Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

 Hello Parents and Caregivers,

We would like to pass on a huge thank you for all your support and kindness during 2020. It has certainly been a year we will never forget.

A special thank you to all the parents that volunteered this year for class trips, putting books away, woodwork and everything else in between.

The children are all deserving of a lovely holiday and a Merry Christmas.

See you all around in 2021.

Week 8 - December this week, the count is on to Christmas!!!

 Hello All,

We hope you had a lovely weekend and didn't get caught up in the crazy shopping sales, although lots of good bargains in time for Christmas.

Patiki children loved their swimming days last week. Please remember the following days each week:

-Tuesday (lunchtime optional swim)

-Thursday and Friday class swim

A special thank you to Juliet (Leo's Mum) for offering up her Friday morning to help our Patiki children make little New World Plants.

Please remember if your child is in Year 2 you need to make a parent interview time for next week. An email from Mike was sent out last week regarding this. Thank you.

We ask that you remind your child to return their Poetry book in the morning so that we can continue to use this book during the week.
