Mufti and bright socks day - Wednesday 22nd March	●      We are raising money for the Auckland Downs Syndrome Association ●      Children are asked to wear mufti and bright mismatched socks for the day and give a $2 donation
School bags	●      Please encourage your child to unpack their own bag when they come into class in the morning (water bottle and book bag) - this helps them become more independent & responsible for their belongings ●      It’s also great to see so many children carrying their own bag at home time - after all it’s their bag!!
