Red Rocks Walk – Thursday 4th December
Weather
permitting, we will walk to Red Rocks, eat lunch there, and return to school in
the afternoon. All children will need to bring a substantial lunch, a big drink
bottle of water, good walking shoes, a raincoat, sunblock, and a hat. We need
parents to help drive children to the start of the walk at the parking bay by
the Owhiro Bay Quarry at 9.15am, and to meet us there at 2.00pm and drive us
back to school. We also need parents to spend the day walking with us to and
from Red Rocks. We are also looking for someone with a 4WD who could drive
along the track with us with extra water and first aid supplies in case of
emergency. If you can help in any or all of these ways, please let us know on
the permission slip below. If the weather is looking dodgy we will make a
decision about the walk on the morning of Thursday 4th December and
post details on the Island Bay School facebook page by 7.30am.
Zoo sleepover – M12 & M13: Wednesday 10th
December, M11 & M14: Thursday 11th December
This is going to
be a fantastic experience. While you’ve already received newsletters about
this, the key information for the sleepover is:
· Meet at the zoo entrance at 7pm on the day
of your sleepover.
· Bring: a sleeping bag, pillow, pyjamas, morning
tea for the next day, lunch for the next day at school that doesn’t need
refrigeration (alternatively parents can drop off children’s lunch at school
the next day).
· Parents (who’ve been contacted already)
will collect children in cars at 10.30am the next morning and drop them back to
school where they will continue a normal school day until 3pm as usual.
Keep an eye on the
school newsletter for other schoolwide events before the end of the year.
Thanks for all
your support of our learning this year!
Nga mihi,
Shanon, Adele,
Ximena, and Amy A
