Matau School Newsletter.

Thanks to Mike Terril for spraying the school farm for free. The children really enjoyed watching the helicopter.

Observatory Visit.
This will now be on Wednesday December 10th with the observatory visit beginning at 8:00pm. The basic plan is to finish at lunchtime, meet at our accommodation, have tea, go ten pin bowling, then to the observatory. Back to school by lunchtime the next day.

Weblog.
This is up and running at http://matauschool.blogspot.com and all the newsletters and some of the children's writing can be viewed there. Next week we will publish "letters to Santa" which could be very useful. Our next step is to develop a full web page.

Hall Staging.
This has arrived and we set it up on Thursday. The children think it's neat as they are no longer scared of the stage moving around as they walk on it.

Pool Cover.
This has arrived and should be in operation from the weekend. We intend to set this up so that it is taken by the first swimmers and gets put back on at night. This should save a lot of wear and tear. The pool is open but it is a little cool at the moment.

EOY Concert.
The concert is on the evening of December 16th.
School will finish the following day and reopen on Monday January 26th.
