Welcome back

Julie Cronin from Te Mata School Home & School Committee

A great start to term 3.

A great start to term 3.

I managed to reunite the first 2 lost jumpers of the term with their owners. Or rather reunited one and returned one to the correct classroom, as the child it belongs to is still on holiday. I'm thinking it was taken home by the wrong child last term. As my sons was last year.

I'm still hopeful of it being returned. Has anyone got a jumper with the name Levi Smith on the tag in (likely very faded) blue pen? If you have, could you let me know or drop it into Room 1.

Anyhoo, cross country training started today. I hope everyone has their running shoes. It's a bit chilly to be running barefoot at the moment.

We also have a lot of coughs and colds down the rounds. So please remember tissues or hankies and if you think they would be too sick to go swimming, they are too sick to come to school. As much as we like to encourage it, sharing isn't always caring.

Heres to a great term 3. Oh, and we'll be welcoming Principle Mike Bain back this week. We can't wait to hear what he has learned in his travels. Thanks so much to Heather Wilkie for stepping into the boss role and running the school. You did a fantastic job.

Teasmaid

Lisa from Havelock North

Does anyone have a working teasmaid for sale? I'm thinking ex-UK folks will know what I'm talking about. Pretty near impossible to buy one new hear, and I'm looking to get one for my wife's birthday.
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks,

Martin Hayes

UPDATE, I adopted a puppy from Napier SPCA, this is my wee Pepper, 5months old, I have had her now for 5weeks, she is super cute, super bubbly and am sure super intelligence will follow soon lol! I have had to remove my floor rugs not coz she is chewing them but because I am over straightening them as she loves to come bolting through the door and skidding on them, is rather entertaining for her, but I cringe at the thought of her breaking something in her path, she dose sit and wait for her food now, this makes me happy, coz I know I not getting jumping on as if I was the food. is so much fun having this adorable puppy in my home! wish I could have taken them all home, so if your looking for a puppy to adopt go see our local SPCA's!!! :-)

- The most common kiwi stress relief is to exercise! Coming in at a close second was .. of course .. FOOD!

Two more days of freedom, for the kids, and insanity for us parents and then we are back to it.

Hands up who is looking forward to it 🖐

As much as I love my kid, I'm ready for the holidays to be over. But only because I love working with the little monsters, no matter how loud and crazy they (we) get. Those who have seen me teach at Hilton Brown know this to be true.

I hope you are all ready. Jumpers and jackets all cleaned and aired. Those forgotten lunches hosed out of the bottom of the school bag, and the togs ready for swimming. Yup, I said swimming. Junior swimming lessons start in bout 6 weeks on Monday September 4th. The week after the cross country.

It's going to be a busy term for everyone, so get your rest this weekend and be ready to roar into it next Monday.

And I hope you've all booked your parent teacher meetings. They are the second week of term.

We are also still accepting donations for our fundraiser event in September.

Why is honey so expensive?

Sonia from Parkvale

It seems to be so expensive at the moment. The cheapest I could find for 500g was $10. I'm pretty sure not that long ago it was half that. Is there a reason, or am I remembering wrong?
