This Friday 4th September - Toy Day in Patiki

 Hello All,

Our wonderful Patiki children have filled up the Pompom jar again and it is reward time!

The focus has been: Kindness towards others and using their manners.

So this Friday children can bring a toy to school and in the afternoon they can have fun playing with their friends.

Please make sure the toy is appropriate for school and isn't too precious. No electronic devices.

Thank you all for your support,

Kirsty and Tracy

Interviews

 Good afternoon 

You will see that the interview times have come out today. We wanted to just clarify the booking procedure for you.

These interviews are for Year 1 children.

You will hear from either Tracy or Kirsty so that you know which teacher to book with.

If you haven't heard then your child is Year 2 and reports and interviews for them will be next term. (Term 4)

Many thanks.

Tracy and Kirsty.
