Good evening everyone,

I hope you all received your Mother's Day invitation on Friday. This will be held on Monday, 11 May at 12.00 pm in Kopuwai. Ideally, we would love every Mum to come along, but if you are not able to make it, could you please arrange for Nana, Auntie or a family friend to attend instead. We would like every child to have somebody to serve, please. 

This term is Poetry Eisteddfods. Children are asked to select a poem from their Poetry Book or another of their choice. Please introduce your poem, say why you chose it and deliver with expression in a loud, clear voice.  

Homework- Keep up a little each day. Roll and Reads, Spelling list and Maths basic facts. Thank you

Thank you also to so many of you who have put your name down for PMP. We now have three helpers for Thursdays, which makes a big difference. 

This week-

Thursday - 9.00 PMP. Children, please wear sports uniforms. 2.00 pm Kopuwai and Mata-Au visit Town Library.

Friday - Assembly 1.40 pm followed by House Groups.

Thanks heaps
