Woodlands Park Hall of Fame

Just when you thought I'd forgotten all about it, I've actually been quietly checking if your nominees really are outstanding. And ... next Friday we will have our first assembly to announce the successful nominees. As this will be a special assembly, please wear something ... special or bring something nice ... or sparkly ... or fancy to put on at lunchtime so it won't get wrecked or muddy. Parents, whanau as always are most welcome to attend. Selena.

Bits and bobs

Scholastic Book Fair

Firstly, thank-you to the community for supporting the Scholastic Book fair. We got to choose books for the library to the value of over $1000. Actually, we let the children choose, and how well they did. Thank-you to the following parents who helped out: Samantha, Charlotte, Bernadette (Parent & Teacher), Sarah and Helen. We couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to Selena for staying up late making beautiful flowers that transformed the hall into a tropical island.

Trolly on wheels

We have loaded the library software onto computers in all sixteen classrooms and a group of library monitors are doing a FABULOUS job of making sure the trolly is stocked with age appropriate books. They trundle over to the classrooms and trundle back again afterwards, in shifts, and seem to love the responsibility. Thanks to the teachers for embracing this - all in the name of reading.
