1 HUNTERVILLE SCHOOL 33 Bruce Street, Hunterville Phone: Fax: Principal: Colleen Dalley Dear Parents / Caregivers / Whanau 27 March 2018 Tena koutou katoa Greetings to all families and friends of Hunterville School. The Science & Technology Roadshow was a very interesting and practical hands-on experience for all our year four to year eight students at Taihape Area School on Friday. The demonstrations and experiments fully engaged our kids, and there are follow-up activities for us to use on the Roadshow website. Once again, this great field trip was made possible by the generosity of our parent and whanau community offering transport and helping with supervision thank you - it is genuinely appreciated. Also, thanks to Shane for organising another excellent field trip, and the rest of the staff for their support and transport. Some photos of the science action

Guy and Pete, the builders, have been in and converted our stage structure to accommodate Wendy s visions, and their very generously given time and expertise is so appreciated. Mary Vennell and her wonderful team of sewers, makers and shakers have created and recreated a huge range of costumes with fittings well underway and bags of kit for every child! Nicky Livingston what great props work you are doing and the kids are keen to be in on the painting and creating of their own masks. Another awesome team of mask makers worked all day yesterday! We picked up the main character masks from Lindisfarne College in Hastings on Sunday, and they are just amazing! They also lent us a giant sun, which can be raised and lowered at the back of the stage. You people are so awesome, volunteering your time, hard toil and teamwork many, many thanks!

And sadly most of the pile was unnamed. Please, please ensure all your children s school uniform items are named. It makes reuniting with owners much easier. Also if you could on a regular basis just check to make sure your children have their own uniform items. Quite often we are hunting for named items that we just do not find! They must be somewhere!
