Week 7 update

First up, THANK YOU to Kevin and Mel Maxted and everyone else who made the mystery bottle stall a huge success at this years Monster Fair. I wanted to pick a stall that wasn't going to be too daunting for parents who are new to the school this year ;)

Athletics day

• We are set for a fun day on Tuesday. The norwester looks like it will be turning up in the afternoon. We often complete all the events before 3pm and your family are welcome to exit school early on the day.
• Half filled water bottles iced in the freezer the evening before can be a nice treat during the heat of our athletics day. The tip is to avoid filling the bottle completing the night before and then completing filling the bottle the next morning with tap temperature water. I have seen too many children waiting until the middle of the day for the contents of their drink bottle to melt. It's a South Island issue ;) The children will have their drink bottle with them at each activity.
• Parents get to race in the afternoon.
