WORKING BEE on Saturday.

Moving the wood chips and removing the circular garden bed outside Room 1.

And the biggy - edging the new bike track.
A front-end loader or 2 would make this manageable; otherwise, it could be a huge task. Any farmers able to come down and move the dirt would be greatly appreciated. Start at 9.00 and have the track edged by lunchtime.
If front-end loaders aren't available, trailers to load the soil into would also be helpful. Loads of wheelbarrows and shovels required.

​Kia ora e te whaanau, 

We are in need of some support to enable our Ag Day run smoothly this year. Could you help with any of the following tasks? Often a grandparent, aunt or uncle will be keen to help too, so please ask them :)

• Checking in our baking and gardening entries at the library from 8.30am to 9.30am
• Marshalling our lamb rings - 2 marshalls needed - hands on help for our kids, supporting the judge, and if your child has a lamb you will be right there watching so you won't miss anything!
• Marshalling our calf ring - 1 person needed to support our judge and help our kids as the enter and exit the ring. Again, if your child has a calf, you will be there watching them and won't miss out!

Marshalling can be shared as a split shift if need be - it doesn't have to be one person for the whole event.

Please email me if you are able to help. office@rotoorangi.school.nz

The Te oko Horoi Celebration morning starts with Paimarire karakia at 7am tomorrow (Thursday), not 7.30am which was in the newsletter and calendar. It is held down on the foreshore of Lake Te Ko Utu, on the Carter's Flat saide of the lake. Following the karakia and a few words from mana whenua,  there will be some shared kai.

Parents will need to get their child/ren to and from the celebration.

​Ahiahi maarie e te whaanau,
