Assembly



Today at assembly we shared our self portraits. Jordana, Holly and Lochlyn were very brave and spoke in front of the WHOLE school to explain what we did and how. We thought being on stage was pretty cool!

Parent Meetings

Hi Parents and caregivers.
On Tuesday the 17th of February (this coming Tuesday) at 5:30pm all the Junior classes are having their parent meetings. This is a time to learn more about how your child’s class works and ask any questions you may have. If children attend, school age children will need to play outside unsupervised (on the playground, drawing a picture or scootering etc.) so we can meet uninterrupted.
We would love as many parents as possible to attend these meetings so we can meet you, you can meet the other parents, and we can deliver you important information all at once.
The meetings will start at 5:30 and will be no longer than half an hour. If you can’t make it please let the teacher know in advance.
Thanks
Team Ruapehu Teachers


Triathlon & Duathlon

Dear Parents / Caregivers,
Team Ruapehu Rooms 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14 will assemble in the pool area ready to begin by 11.30pm.   Rooms 11 and 12 will assemble at the pool area ready to begin at 2.00pm.  Triathlon children will race first followed by the Duathlon children.  Children without bikes do the Duathlon.

Please come along and support your child in our Triathlon/Duathlon, and meet us over by the pool. Feel free to watch from the hill overlooking the pool area. Leaving the gate area free will help us to get the children organised more quickly inside the pool area and keep this area clear and safe for our runners leaving the pool. Please do not cross the course when the children are running and biking. Bikes need to be dropped off in the morning at your child’s classroom. Your classroom teacher will set them up on the field before we start the event.  No-one will play or tamper with the bikes. 

Children need to take part in ALL aspects of our Triathlon ie: being a supporter as well as a competitor.  Supporters and their children may meet at the finish line under the Marquee or area at the side of the hall, to support and cheer on their class mates.

Please return the slip below if your child is able to bring a road worthy, correctly sized bike and a named helmet to school for the Triathlon.  There will be no sharing of bikes or helmets.  At the end of the day bikes can be collected from the Classes allocated spot.   

Let’s all have a fun day.

Team Ruapehu Teachers

A New Year

Welcome to 2015


I have set up this blog in order to share our learning journey this year. I will post notices here so you have a digital copy as well as the paper copies that get sent home. Children will be learning to blog as well and there will be a sister site set up for children's posts to be published on. When we have events at school I will endeavor to post photos from the day shortly after for you to see and share with family.




Blogging is great for:
    Creating an online community for our students and their parents
    Sharing resources and notices
    Sharing student's work and learning 
    Providing up to date information on what is happening at our school.
    Integrating multimedia of all descriptions (videos, photo stories, podcasts)
    Receiving feedback (we love receiving your comments and suggestions)
    Providing opportunities for students to read (posts) and write (posts and comments),
    Posting  homework and extra learning experiences



Your child will be bringing home a notice asking for
 your permission to use the blog and have their photos shared. I have posted a copy below also.
What a great year this is going to be! Please comment and follow our blog to help keep the learning conversations alive.
