Hub 10, Term 3, Communication Update
Kia ora Akomanga Tekau Whānau,
Term 2 was another exciting Term in Akomanga Tekau, well done to all our learners for founding a town, building a community, conquering with natural disasters, raising a maunga. running cross country, hosting a market day, and most of all squeezing that learning juice!
Our learning for Term 3 concept is focused on the concept of Sustainability in all its shapes and forms.
We will be focusing on the life force that is water. We will be using digital tools, research, physical creation, science experiments and discussion and debate to explore different ways water affects the world around us.

Food & Waste
Stonefields School is an Enviro School and we aim to minimise the quantity of waste that we produce here. We encourage our students to keep food wrappers at home and to keep food waste in their lunch boxes. Brain food is vital for children during their learning. Lollies and treats need to be left at home, please. We appreciate your support with this.

As always, we love having your support within the hub. If you are available to offer your time in any of the following areas could you please let us know:

We value any time that you can spare.
Our door is always open and we are happy to have a chat before or after school. If you have any questions or concerns and need a longer time to meet with us, please contact us to make a scheduled time to connect. Please note that we have our scheduled PLD meetings on Thursday mornings before school, so we are unable to meet during this time.
