Inter School Soccer

On Tuesday 17th May the senior boys soccer team participated in the inter school soccer tournament at war memorial park. It was a great day. The rain stayed away but the wind was very chilly. We played 5 games in total and came out with 3rd place. Thank you to our coach Mr Palfrey for taking us for trainings.

We currently have six student teachers from Auckland University who are doing their 5 week practicum at our school. Welcome to Hayley Gorden, Michelle Lees, Nicky Bloy, Edward Gee, Aranui Toatoa and Jessica Oakes.

On Friday 20th May our Year 5 & 6 classes organised a Market Day to raise funds for their upcoming school camp. Thank you to all the families and friends who helped on the day by either providing baked goods or coming and supporting the different stalls, games and activities.

We always want your children to be at school learning but there has been an outbreak of gastroenteritis, and the DHB have advised us that a child needs to be free of symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea for 48 hours as they are still contagious before they return to school .Please encourage your children to wash their hands often.

Please be reminded that Queens Birthday is on Monday 6 June and is a Public Holiday.

Uniform - the uniform does not allow for any different coloured t-shirt under their polo shirt. If students are cold they can wear singlets underneath and can put on their sweatshirt

“By the time students leave us in Year 6 we want them to be confident, inquisitive, articulate problem solvers, who can use a varity of communication tools to make sense of their world”

It’s important students learn to use a bank account as soon as they can. That way, managing money becomes a part of their everyday life and they’ll get comfortable with it sooner.At Manurewa East School we provide a school banking programme with the ASB. If you would like to open a Headstart Savings account for your child please ask the office for an application form. Once you have completed and signed the form for your child you can return it to the school office and we will forward the application to the ASB on your behalf. The ASB will contact you directly with your child’s bank account number. We have a secure ASB School banking deposit box at school where your child can put their money into a deposit envelope and post it into the secure deposit box. The deposit box will be emptied on our School Banking Day, which is Thursday and the banking deposit envelopes are delivered to the bank.

On Saturday 21st May 21 Year 5/6 students were given the opportunity to go to the OMGTech! Rangers event in Auckland City. At the event, our learners got to try out coding, robotics, 3D printing, unmaking and science. It was a wonderful day and everyone who attended was a great representative for our school!

We would like to thank OMGTech for offering us this fantastic experience, Mr Leilua, Mr Tauau, Mr Reedy and Mrs Leilua

Market Day for 2016 was held last Friday and was a great success!

We read the book ‘The Pig that Learned to Jig’. We drew some pigs using white pencils on black paper to go up on our classroom wall. They look amazing!
