Kia ora whānau,
As the term moves towards the second half we are getting very busy with planning for our wearable arts celebration. This week the children have decided what costume they want to wear. They have then planned and designed their costume. Ask your child what they are going to be. Please see below for further information.
Unfortunately, some of our dear wee poppets have been removing the springs from our pens which results in them not being able to be used! We have also got incredibly low supplies of glue sticks. Please could you purchase over the weekend two pens and one glue stick for your child and get them to give them to their teacher. Many thanks :)
Next week we welcome Hannah McCoy into the L space. Hannah is a student teacher from Canterbury University that will be working with L3 until the end of the term. She is a Year 2 student and we are looking forward to having her at Huriawa Thorrington.
Wearable Arts
We Need Your Help
Wonderful L space helpers needed to support teachers with the creations of wearable arts costume for our performance in Week 10.
a). ALL children are asked to bring to school (in a named bag) a black top and black leggings/shorts by WEEK 7, please.
b). Can you sew? Do you have a sewing machine? Please give Mrs Booth or Mrs Moore your name if you are able to help sew some very basic wearable arts.
c). The following materials are needed:
wire
bolts of cloth
big boxes of cardboard

Orderings
Your child should have brought a coupon home this week to support the school through purchasing from Orderings this weekend - 22nd and 23rd August, 10% goes to the school - an easy fundraiser for our new playgrounds.
Library
The time has come to start preparing for the redevelopment of our wonderful school. As part of this preparation, our library is being relocated temporarily to HB13 (prefab behind Bill’s shed). We are looking for volunteers to help us relocate books and small shelving units. If you are able to help please email pta@thorrington.ac.nz. Tasks will include packing the boxes, pushing the trolley with boxes to the new library, dismantling and reinstalling shelving, and unpacking the books. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you wish to have a family photo (only siblings who are at school please), please advise the office at sandy.vallance@thorrington.
Other rooms will go in class order, starting with the youngest children. We are hopeful that all will be done by lunchtime.
Many thanks
Te Kura o Huriawa Thorrington PTA
