Week 7

Last weeks movie fundraiser

Big thanks our fantastic mums who joined us for the movie Bad Moms last Thursday.  What a laugh!  It was awesome to see such a big Kowhanga contingent. Nice one! 

Pataka trip tomorrow 

We are visiting Pataka in Porirua tomorrow morning as part of our Changes unit, leaving just after 9am.  It is important that all children are at school before the bell rings at 8.55am. Unfortunately we won’t be able to wait for those that are late and they will be accommodated in another class. Please ensure that children have appropriate clothing, morning tea/lunch and a drink bottle in their bag.  

Parents who are joining us - can you please flick us a quick email to confirm that you are still available to come along.  Thanks. 



Calendar Art


Over the last few weeks Claire has been busy organising Calendar Art as part of a Hutt Central School fundraising initiative. They look fabulous and will be ready to view in the school office at some stage over the next couple of weeks.  We will keep you posted. 

Union Meeting on Thursday

On Thursday afternoon a number of teachers will be attending the Paid Union Meeting for all NZEI members in relation to the proposed changes in education.  This is the extract from the school newsletter last week: 

The NZEI and PPTA unions are holding a Paid Union Meeting from 1:30pm on Thursday 8 September 2016. It is important that as many school staff can attend as possible and so we encourage you to pick up your child from 12.30pm on that day. Please send the return slip attached to this Newsletter to school. If an adult does not come to school on Thursday 8 September to pick up your child we will look after them until 3:00pm. If you would like your child to make their own way home, please let the classroom teacher know in writing.

Onesie/PJ day 

On Friday the school councillors have organised a onesie/PJ day to raise money for the Wellington Free Ambulance.  Children can come to school in their PJs.  Please bring a gold coin donation to help Wellington Free Ambulance. 

Grandparents day

Your child will have brought home a notice and invitation for Grandparents Day, to be held between morning tea and lunch next Friday 16th September.  We are asking that children invite their grandparents to join us in class for activities, discussions, and lunch.  Multiple grandparents welcome, but equally if grandparents are unable to attend there will certainly be plenty to share around! 

Comings and Goings

We are both released on Wednesday - Andrea and Mrs Muzzy will be in the classroom.  

See you tomorrow! 

Claire and Amy
