the importance of eating healthily, exercising, and learning how important parts of our bodies need to be looked after and also the ability to self regulate through mindfulness. These will hopefully spark some interest and passion for our children. It is important to discuss this at home with your child too. Rooms 16 and 17 will be running the assembly this Friday. All parents and caregivers are welcome to come along. Assembly starts at 2:05. Many children will have a roll in the assembly.
