Book Week Monday 30th March to Wednesday 8th April

Venture deep into the ice-cold Polar Regions to the coolest reading expedition ever. It’s time to celebrate books and the joy of reading as we prepare for Paremata School’s Book Week. There will be our usual daily quiz and activities. Plus the very successful “Decorating Your Classroom Window” Competition. Design and decorate your room window based on a book, series of books or an author. This year the Book Character Parade will be held on the Tuesday 31st March at 9:00am on the netball courts

A blizzard of books is blowing in for our Book Week and everyone is invited to chill out in our Wondrous Snow Cave and discover the Arctic Adventure Book Fair: Snow much to read! The Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that provides the books that kids want to read. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Reading for pleasure, inside & outside school, has real and long lasting benefits. It unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are. All purchases benefit our school.

Students will brave the cold-snap to pre-visit with their classes on 26th, 27th & 30th March and fill in their wish list. Then the Arctic Adventure Book Fair will be open to all before and after school

Mon 30^th March, Wed 1^st, Frid 3^rd, Mon 6^th & Wed 8^th April

8:30 – 9:00am & 2:30 – 4:30pm

MOVIN'MARCH is here!

You can win one of 12 x $400 My Ride vouchers. Ask your teacher to stamp your card each time you walk or wheel to school or back home. When your card is full, drop it off at Rūma Kōkako to go in the draw.

Did you know we have a ‘scooter school bus’ at our school? These active students scooter to Paremata school most weeks. They meet at Dolly Varden car park and with the help of their parents they scooter across the bridge to school.
