Term 2 Week 6 - Environmental Week

HIVE NEWS

HOLIDAY PROGRAM IS OPEN!!
Holiday Program bookings opened on Friday. As per the email, a couple of new things:
1. excursion permissions are now integrated into the booking process = less work for you!
2. you can now book online until 12pm the working day before the session. (But… we don’t advise you to leave it that late - we do sell out!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS JARA::
Jara is heading to Europe for a month - enjoy! Please avoid his personal Hive email address and instead use bookings@ & enrolments@ for specific queries and hello@ for general enquiries. Thank you!

SURVEY::
A huge thank you to the ninety nine families who responded to our survey! A stunning amount of responses, and (sneak peek) an overwhelmingly positive response. Ellie will collate and share the results in the next week or two.

RECYCLING::
Please keep your recyclables coming in - the kids love to get busy with cardboard boxes & tubes, fabric scraps, egg boxes, paper and card etc. A big thank you to Archie’s mum Tobi for a massive bag of bits and bobs which will be perfect for our winter themed activities

CLUB NEWS::

  • In ART & CRAFT we focused on the environment, making co many creations from recycled materials. We also used old bottles to make hanging gardens, creating a little bit of greenery to help the atmosphere!

  • In EXPLORE & DISCOVER we experimented with making our own recycled paper. Mixed success, but one we’ll definitely try again

  • In the HANG OUT zone in Hive room this week we saw some incredible lego constructions, with the kids creating houses, hotels and even mini-towns from these fab little bricks.

  • In BAKING CLUB, the kids loved making delicious, crunchy Anzac biscuits, celebrating a week of Kiwi cuisine. So tasty!

  • Our older chefs in SENIORS’ KITCHEN concocted beetroot gnocchi this week. It was a huge success and well done to Eva R, Cooper W and Lyla V-B!!

  • It was a wet week, but that didn’t stop us doing SPORTS, making good use of the undercroft and the Hall. Our BEYBLADE BATTLE winner was Freddy C in Y3 - well done!

  • For afternoon tea on Friday, Britt served chocolate and zucchini cake - the kids loved it!

PARENT REMINDERS::

  • Don’t delay with your HP bookings - we really don’t want you to miss out…
