Wiki IWA/Week 9

WIKI IWA/WEEK 9


Farewell to Kendall (Mrs Skelton) 

Thanks to all of our whānau who came in on Friday to say farewell to Kendall. We wish her and her family lots of love during this special time.  


Welcome to Kathy (Mrs Phillips)

Kathy will be joining us for two weeks until the end of term. As many of you will know, Kathy is very familiar face to all of our Timatanga children and we are really pleased she is joining us for these two weeks. 


Mufti Day Thursday - Gumboot Day

Gumbootup is a new initiative by New Zealander of the Year, Mike King, and I Am Hope. They’re aiming to raise $2million for kids who need some mental health support, and Thorrington School is holding a Mufti Day to contribute to this great cause. Tamariki are encouraged to bring a gold coin and wear gumboots and mufti this Thursday!


Cross Country  - Tuesday 9th April 

(PP Day Thursday 11th)



Sausage Sizzle @Cross Country!

Just to let you know there will be a sausage sizzle on Tuesday 9 April to coincide with the Cross Country. Children will order in the morning using the same system we use for our weekly sausage sizzle. Sausages are still $2 and you can pay your money to your home base teacher on the morning of Cross Country. 

As per normal Sausage Sizzle arrangements, your child will be able to collect their sausage at lunchtime in their home base after the Cross Country event (12.40pm)

ALSO....Our weekly sausage sizzle will be starting in TERM 2 Friday 03 May.

Family Photos to bring in 

As part of our Inquiry we have been learning our Pepeha and would love children to bring in a photo of their whānau so we can add it to our wall display. We have been making some art work to match and are recording our Pepehas on the ipad. 


Here is a great website to make your own pepeha! https://pepeha.nz/
