We are slowly getting used to being at school.  We had lots of tired children at the end of last week!  Luckily Friday was a really fun day with a powhiri to welcome all our new staff and students, team building with the rest of the A-Team, and a special assembly where Charlotte from Peaches and Pickles told us all about Passion Fridays.

Passion Fridays are new to Whangaparaoa School and we are all excited about being involved in encouraging our tamariki with the passions that they have.  The eldest and only child in each whanau should have received a newsletter today outlining Passion Friday and the cost that it will incur.  Please be sure to have your forms into the school office before the end of the week if you wish for your child to be involved in any of the classes.

We are busy learning a school song and a new dance that we will hopefully be able to perform at the end of the term with the rest of the school.  We are having heaps of fun learning them!  Here are the links so that you can practise them at home:
