Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome to Term 4.
Term 4 is always busy and will be the last term for our amazing Year 8s at Ngunguru school. Your child should have brought home a class newsletter which has an overview of all up coming events, trips and shows on the back.
Tech has been fun in term 3. If your child is Year 7, they will begin food tech. The Year 8s start Hard materials. Kahu 10's tech day is on Wednesdays. All children will need covered shoes on this day.

In class your child is creating an electronic portfolio of their work for this year. You have received a QR code that will allow you to view what your child is doing in class and have access to their folder of work. Feel free to write comments to your child letting them know how they are going with their work and what you are impressed with. You may also leave a voice message on their work for them to listen to later - your child will be able to help with this if you get stuck.
If you have any queries or questions please don't hesitate to contact me at kbroadfoot@ngunguru.school.nz
Kind Regards
