Huts: We love the creative huts you have all made but there are a few reminders we would like you to follow.

- DO NOT break branches off trees.

- You may only use branches that are already on the ground.

- Remember, the bushes belong to everyone and we want to be able to keep playing in them so ensure you are playing fairly and not taking "ownership" of locations.

We are all kaitiaki of Papatūānuku and our Paremata School Environment.

Yummy Stickers: PLEASE keep collecting these. They give us cool sports gear.. you will see 'Yummy' netballs around!

Paper bins -

We have returned to the Wednesday & Friday schedule.
