Fwd: Summer Reading Challenge: Andy Wright's visit; Wednesday 9th December, 2015

Hello All,

I trust that this finds you well.

This is just to double-confirm the details for Wednesday 9th
December and the Summer Reading Challenge.




9.00am

Kaniere School

Kaniere School + Home Schooled Children(Double classroom)



Andy, Courtney Watson and I hope to arrive to schools at
least 5 minutes in advance of our allotted time.  The
schedule is quite tight, so can we gently ask that everyone
be assembled and ready for us please?  If you have any
difficulty with this, please just let me know.  We would
that a clear space at the top of the group be left clear for
us.

We will start with an introduction to Andy, Courtney and
myself.  This will be followed by an overview of library
services to children and young people and the Summer Reading
Challenge.  Finally, the bit everyone will be waiting
for....... Andy will take over and the mantle of the story
spellbound will be woven over us all.

The session will last approximately an hour in total.

I'm really looking forward to it - I hope that you are too!

Should you have any questions or queries please just let me
know.

Kind wishes,
Maire

Fwd: Calling all youth group leaders and educators wishing to add penguins to their activities

Hello!

I hope you already have a copy of the education resource launched by the West Coast Penguin Trust last year, but if not, please let me know and I'll get one to you ASAP!

In order to help you make the most of it, the resource author, Zoe Watson, will be leading a fun workshop, along with the Trust's Ranger, Reuben Lane, and you are invited.

 

Why not put it in your diary now?!  Thursday, 10th December.  Come along to St Mary's School at 3.30pm for some inspiration to share with the children you teach, lead and care for, as well as some delicious afternoon tea!

 

A flier is attached and copied below and we'd be grateful if you could pass this email on to anyone we may have missed who may be interested. 

 

Please let me or Zoe know you'll be coming, so we can ensure we are prepared, particularly with afternoon tea!

 

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on 10th December, if not before.

Kind regards

Inger

 

PS If you can't make the 10th, but are keen to come, Zoe will also be running the workshop in Greymouth on Wednesday 9th December, at Grey Main School (Tech Centre, 3.30-5pm).  Again, please just let us know.

 

Inger Perkins, Manager | West Coast Penguin Trust | www.bluepenguin.org.nz | PO Box 63, Hokitika 7842 | 03 755 8600

Date: 6 November

Time: 7pm

Venue: 32b Providence Drive, Hokitika

Supper will be available.

Directions: Turn east (inland) up Keogans Rd just north of Hokitika.  It's the second road on the left after the Arahura Bridge roundabout if you are coming from the North.  Turn left at the bottom of the hill, carry on straight ahead, through the gates, follow the drive past the green barn and to the dark brown house at the end.

See you there!
