Fun Run

We have had another fantastic week with our fundraising. We are on track to reach our goal and it is all thanks to you and your effort. We have over 50% of

 children who have made a profile. There is still time to make a profile and collect sponsors. Please keep sharing the link regularly. You will find the button just under your name and our school's name. Please read the booklet the children brought home for more information.

Forensic Science

 Kieran's Dad saw that we had a go at using some forensic science to solve the whodunnit science kit so he came in to show us what he does. 

We even got to have a go at finding fingerprints using the real gear. 

Kendall was in the Daily Post.

 

 Wow, on Friday our students we involved in a range of events. I hope everyone had a great day. 

This week sees a continuation of Production rehearsals, there may be some interruptions to our classroom programme, however the skills learned through being involved in the production are just as important.

Fantastic Fundraising

The effort and enthusiasm from students has been fantastic and we’ve had a great start to our

big fundraiser for the year, as we were unable to hold a Gala Day.

Can your child come up with ideas to help them fundraise - chores, helping a neighbour in the

garden, and I am sure there are many more ideas they can think of.

Please keep sharing your child's link

schoolfunrun.co.nz, share your online fundraising link via SMS, Email and Social Media. If someone would like

to sponsor your child and give them cash, they can do this.  Please take the money to the office,

with your child's name and room number and we will be able to add the amount to their profile.

THANK YOU! For the support we have received from everyone.  It isn’t too late to make a profile

for your child if you haven’t done one yet.

How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email or text) and let the fundraising begin. The children can offer to do a chore, help in some way to exchange for sponsorship. The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collect stickers, earn badges and see the leaderboard.

Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form.

WIN JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS

The class who has the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.

Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday 20 September.

Fun Run

 Today your child will be bringing home information for the upcoming Fun Run. Can whanau please follow the instructions in the notice and brochure for signing up children with an account and help them fundraise.  There are spare notices and brochures in class.
