EOTC tomorrow!

Mr B has just rung and let me know that he has been talking to Mr Beech and our ETOC is going ahead tomorrow.  Wear suitable clothing for being in the bush. Good walking shoes.  A good morning tea and lunch.  A big drink.  Beanie.  Bring a good rain jacket as the weather is supposed to change after lunch.

Farewell

On Tuesday we were surprised to hear that Else has left our school and is now going to an Intermediate in Wellington.  We didn't get a chance to say farewell to Else but we hope that she enjoyed her time here with us at Carterton School.  We enjoyed her enthusiasm for learning and school life.  Room 12 and I wish her all the best with her future learning at her new school. 
See you around Else!
