Items to update

Outings

In Term 1 we have two outings planned;

Tuesday 21st February all children are invited to come to the Hamilton City Zoo for the morning. The bus will have us

back to school by 12pm for children leaving at lunchtime to be collected. The particular aspects of the Zoo we will be talking

with the children about are—carnivore/herbivore/omnivore and habitats. A permission slip is attached for this and parent

attendance is welcomed.

Thursday 29th March we would like to take children 4½ and older to Rotorua to Paradise Valley Springs. This is a full

day and lengthy bus ride so is only suitable for the older children. Permission slips will be issued closer to the time—mark

your diary now if you have a child with a birth date before 29/9/07.

Primary

Submission forms are now available at the sign

in desk. (an electronic copy is also attached to

this email)

If you could complete a submission for support

of our plans it will be much appreciated. The

form asks you to write just a short statement—

even if you are not sure if your child will attend

our Primary Class, having the option and choice

available has to be an advantage to the communi-

ty, So the more submissions that are made the

better.
