Dear Parents and Caregivers
The term has certainly gone fast and it is hard to believe that next week is the last week of term. Each morning the children have been doing running practice in preparation for the Cross Country that was postponed from earlier this year. Please make sure that your child wears appropriate shoes and clothing for this.
Slippers and Sunhats
Over the next week your child will be bringing home their slippers. Please make sure that your child has a named sunhat to wear from the first day of next term. You can still order one from the school office. Orders close 7 October.
Meetings with Parents
I have enjoyed meeting with parents over the past two weeks about class placements for next year. If you would still like to meet me about your child next week please email me on buckley@muritai.school.nz so I can sort out a suitable time and day.
Toolbox Parent Groups
The next Parent group programme entitled 'The Middle Years' (6 to 12 years) Make the most of these years while your children still want to be part of your team. These will be on Fridays from 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. from October 28th to December 9th in Lower Hutt. These small group courses involve a trained facilitator and are tailored to your needs. There are six sessions and they are positive, practical and fun. The sessions cover topics such as building character and self esteem, emotional resilience, discipline and much more. It costs $67.50 per person or $90 per couple. If you would like more details about this course please contact Natalie Alabaster Ph 934 8483 or Email HuttTBX@Parentsinc.org.nz or book online at www.TheParentingPlace.com They also have programmes for The Early Years (0 to 6 years) and Tweens and Teens (12 years plus) at other times of the year. If you are interested in these please also contact them using the above details.
This week
We are looking forward to being in the audience of the 'Wearable Arts Show' and seeing the amazing costumes our siblings, buddies and older friends have made. We will be watching the dress rehearsal this afternoon and some of us will also be attending the shows. There will be early lunches on Monday and Tuesday due to the performance times.
On Friday we will be having assembly in which we will be farewelling Mr Skilton. You are very welcome to join us for this. School will be finishing at the usual time.
