PTA News
On behalf of the PTA we would like to thank all the students and parents who supported the selling of the school raffle tickets at Fresh Choice last week end. They all did an amazing job at asking people to support our school and buy a $5 raffle ticket – who could say no to these polite children? The lovely thing about selling to our local community is that most of the people have a connection with our wonderful school and we heard all sorts of lovely stories about BBPS. We also received lots of lovely comments on how polite the children were and we thank you all for your manners and enthusiasm on the day! In total we sold 288 tickets over the weekend! Amazing! A big thank you from us to you!
Have you returned your money and raffle stubs yet to the office? Only one week to go! We still need to do lots of fundraising to be able to replace the solar panels at the school pool so that this summer your pool will be warmer for you to swim in. But we need your help to sell those tickets! There are 5 fabulous prizes to be won! And the tickets are easy to sell! You will have received 5 tickets at the end of last term, please ask your family and neighbours to help support you in selling your tickets and return your sold ticket stubs and money to the office before next Friday! You have to be in to win!
Thank you again for all your hard work! The PTA
Nathan Wallis – The Developing Brain – Monday 14 October – 7.30-9.00 p.m.
Bucklands Beach Primary School is proud to announce that the host of the documentary “All in the Mind”, and co-host of the TV Series “The Secret life of Girls”, Nathan Wallis, Aotearoa’s renowned neuroscience educator, is coming to our community with his talk – The Developing Brain
In this presentation, Nathan will guide you through the stages of brain development that happen across childhood, which is a lot longer than you think. Nathan will reveal little tricks to make parenting easier, and help you open up communication with your child in a way that actually gets them to listen, develop & grow.
This talk is for those parents or caregivers who want a quick snapshot of brain development. Now don’t worry about not being able to understand it! While Nathan has all the qualifications and academic creed, he comes from a background of being a foster child, father of three, grandfather of two and foster parent to many.
His unique “tell you how it is” style will have you captivated, and you will walk away jam-packed with “ah-ha” moments.
