Week 6

Hi all,

Swimming lessons started this week and there have been many students not bringing their togs. As it is part of the NZ Curriculum, swimming is compulsory and all students must do it unless they have a good reason not to. This must be supported by a note from their parent/caregiver.

The Stars of the Week are Sania Sharifi and Dulina Palliya Ralalage Don for working diligently and using their 'inside voice'. Dulina is new to New Windsor School. He has settled in quickly and moved up two reading levels already. The PB4L draw was won by Jeremaiah Wirepa-Terei.

Have a great weekend.

Mr Henderson.

Week 5

Hi all,

Swimming lessons start on Monday and go for two weeks. Please make sure your child brings their togs, a towel and goggles if they have them. Auckland is surrounded by water and it's so important for children to be able to swim.

Room 7 is in the middle of their calendar art. When complete you will be able to purchase it as a calendar, diary or mouse pad. It's a great fundraiser for the school and great idea for Christmas presents for rellies.

Stars of the Week are Lucretia Day and Mohammad Amran Safi for working diligently and using their 'inside voices'. The PB4L draw was won by Jeremaiah Wirepa-Turei.

Have a great weekend.

Mr Henderson.

Chewing/bubble gum

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder to please not give your child chewing gum or bubble gum to bring to school. We do not allow it here. If any child is caught with it they will be picking up rubbish at lunch time.
Regards,
Mr Henderson.

Week 4

Hi all,

Wow! We are nearly half way through the term and there is still lots to do. On Monday I am taking some Year 6 students to a science and technology competition at St Kentigern Boys' School. On Tuesday some Year 6 students will visit Blockhouse Bay Intermediate. On Wednesday students will represent New Windsor School at the Winter Sports Field Day, which was postponed this week due to the weather.

Stars of the Week are Sunny Cho and Markell Morris-Taualofa for their hard work and using their 'inside voices'. This is always a struggle when students are excited and there are so many in a classroom. Well done Sunny and Markell! The PB4L draw winner is Faryal Turkistani.

Have a great weekend and stay dry.

Mr Henderson.

Week 3

Hi all,

I don't know about you but I am fed up with this wet weather. It is unsettling for the children too, being stuck indoors all day. There is still money outstanding for author Stu Duval. Also, some students need to return permission slips for the Winter Sports Field Day next Wednesday, Blockhouse Bay Intermediate trip and Tri Star Gym. Please return these ASAP.

Stars of the Week are Paula Daunakamakama for his fantastic writing and Esther Faamoe for her enthusiasm in delivering milk. The PB4L draw winner is Aesia Wazir Shah.

Have a great weekend!

Mr Henderson.
