Keeping Ourselves Safe
Room Sunflower Information
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Just to let you know that we have been doing a small
unit in our classroom this week called “Keeping ourselves safe” within our
Healthy Me topic. This is a unit run by our community police liaison, Constable
Charlotte. We are continuing to talk about these ideas in class too. These are
the areas we will look at:
1.
Confident me
2.
Safe or unsafe?
3.
No excuse for abuse
4.
Why should I tell?
5.
What have we learnt?
If you want to know more, you can look at the
following link
I have asked the children to all learn their
address, home phone number and a parental mobile number that they may need to
use in a situation that they feel unsafe. We have also talked about creating a
family password word that can be passed onto trusted adults within your friends
or family if you need them to pick up your child.
Kind regards,
Kat Rayson

Information on school camp
Room Sunflower Camp Info
2018
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
This newsletter is to inform you that I have made
arrangements for our 2018 class camp. Our theme this year is “growing together”
so I have chosen to use Bethany Camp at Kaiteriteri in order to
make the most of the wonderful natural environment on our doorstep.
The dates for our camp are Wednesday 14th,
Thursday 15th and Friday 16th November. I know it is
towards the end of the year but I have chosen these dates so we hopefully have
wonderful weather to enjoy and it is halfway through Term 4 rather than at the
end.
The outline of what we will be doing is as follows:
Wednesday: Get
to camp and enjoy some of the activities available there such as the waterslide,
orienteering, golf, adventure playground and games.
Thursday:
Drive to Marahau, walk in the National Park to Anchorage Beach. We will get a
sea shuttle back to Kaiteriteri, enjoy the playground and flying fox. Then back
to camp for dinner followed by a night time glow worm walk.
Friday: Pack
up camp, then go to Kaiteriteri to have a wonderful adventure of working
together to paddle 2 giant wakas to Split Apple Rock Beach and back! We will
then have lunch and some beach activities before returning to school by 3pm. I
can’t wait! I’m so excited! I have no doubts this will be an experience for our
children to remember forever.
The costs for this 3 day / 2-night adventure will be
approx. $135.00. We can bring this cost down considerably by doing some fundraising.
I am keen to meet with any parents who would be interested in being part of a team
that works on this for the benefit of all the class. I would like to call a
meeting next week, Wednesday 30th May, after school at 3pm
to discuss this, please come along with your fabulous ideas.
Josie, in our school office is always happy to
discuss payment plans with parents. You could pay a small amount weekly,
fortnightly or monthly, whatever works for your family.
As always, I am available to discuss with you, any
concerns or questions you may have.
Please contact me via email kat@brooklyn.school.nz or
leave a message with the office for me to call you.
Kind regards,
Kat Rayson
