Pet Show

Thanks everyone for making this such a fun and successful day. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, the animals were well behaved, their owners very knowledgeable and the stalls were creative and yummy. 

Pet Show and Farmers Market

Clarkville School Agricultural Club

Pet Show and Farmers Market

This Friday is our Agricultural Club Pet Show. All Pet Projects should now be in for marking.

On the day, all the Photography entries and Pet Projects will be available for viewing in the MPF.

If you are bringing a pet to show, please have this at school between 8:30 and 9am ready for judging to begin at around 9:30am. There will be people available to help you find the correct place for your animal. We will send home a list of questions the judges may ask to help you prepare. Also be aware that these judges are giving up their time to support our pet show, so please give them the respect they deserve.

The approximate timetable for the day is as follows:

9:00 -   Judges morning tea and briefing

9:30 -   Judging begins

10:30 - Morning Tea

11:00 - Grand parade

           Calf leading

           Lamb calling

           Best Dressed

Animals are to go home after this.

Farmers Market starts at 1pm and set up is from 12pm, once all the animals have gone.

Please again be mindful that we are an Enviroschool and you are providing food and containers that support our school beliefs, as was written in the handbook information given out with all the Pet show entries last term.

Please also remember that if you are running a stall, you are responsible for the money and cleaning up of everything afterwards, including removal of any rubbish.

‘Choose to be Talented’ will start not long after 1pm, once the stalls have started trading.

Hope you are all prepared for a day of fun and entertainment.

Regards Paula and Lynley :o)

Mufti Day this Friday

Welcome back to 2017

Check out some photos from our first few days in Team Discover/Tūhura!

Welcome back to everyone!

Kia U ki te Pai - Hold fast to all that is good.

We hope you have had a fantastic Christmas and New Year period and are as keen as we are for the new school year to begin.

Lynley enjoyed a family Christmas in Queenstown and then had another great holiday camping up in Tukurua, where she enjoyed a relaxing time with family and friends.

Paula headed away on a North Island road trip and can now say that she has been from Cape Reinga to Bluff. She enjoyed fantastic weather, did lots of walks, kayaking and being with her family.

Goal Setting Day:

Just a reminder that goal setting day is on Tuesday 31 January, please remember to bring your filled out goal sheets along with you. In your hour slotted time you will have a Tictactoe to complete, so children be ready to help your parents work their way around a Tictactoe.

Staffing:

This year our part-time teacher in Tūhura is Sara Ashby, who has worked in Explore for the last two years. Sara has many years of teaching experience and we are really excited about the new ideas she will bring to our team. Sara will be around for part of Goal Setting day, so please introduce yourself.

We are also very excited to have Hayley in our team again this year, and for the same hours. 

BLOG - it is really important that you check the blog a couple of times a week to see what is happening in our team. We are looking at some new learning opportunities for Tūhura this year and information on this and how you can access these learning tools will be through the blog.
