A huge 'Thank you' to all those fabulous parents who gave up their time to make our Production costumes. You were so amazing, very organised and so fast that everything was finished on Thursday morning. We are very grateful to each one of you. The children are certainly going to look so fantastic up on stage next week.
PRODUCTION UPDATE
For the evening performances, we need all children to be at school at 6.30 p.m. All Year 0 and 1 children will go to room 1 while all Year 2 will go to room 2. Children will be getting dressed into their costumes in these areas and then will go into room 3 to have their faces painted. They then return to rooms 1 and 2 to await their stage performance. At the end of their performance they will return to these rooms to be collected by their parents (or other adult as designated by the parent) at 7.30 p.m. If you have booked tickets for an evening show please arrange for your child to be collected by another adult, relative, friend or someone in your social network. Please inform your child's teacher on the day the name of the person who will be collecting your child if it is not you.
It is a long day at school for our youngest children and usual programmes will continue throughout the week so we need them to be picked up and taken home to bed as soon as possible. The children will also become more tired as the week progresses. Staff members need to go home to their families and also teach each day so please do not be late picking up your child. Once you are watching the show you will stay in the hall until the performance is over so you will be unable to come and collect your child and take them back into the hall. Your school age child/ren will have the opportunity to watch the entire show at the dress rehearsal.
WANTED - Can you help?
Adults to do face painting in room 3 at 6.30 p.m. each night of the production. If you can help please add your name to the roster in room 3. The face painting of year 0 and 1 involves drawing whiskers and a pink nose. It is not full face or intricate.
Thank you to the lovely pre school parents who attended our 'Starting School at five' information evening last week. I hope you now feel better informed about what lies ahead for you and your child.

If you are or know of anyone who has a four year old child who will be enrolling with us could you please phone our school office 562 8409 with details of your name, your child's name and date of birth and your contact phone numbers so that I can contact you. I am working out staffing for next year and need to know how many children will be turning five throughout 2011.
VISION AND HEARING TESTING
If your New Entrant child was tested by Jackie Jennings they will have brought home a blue pamphlet outlining their results. This test is a screening test only. If you have concerns with your child's vision or hearing please contact an optometrist, developmental optometrist or audiologist.
EMERGENCY DRILLS
In light of the recent event in Christchurch and the rapid rising of the Hutt River this weekend, please be reassured that we practise emergency drills at school. We teach the children what to do in the unlikely event of a fire, earthquake or tsunami occurring while at school so that they know how to respond in an emergency situation if required. We have plenty of the necessary supplies of food and water. It is a timely reminder that if you have changed your contact numbers both cell phones and home or changed addresses or workplaces please inform Sue at the office so that all our details on your child are correct.
BALLET
On Wednesday we will be visited by the ballet and all children throughout the school will be attending this performance. The cost of this show will be taken from your child's activity fee.
WEEK 10
During the last week of the term we will be involved in the Annual 'Clean up New Zealand Week' project again. All Junior children will be working alongside their big buddies to clean up an area of our beach. The younger child will search and point out where the rubbish is to their bigger buddy who will then pick it up and place it in a rubbish bag ready for collection by Hutt City Council. The big buddy will be wearing gloves for this.
On the last day of the term, Friday September 24th, school finishes at the usual time of 2.55 p.m.
Kind regards
Maureen Buckley
Deputy Principal
