As you all know our group has been trying to make the library more exciting ... well we have we got the new Ottoman! We also got a table for inside the Ottoman. It has already been a very popular place to read, do our maths at and spend morning tea and lunch.
Our group would like to thank A.S.S.A for letting us buy this for our library and we would like to thank Huntah and Jaycee for helping us carry the Ottoman in! Now we are labelling all of our shelves in our new colours. Come and have a look. Thank you all for supporting our library.
Waste Busters
For the opening ceremony for our opening we sang "She'll be right" and then started with opening the hydroponics - Charlotte Sarah and Mrs Lowe.
Hydro Rangers
On Friday the 27th we had our opening ceremony for the Green Finger Zone. We shared our glass house and our next steps on what we were going to do. We had MP Mr Mckelvie, Councillor Matt Bell and members from Horizons present. They were very impressed!
Thank you to all those people who came and joined us for that. We would also like to thank Mrs Lowe for coming up and cutting the ribbon with us.
The strawberries are up and running again after bright fly and they taste good!! We have also planted some more tomatoes, lettuces and parsley.
Expert Plantagators
On the Friday of the last week of term three we had planned for a grand opening to celebrate our group's achievements. With funding from Horizons regional council, we had the opportunity to revamp the growing unit and shade house with new sprinklers, timers, hoses and work benches. Huntah's granddad helped so much with this area. With Mitre 10 giving us big discounts it made it a lot easier. The whole group worked a lot with building the shade house and making the vege gardens look really good. We are really proud of how much the veges in the tractor tires have grown. Also how well the growing unit has been working.

Lamb and Calf Day - 24th October
We look forward to showcasing and celebrating our learning on this day. The students decided on their indoor exhibits, miniature scene, vege/fruit sculpture and decorated gumboot (the gumboot can also be entered in the Feilding Show). The feedback, re-morning or day before, for completing indoor exhibits was inconclusive so the students are completing the gumboot on Wednesday 23rd and the miniature scene and sculpture on the morning of Lamb and Calf Day. Please check the link Lamb and Calf Day or look on the Apiti School wiki for all the things students will need so they are prepared. A copy of this was also sent home with students last Tuesday.
The technology challenge on the morning of Lamb and calf day is to make a scarecrow. These are also part of the whanau group judging. Groups will be planning these tomorrow. They will need old clothing to stuff, pantyhose for arms, legs and face and a couple of poles to give their scarecrow structure eg manuka or bamboo. If you would like a copy of the Lamb and Calf Day booklet please contact the school, or call in.
We look forward to seeing you all here on the day.
Reading
The reading page on your child's e-portfolio has recently been updated. Your child will bring CAFE Parent Pipeline letter home tomorrow specific to their child's reading goal. These have been sourced from the CAFE Daily Five teacher website and may give you useful ideas and ways you can help at home. We would appreciate your feedback. How useful are they for you?
Maths
For the last 2 terms senior students have had an intensive focus on basic facts at the beginning of each maths lesson. It has resulted in improved speed when solving problems. This term our intensive focus at the beginning of our maths lesson is problem solving. This is an area many students find more challenging. If you are looking for a maths homework focus ... continuing to practice basic facts would be great! This site is a great one to start with: http://nzmaths.co.nz/basic-facts-learning-objects If you would like other ideas for ways to practice basic facts, please let Nicki know.
Moa Marathon / Athletics Coaching /Fitness
Students are running daily, and training with Sport Manawatu twice a week as part of these programmes. They all run for 10mins everyday and are developing high levels of fitness, as well as learning skills for athletics. Please make sure students have appropriate clothes for these activities, e.g shorts please. There has been some sickness; both flu and tummy bugs. Children should be kept at home if they are unwell. We remind students about handwashing, sunhats and sunblock, but it is important that students learn about these and take responsibility for their own health, as part of managing themselves.
Please always let us know if your child is unwell.
Swimming Lessons at the Makino Aquatic Centre
The swimming dates have been on the google calender for most of the year, but these are : Friday 25th October, Friday 1st November, Friday 8th November, Friday 15th November, and Friday the 22nd of November.

Please ensure students have 2 towels and googles for these lessons. They will also need to bring a packed lunch and drink.

Looking to recycle your TV?

TVs contain materials like glass that can be re-used if they are recycled, as well as hazardous materials like lead. TVs should not be dumped, but recycled responsibly to recover valuable resources.
The Enviroschools Challenge invites students, friends and familes to drop off unwanted TVs at participating drop-off sites. If you nominate Apiti School as your participating enviroschool, every TV would earn points and the best overall recycling rate will win a technology package from Samsung. All nominated Enviroschools will go in the draw to win 2 x Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tables. For more information, visit www.tvtakeback.govt.nz or www.enviroschools.org.nz

CHILD
RESTRAINT LAWS ARE CHANGING TO IMPROVE SAFETY
From
1 November 2013, child restraint laws are changing to improve safety. As a driver you must make sure any child
travelling in your vehicle is correctly secured.
What’s changing?
The
law says you must: From Friday 1st November 2013: Correctly
secure your child in an approved child restraint until their 7th birthday!
The
law also says you must: Correctly secure your child in an
approved child restraint if one is available in the vehicle (and if not, in any
child restraint or safety belt that is available). However, regardless of
age, school children are safest in a booster seat until they are 148cm tall.
Caltex
are offering a voucher for 10% off a wide range of child restraints at The Baby
Factory, including already discounted items, purchased at The Baby Factory
before November 8th. Vouchers are available at participating
Caltex service stations.

find out more visit Safekids Aotearoa at www.mysafekids.org.nz or at www.safekids.org.nz
OROUA NETBALL
Many thanks to everyone who helped in any way
with the Oroua Netball 2013 Season, the season went quickly but very
successfully and we had a brilliant turnout of players all of whom played their
hardest and were really committed to the teams.
Thanks to all the players, parents, coaches and managers it has been a
great season and I am sure we will all miss it now that it is over! Thank you also to the support we receive from
the Oroua Schools, your annual donations keep us going and storing the kit for
us is a great help – this job was being done by Kimbolton but Apiti School has
kindly agreed to take over.
Unfortunately we will saying goodbye to two
of our coaches this year, Pete Thomas who has been coaching the Intermediate
Grade for the last three years and Anna Martin who has been coaching the Fun
Ferns, they have both done an outstanding job and we really appreciate all the
time and commitment they have given us.
We are therefore looking out for two more coaches for these grades, if
you can help please do get in touch as we would like to get this sorted out for
next year as soon as we can. Maryann
Pratt has kindly agreed to continue coaching the Future Ferns Grade and we are
very grateful to her for this as she does a fantastic job, ably assisted by
Sara Wills who has also kindly agreed to carry on. Anna will continue her job as Treasurer and
we thank her for that. So what we really
need is a Coach and Manager for the Intermediate Grade and a Coach and Manager
for the Fun Ferns – could this be you?!!
It would also be really good to have an overall ‘Chairman’ to liaise
between each grade and Feilding – not necessarily a parent – do you know
someone who could do this?
Please also keep netball in mind for the 2014
season, we always need new players and it is great for the children to give it
a go. Well done everyone! THANK YOU. - Sarah
Burge, (06) 3285780.
