Let’s Get Movin’ in March!

It's almost March and that means it's time to get organised for Movin' March.

If you aren't already doing so get walkin' 'n' wheelin' to and from school, get your passports stamped, get active and help out the environment all in one go.

This year, all tamariki will also be given a passport to take home as a reminder, with the added advantage of being able to fill it in with activities over the weekend.

For all the details please read Kirat's Movin' March article.

If you have something that you are proud to share please forward the details and photos to Kirat kirat@amesbury.school.nz.

Swimming - Term 2

Swimming will be happening across the whole school in Term 2. As it is part of the school curriculum it is expected that all tamariki will take part. 

In order to gather accurate information on your child's swimming ability to date, a form will be sent out via whānau teachers in the coming weeks. 

The Amesbury swimming programme will be delivered by EasySwim as before.
