Morning tea for parents new to Edendale Thank you to all the families who attended our recent Morning Tea for parents new to our school. Some good discussion took place with both senior staff and PTA members Sarah and Aamel who also came along to welcome the group. We will hold another morning tea for families new to the school next term. School Playground After Hours Please note that as of Term Two our adventure playgrounds will close at 3:30pm daily. This is due to a growing number of accidents occurring on our school playground after school hours, some of which have resulted in broken bones and students being ad- mitted to hospital. Please note that students play- ing on school equipment after hours must be di- rectly supervised by parents/caregivers. Safety around the school A big thank you to the majority of our parents who model safe driving and crossing practices with our stu- dents. It is very important for drivers to be extra vigi- lant in the vicinity of school pedestrian crossings and driveways. Please bear in mind that, by law, you must not park or stop your vehicle: in front of, or closer than 1 metre to, a vehicle entrance, or on „no stopping‟ lines (broken yellow lines). If you are seen to be breaking these rules, your details will be noted and passed on to our community consta- ble. We do not want to have any accidents in or around our school. Thank you for your co-operation. Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter and school holidays break.

The Native Nature Walk
by Ella R5
Today this morning
Room 5 went on a walk
to the little bushy place
behind Endeavour. We
heard lovely singing
birds, we felt the nice
rocks between our feet. After that we
saw some cicada shells. Next we saw
a gigantic spider web and a little tiny
one on a massive tree. Then we saw
flax bushes with little dew drops that
looked like jewels and diamonds they
were so pretty and I
had fun. Finally we
came to the bottom
field and we thought
that it was fun to run
across the field and
walk backwards up the hill.
Tyler - “Good fitness training.”
Matt - “Adventurous.”
Jack - “All made it to the end
with no major injuries.”
Kisepi - “Really hard work, but
lots of fun.”
Srijan - “Amazing
views from Mt Eden.”
Haider - “Amazing
experience to see
Auckland.”
Leo - “Great achieve-
ment to finish.”

DESCRIBE being thoughtful and kind...
People in Edendale are thoughtful and kind when you help someone up when they fall over. You take care of people’s work and their things. People are happy when you sound happy. You wait for others in the doorway. We are thoughtful and kind. We feel wonderful and sometimes I feel awe-some. William - R7
Being thoughtful and kind means playing with people when no one else is. Being thoughtful and kind is giving people some room to play. Being thoughtful and kind is helping people when they are hurt. Being thoughtful and kind is letting other people through the doorway. Being thoughtful and kind is playing with new people so they have friends. I feel spectacular when I help Mum and Dad make dinner. I feel amazing when I help Mum at her work. Pipiana - R7
