Welcome to week 7

Kia ora koutou katoa,

Thank you all for your aroha and support that I received with the recent passing of my gran. The cards, emails, texts and understanding from everyone was most appreciated by myself and our whanau. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.

In the two weeks that have passed since our last post we have enjoyed many awesome achievements by our tamariki which are shared below. All of our classes are in the midst of doing our end of year assessments and your child's end of year report will go home on Wednesday the 7th December.
