Kia ora whānau Events

It was wonderful seeing so many familiar faces at the Pahoia Markets Term 3 here at school on Sunday. There were lots of past students here who look like they have doubled in height! Book Week Monday 3 - Friday 7 August We are truly lucky to have such an amazing facility such as our hall and BOT Meeting Apata Room that can be used for large community events like the Monday 3 August market. The market takes place on the last Sunday of every month, so if you didn’t get a chance to come to this one, August 30th is the next Book Fair date. The gym club that runs on Tuesday after school is also very well Tuesday 4 - Monday 11 August attended, with children from a wide variety of different schools coming here. We have the Science Roadshow using our hall for two days next Science Roadshow week, which gives us another opportunity to showcase our school and Wednesday 5 - Thursday 6 facilities. August

[email protected] Last weekend we held our Fundraiser Market at school, combining a car boot sale with the new team from Pahoia Markets (check them out on Facebook). All stall holders fees, cafe proceeds, and the Garden Raffle ticket sales all went to our wonderful Garden to Table programme at Pahoia school. The raffle will be drawn at our next assembly. The monthly ‘Pahoia Market’ offers a unique selection of products from plants and kawakawa creams to artwork and jewellery, clothing and giftware as well as car boot sales. The only thing missing was seasonal fruit and vegetables, so if you have these to share I would encourage you to come along to the next market with these, which is Sunday 30th Aug. It was lovely to see our major sponsor, BOP Treecrops, selling apple trees and giving our shoppers excellent growing advice, as well as talking about the many benefits of an annual Treecrops membership which is only $50! www.treecrops.org.nz Overall the best thing is the lovely spirit we are creating in our community as we come together to share our products, make connections, and enjoy being part of Pahoia. We are looking forward to working with our Tūhua children in a few weeks time as they take on the task of setting up our greenhouse space and growing seedlings. If you are keen to be part of a session or find out more please email Suzy or Karen [email protected] or [email protected] Sports News

After the year that sports has had, this term is very busy. On a lovely sunny winters day our Saturday was all about sports again. Our Year 5/6 Netball team had their first game and didn’t they look smart in the Pahoia School uniforms. Year 3/4 Netball got one week in before the holidays and now are learning and playing Thursday afternoons at . Year 1/2 Netball starts Wednesday at lunchtime in the hall, and I am looking forward to running around and teaching the kids a few skills. Basketball has three teams and is in the second week of games and going well. The Year 5/6 Basketball players are preparing for next week’s Basketball World Cup, a whole day of Basketball at Trustpower Stadium. Year 4,5 and 6 Hockey started last term and played during the holidays, so they are settled into their team. Years 1/2 Funsticks Hockey had a rainy day to start on Wednesday after school, so played in the hall. We had a great turn out of our future hockey players.

Gymnastics started Tuesday after school in the Hall and Marie French has had great support not only from our school but also surrounding schools. The kids are having a great time. I know that there are many other sports being played by our awesome students, and I would like to thank all the parents and caregivers that put their hands up to coach, support, transport, organise/run, or help in any way. The children, schools and clubs could not do it without you. Hope everyone has a great Term 3 of winter sports.
