Art Gallery Trip

We really enjoyed our trip to the Art Gallery on Thursday. We learnt a lot about patterns and shapes and the story of Rama.

The Art Gallery is free for Auckland residents and would be a great place for families to visit perhaps during the holidays. Your child would love to share their learning with you.

Ara Teina All Star Day

On Thursday 3^rd December Ara Teina will be hosting an Athletics Day. This will be held on Arahoe School grounds.

Students are required to wear clothes for participating in athletic activities.

 

• Shorts
• T-shirt
• Sports shoes

 

Please ensure that your child brings:

• Sunhat
• Packed lunch
• Water bottle

The Arahoe Community Group will be selling ice-blocks in the hall at lunchtime for $2.

We require parent help on the day to assist in the running of an event. If you are able to help out from 9am – 2pm please talk to your child's class teacher.

Thank you

Ara Teina Teachers

Diwali

Thank you to Kerisha and her mum for helping us celebrate Diwali. We made diyas and were able to decorate them with all sorts of materials.

Peace Day

Wednesday 11 November marks the Hindu Festival of Diwali and First World War Armistice Day.  

To mark the event Arahoe will be hosting a “Peace Day”.

We encourage all students to come to school on Peace Day in national dress and/or traditional ethnic clothes.

Each student will be gifted a battery operated candle/diya.

An Arahoe commemorative event will take place from 10:30am-12pm, on the front courts, in front of NZ flag. We welcome members of the Arahoe School community, friends and whanau to join us.

Buddy Class

Today Room 1 performed a sasa for us. They have been working really hard on this and we thought they did such a good job! Thanks for sharing Room 1.

Swimming

Swimming for Term 4 will kick off next week. Our swimming time is Tuesday afternoon (2-2:40) each week. Please send your child to school with togs and towel no matter what the weather is like, in case it becomes fine for the afternoon. Ensure all uniforms and clothes are named.
