Newsletter 11 Term 02
Hello, Tēnā koutou katoa, 你好, Nǐ hǎo
Welcome
Welcome back everyone to Term 2. I hope everyone
had a great break and is refreshed for the new term.
Welcome to our new children and their families. We
had 32 new children start with us on Monday. Our
current roll is 646.
Silverdale School Why
Below is what we want our children to be at Silverdale
School. This is what we want to instil in our children
when they are at school. We also want our children
to display these attributes when they are outside the
school. We believe with working in partnership with
the home we can set our children up to be successful
and productive members of our society.
Our Vision
Learn to Journey - Journey to Learn
Ako ki te haere - Haere ki te ako
Our Mission
Actively prepare each child to take responsibility for
their own life-long learning, values and behaviour, in
partnership with the home and community.
Our Values
Kindness/Atawhai
Excellence/Hiranga
Respect/Whakaute
Integrity/Ngākau pono
As learners we have a Growth Mindset and show the
GRIT attributes:
Resilience - perseverance, managing distractions,
noticing, absorption
Resourcefulness - questioning, capitalising, making
links, reasoning, imagining
Reflectiveness - planning meta-learning, distilling,
revising
Reciprocity - imitation, interdependence, empathy and listening, collaboration
GRIT is passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. It is the ability to
persist in something you feel passionate about and persevere when you face obstacles.

2018 School Charter
A school’s charter sets the direction for the school and identifies the priorities the board
expects the principal to be leading.
The Education Act requires every school's board of trustees to:
prepare and maintain a charter
send a reviewed and updated charter to the Ministry of Education every year.
Our charter is the key-planning document for our school. It includes strategic aims and
annual plans which:
reflect the goals and aspirations of our community has for our school and our students
for the next 3 years
outlines how our school is implementing the government's priorities as set out in the
National Education Guidelines and the National Administration Guidelines
identify the key areas our board will focus on, both in the longer term and the coming
year, to improve the progress and achievement of all of our students.
Our draft school charter is on the website for community consultation. If you have any
comment on the school charter please contact me.
ANZAC Day
Thank you to everyone who came along last
Wednesday to the ANZAC Day Parade at Hibiscus
Coast Community RSA. Silverdale School was well
represented and it was great to see so many children
and parents remembering those who served, those
who are still serving and honouring our veterans.
Anzac Day
By Grace-Maia Taylor, Room 14
On the Wednesday 25 April, Silverdale School
gathered at Hibiscus Coast Community RSA to
honour the soldiers that went to World War 1 and
World War 2 and other wars.
We had amazing turnout of students from Silverdale
School. The 11:00 am service included a walking
parade which our students took part in with respect.
There were also a lot of clubs and schools, veterans
and onlookers. Our wreath was laid by Riley and
myself. Overall it was really nice to celebrate Anzac
day with everybody.
Playgrounds
Over the next few weeks we will be replacing the bark in the playgrounds with specialised
matting during this time the playgrounds will be closed, we ask that if you use the
playgrounds after school hours that you stay off the playgrounds when this work is being
completed, thanks.
New Playground
Starting either June or July we will be building a new playground for our children. I will keep
you up to date as I receive more information. A big thank you to all our parents/families
and previous parents/families for their fantastic fundraising efforts, without these efforts we
wouldn’t be getting a new playground.
Netball
Thank you to all the parents who have put their hand up to help out with our netball teams.
Without your involvement we would not be able to give our children the opportunities that
they get.
City Mission Mufti Day – This Friday 4 May
The City Mission desperately needs our help! In the past 3 months the Mission has provided
3,253 emergency food parcels to desperate families and individuals. These food parcels
have contained 49,417 cans of food and as a result their stock is nearly completely used
up. On Friday we will have a mufti day with the cost being a can of food. While anything is
appreciated their wish list contains the following: canned spaghetti, canned tomatoes,
canned vegetables, canned fruit and canned soup.
Please come to school on Friday in mufti (non uniform clothing) with a canned item and
help us support those in need.

How To Help Your Child at School
As a parent, there are many things you can do at home to help your child have a good
school year. These include making sure your child gets enough sleep, getting them to
school on time, and reading at home every day. Below are some other tips.
A healthy diet and exercise
Children who eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise can concentrate better during
the school day. It is important that your child eats a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and
vegetables, and has opportunities to exercise every day through a sports team, fun activity,
or playtime outside.
Sleep
Getting enough sleep will help your child get up on time, feel good, and be ready for a full
day of learning. Children need different amounts of sleep at different ages.
5-6 Years Old: 10 - 12 hours per day
7-12 Years Old: 10 - 11 hours per day
12-13 Years Old: 9 - 10 hours per day
Getting to school, every day and on time
It will be easier for your child to complete daily learning, home learning, if they get to school
on time every day. Limit the time your child misses for family trips and activities. Contact the
school immediately if your child is absent.
Home learning
Help your child set a regular time and place for home learning. Choose a time that works
well for your family's schedule. Find a place that is quiet and has good lighting. Make sure
your child has supplies such as pens, pencils, paper etc. Ask your child to show you their
finished home learning each night so that you can see what they are learning and confirm
that they are completing all their home learning.
Limit television, videogame, and computer time
Limit the time your child spends watching TV, playing video games, and using the
computer. When possible, do these activities together, and look for educational programs
and games. Help your child understand that they should never give out personal
information on the computer or talk to strangers online.
Talking about school together
Ask your child to tell you about the school day. Ask them what they have learnt, and how
they felt during the day. Listen carefully to their answers, and help them think of ways to
solve any problems that they might be having in their schoolwork or in the classroom.
Reading
Set aside time to read with your child each day. You can make reading a part of daily
routines by reading stories at bedtime and keeping lots of books and magazines in the
house.
Learning at home
Help your child learn at home by sharing activities together, singing, talking, and telling
stories. Visit educational places such as museums, the zoo, the park, or a historical
monument. Find out what your child's interests are, and look for activities and books that
are connected to that interest.

The 40 Hour Famine this year is over the weekend of 8-10 June. We have always been one
of the top schools in New Zealand to raise the
most money for World Vision and help the
children of South Sudan to build child friendly
spaces and provide them with clear water and
food. Every year, we always try to raise more!
The famine is available for years 5, 6 & 8 to take
part in and fundraise to help the children of
South Sudan who need our help. It does count
as a PEAKS Challenge. If your child has come
home and indicated they would like to take
part in the 40 Hour Famine, please make sure
you give your permission through kindo. They
will then receive a booklet to start their
fundraising. Please note that permission cut off for the famine is Friday 25 May at 10am.
Sponsorship money will need to be returned to Miss Joyce in Room 31 by Friday 29 June. If
you have further questions, please email Miss Joyce at

Playball will be happening again at the school on Thursday at 3pm
Playball is a sport and movement programme for children between the ages of two and
nine. All of the programs are taught in a fun-filled, energetic positive, environment and for
the last 25 years. children from all over the world have loved it! At face level, Playball© is a
program which seems to have, as its main objectives: improving basic movement
development skills and refining sport skills and technique. The success of this seemingly
"sport programme" is in actual fact that it is not only that! it has been developed,
improved and re-designed over the past 25 years resulting in a coaching system that is
educational in every aspect. Playball programs are age specific, with each of our
programs taking into account the difference in the cognitive, emotional, social and
motor development of the children in each age group.
COMMUNITY NOTICES – These notices are inserted on behalf of the community.
Is your child shy? Do they feel intimidated by the idea of public speaking and performance? Do they sometimes find it difficult to make eye contact? Do they just need dedicated time per week to just be CRAZY?! Come and join the revolutionary self-confidence programme - Marrzipan! We run awesome classes at schools, which focus on key life skills and public speaking ability. We play fun engaging games and perform at the end of term once to parents and once to the school. All scripts are original, engaging, educational and HILARIOUS. You can sign your child up for a Trial Lesson via our website www.marrzipandrama.co.nz (we have contact numbers on there too, should you prefer to talk to a human!)
