The PB4L focus for Week 8 will be on showing our school values at assemblies.

Respecting the speaker –  Actively listening and participating – Performing with enthusiasm – Showing respect when receiving an award.

This week our wellbeing tip focuses on remembering to take notice of the simple things that bring you joy. 

Focus: Take notice, remember the simple things that bring you joy.
Sense of the Day: What can you see, feel, touch, smell and hear that enhances your world?
Favourite spaces: Where can you go in your home where you feel cosy, safe and calm?

Celebrating Sporting Success 
Congratulations to Joel from Room 18 who has been competing in the North Shore Run Series.
In his last race – a 2km race with 100 other children competing – he came first with a time of 8mins 14sec. Last month he also won the previous race in Orewa. There will be two more races early next year to complete the series and Joel will be training hard, hoping for a clean sweep. Well done Joel, keep up the great work!

PhotoLife School Photos
If you ordered a school photo please check your child’s school bag as photos were sent home today.

Seesaw Update
Please ensure that you have the most up to date version of Seesaw (when using the app) so that you can receive teacher notices, messages and your child’s report at the end of the year. Seesaw is now only one app instead of two separate ones.

SAFETY AROUND SCHOOL:
Parking
We are asking that all parents/caregivers be considerate of our many neighbours by ensuring that you leave their driveways clear when you are dropping off or picking up your child/children. For security, please lock your vehicle at these times.

The Lost Property Room will open to parents/caregivers from Monday 12 to Thursday 15 December. Please check for any missing items as all property left after this date will be donated to charity.

Kind regards
Lorene Hurd, Principal
SUNNYBRAE NORMAL SCHOOL

REMINDER:
Please note that all children are to be collected from school by 3.15pm. If you are unable to collect before this time, you my be interested in booking your child into the YMCA after school club held in the hall.
