Election 2011

In Room 9 we are studying the 2011 Election. We are researching a political party of our choice, looking at who is in the party and what their policies are, especially the ones that effect us (like education and family issues). We are also forming our own political parties in the class. We will run a campaign, make advertising material, and have a ballot vote. The winning party will run the class for a day.

Happy Halloween!

Don't eat too many lollies and make your 'tricks' nice ones! Remember to keep safe if you are out and about and enjoy your weekend.

Water restrictions!

There are water restrictions in Atawhai today. You must not drink or use the water - for washing/cooking/showering etc. See the council website for details: http://www.nelsoncitycouncil.co.nz/water-supply-contamination-detected/

Welcome Zoe!

It's great to have you in Room 9 for Term 4. We hope you have lots of fun and make some great friends.

Welcome back to Term 4! This is a short but busy term so buckle your seatbelts. The weather is warming up fast and soon we'll be in the pool. Get your legs warmed up for running and jumping (athletics). Year 6's - are you enrolled at your Intermediate school for next year?

Rainbow Ski day...

Check here from 6am Tuesday morning to find out if we are heading to the snow or not.

Rainbow is CLOSED!
Just had the call through to say Rainbow is a no go for today. The crazy weather is here for another day. We will try to book another day.
See you at school at the normal time in your uniform.

We will send our free days to Rainbow and if they can match one of those with one of their free days then we'll get another ski date. This should happen over the next few days and we'll let you know what's happening with a postponement date as soon as we hear. Thanks for your patience.
