Good morning New Windsor School!

Students are encouraged to wear their Fale colours to school on Friday for our whole school assembly which you will be sitting in your classes for.

There is no senior Kapa haka today as well.

New Playground nearly open!

Our new Playground  Te Tirohanga a Tiriwa is 6 sleeps away  from being open for Students to play on !

We are nearly reaching our playground opening  event on Tuesday next week Tuesday 26 May 2-3 pm taking place area 3 basketball court.

Once we have blessed and opened our play ground it is open for playing on Wednesday, and the field will be open again as well  for as long as it is not wet or muddy.

We are 6 sleeps away from the opening of our new Senior Playground.

It is called te Tirohanga a Tirawai. It is a Playground only for Yrs 4-6, Maatamua students to use and play on.

Maatamua students only will be allowed on the Te Tirohanga playground. It is too high and not safe for our Potiki students to play on. The Potiki Team have their own Potiki  Playground- Te Takahurihuri to play on. Any Maatamua student who wants to play on the Takahurihuri can.

It is only the New playground on the field that has height restrictions which is why Potiki cannot play on the play ground as most of it most cannot reach.

It is also a safety reason that Potiki are not allowed to use the New Playground. They have the Takahurihuri Playground to play on.

Thursday lunch time activities:

Lego Club will be on TODAY not Friday as normal in room 8.

Matamua students:

If anyone is interested in performing the ‘nutbush’ dance for our playground opening, please see Mrs Tipelu today after lunch eating at 1:20pm.

Remember that it's Pink Shirt Day on Friday. Stop at the Blue Gates outside the office and have a wearing PINK photo in the Pink Shirt day photo area

As we prepare for Pink Shirt Day this Friday, classes will be watching and discussing the video “Rude, Mean or Bullying?” This is a great opportunity to think about how our words and actions affect others.

Sometimes people can be rude or mean, but bullying is repeated, hurtful behaviour that makes others feel unsafe. We can all help make our school a kinder place by including others, speaking respectfully, and standing up for what is right--watch this video Link

This Friday, wear pink with pride and help spread the message of kindness, inclusion, and respect. Let’s continue to show our school values and make everyone feel welcome and safe at school. 🩷

Are you a Rockstar?

We would love to encourage all students to keep practising their maths skills at home by playing Times Tables Rock Stars and NumBots. Even a few minutes each day can make a big difference in helping students build confidence and speed with their maths learning.

A special shout out to last weeks Top 3 Rock Stars in the school for their incredible achievement and dedication:

🥇 Anish
🥈 Durva
🥉 Swan

What an amazing effort — ka mau te wehi! 🌟

Now the challenge is on…
Can you beat them? 👀🎯

Log in at home, earn points, practise your maths facts, and see if you can climb the leaderboard. We can’t wait to see who our next Rock Stars will be!

Happy practising everyone! 🚀

Welcome to Week 7!

New Windsor Way: Goal Setting Meetings This Week

This week, we are holding Goal Setting Meetings with parents and whānau. These meetings are an important opportunity for you to talk about your learning and the goals you would like to achieve this year.

Please remember that you are responsible for bringing your whānau to meet with your teacher. If your family has not booked a time yet, encourage them to see your teacher today or tomorrow, or arrange another suitable time.

Before the meeting, take some time to think honestly about your learning. Consider what you would like to improve this year. Along with your reading, writing, and maths goals, think about a personal goal that will help you make better choices, improve your behaviour, or strengthen your attitude to learning.

Remember, all learning starts with positive thinking, a good attitude, and being ready to learn. We look forward to hearing about your goals and working together with you and your whānau to make this a successful year.

Remember that as part of Parent Teacher Conferences, school finishes at 12.30pm today and tomorrow.

Make sure you know where you are going at 12.30pm!

Have an awesome day!

🌿 New Windsor Way – Back to Our Regular Routines

After an exciting Year 5–6 camp and a busy EOTC week for the rest of our students, it’s time to settle back into our regular school routines.

These experiences gave everyone the chance to learn new things, try challenges, and spend time learning both inside and outside the classroom.

As we return to normal learning, we encourage everyone to continue showing responsibility and to be kaitiaki of our school environment. This means:

Looking after our spaces

Putting rubbish in the bins

Caring for the people and places around us

It is also a great time to share your experiences. Think about:

The best moments you had

The challenges you faced

What you learned from them

Having the confidence to talk about these experiences helps us reflect, grow, and learn from one another.

Have a great day!

Kia Ora New Windsor School,

We have a few notices and reminders to share today.

Firstly, a reminder for our matāmua students:

After break times, please make sure you are lining up in Area 2.

Remember, the music is your time to go to the bathroom and have a drink — not after the music plays.

This term, we are focusing on being responsible and confident learners.

Have a think about:

How are you working towards these goals?

What does being responsible and confident look like for you at school?

Many classes have also begun learning about self-regulation, starting with physical regulation.

Can you remember:

What are your body’s warning signs when you are in a bad mood?

How does your body feel when you need help to calm down?

Lunchtime Activity

Karina, our Learning Assistant, and Lisa Rhodes are starting a Latin dance group today as a lunchtime activity.

What is a Latin dance group?

If you enjoy learning about dance or love dancing, this group is for you.

📍 Meet in the hall today at 1:20pm after lunch to find out more and sign up.

This is open to Year 5/6 boys and girls.

Library Monitor Notice

Attention Year 4–6 matāmua students:

If you would like to be a library monitor this year, please see Miss Bartulovich in her class at 1:20pm today.

Kia ora New Windsor School,

Did you have a nice long weekend?

It's a full week of school. Let's get back into the groove!

Moving Safely and Respectfully Around Our School

When we move around the school, we show responsibility and respect by keeping everyone safe and calm. Remember to walk, not run, and use quiet voices so other classes can keep learning. When moving with your class, stay in your lines and follow your teacher’s directions.

Please avoid using the main corridor unless you are heading to the Library. When the bell rings, it’s time to return to class promptly and calmly. And don’t forget, bring your hat to school every day so you’re ready for outdoor learning and play. No hat means no play, so being prepared helps you enjoy your day safely!

Whaea Thembi introduces the Gumboot dance . This is open to Pōtiki tamarikima year 2 and 3. If you want to learn how to do African dance, groove with style, come see Whaea Thembi on Wednesday during lunch time at the school auditorium.

Following Whaea Thembi's lead- Teachers! If you are running a lunchtime activity this term, please make sure it is on the padlet doc.

Lunchtime Activity:

Potentially cricket with Mr Crewe for Year 4-6 on the backfield.

Have a great day!

Morena New Windsor School,

It's Thursday, it's the second day of school and it's somehow the end of Week 1.

New Windsor Way Term Focus: Responsibility and Confidence

In the first few weeks, our core school value is Responsibility-Whai Koha. Being responsible means making choices that help ourselves and others learn and feel safe. One important way we show responsibility is by coming to school ready to learn — on time, prepared, and willing to give things a go. Coming to school is like charging your battery each day; when you arrive ready, you have the energy to think, learn, and join in.

This term, try doing a daily Ready Check:
👉 Am I here?
👉 Am I focused?
👉 Am I ready to try?

Even on tricky days, choosing a positive attitude and doing your best is a powerful way to show responsibility. Every small choice makes a big difference!

Start by bringing your hat to school!

Calling all Road patrollers:

Important notice for all 2026 road Patrollers:

Please come to the hall for a meeting and refresher training session with Constable

Nadine. Constable Nadine will be here at 9am tomorrow.

It's Prizegiving day!

Can all M.C.'s and award recipients to the Auditorium at 9.15am.

We hope that this week you explored the Circle of Control — a tool that helps us focus our energy on the things we can control instead of worrying about the things we can’t. We learned that we can’t change the weather, other people’s behaviour, or the past, but we can choose our attitude, our effort, our words, and how we respond when things get tough.

Perhaps you sorted different examples into “I can control” and “I can’t control,” and many of you realised that staying calm, showing kindness, and trying your best are always in your control. Just like steering your own waka, you get to choose the direction, even if the waves or wind aren’t perfect.

Your challenge this week is to notice one moment when something feels out of your control, take a deep breath, and choose a positive response. Small choices can make a big difference in helping you feel confident, calm, and resilient.

We hope this learning helps you grow your resilience as we head toward our prize-giving assembly.

Lunchtime Duty – Assigned Bike Ambassadors (weather permitting):

Kia ora New Windsor School,

It's Fun Day today! Most of the Year 6's will be going to the pools today. The rest of the school will have something fun planned!

Only 6 days of school to go! This can cause a surge of emotions.

This Week’s Focus: Who’s in Control of My Feelings?

Sometimes we say things like, “You made me angry!” or “That made me upset!” but the truth is, our feelings belong to us. Other people and situations can influence how we feel, but we decide what to do next.

Think of your emotions like a remote control; you hold it, not anyone else.
You can’t control the weather, your friends’ choices, or whether the bus is late…
But you can control your thoughts, your words, your actions, and your attitude.

When you take ownership of your feelings, it’s like saying,
“This is my puzzle, and I can figure out how to solve it.”

Owning your emotions means:

Accepting how you feel without blaming others

Remembering that feelings rise and fall like waves

Being kind to yourself when you make mistakes

Growing your resilience — just like strengthening a muscle

So this week, ask yourself:
What can I control right now?
How can I respond in a way that helps, not harms?

Using your emotional energy wisely helps you become stronger, calmer, and more confident, one choice at a time.

The bike track is closed today.

Have a great day!

We have our first big end of year assembly today. This will start at 9.30am. Teachers please go over our assembly expectations beforehand.

New Windsor Way:

Ownership of emotions means recognising that we are responsible for how we feel and how we respond, not other people, not the weather, not what happened in the morning. It’s like holding the steering wheel of your own car: others might create bumps in the road, but you choose how to steer. When we take ownership, we stop blaming others for our reactions and instead notice what’s happening inside us. Emotions are real, valid, and temporary, like waves at the beach: they rise, they peak, and they eventually fall.

Morena New Windsor,

That rain yesterday was a lot. I had a river going through my garden. The chickens loved that.

We have some songs that we need to learn for our end of year events.

Waiata

New Windsor Way: Ownership of Emotions

This week, you should be learning about who is really in control of your feelings. Sometimes we say things like “She made me angry!” or “That ruined my day!”  but is that really true?
Here’s the big idea: your feelings belong to YOU. Other people or situations can influence how you feel, but you get to decide how you react.

Think of it like steering a bicycle or holding a TV remote:
You steer the bike, the bumps on the road don’t decide where you go.
You choose the channel, even if the show is annoying, you can switch to something better.

Just like that, you can steer your emotions and choose your response.

Try asking yourself:
What can I control? (my thoughts, my words, my actions, my attitude)
What can’t I control? (other people’s choices, the weather, the bell, the bus being late)

Remember:
Trying to control other people is like trying to stop the wind, you’ll only get tired!
Use your energy to make positive, powerful choices for yourself instead.

You’ve got this, you’re the driver of your emotions!

Road Patrols 2026:

A reminder that all Yr 5 Students that have returned a Road Patrol Consent form will be training with Constable Nadine on Thursday 4 December 9-12ish.

When big feelings show up, try choosing a positive outlet: talk to someone you trust, take a quick movement break, draw or write it out, or use calming breaths. Remember, naming your feelings helps shrink them, and choosing healthy actions keeps everyone safe and happy. Have a great day and remember to choose actions that help you and others feel good.

This week’s focus: Expressing Emotions in a Healthy Way

Big feelings happen and that’s totally normal!
When lots of people learn, play, and work together all day, strong emotions can pop up, especially during busy times like lunchtime games or peer disagreements.

Our emotions are like energy inside us. We can’t stop the energy…
but we CAN choose what we do with it.

This and next week, we’ll start learning how to express our feelings in healthy, positive ways.

Here are some questions to think about:
🔸 Where do I want my energy to go when I feel something big?
🔸 What are healthy ways to show my feelings?
🔸 What are unhealthy ways?

Your Challenge for This Week

When a problem happens — like a disagreement in a game — try one of these:
✅ Take a slow breath before you speak
✅ Use words like: “I feel… because…”
✅ Walk away for a moment if your body feels too buzzed up
✅ Ask for help if you can’t solve the problem calmly

Remember:
Healthy choices = calmer bodies, safer play, and happier friendships.
Let’s keep practicing our New Windsor Way!

Fale points! Get your tokens in before Friday! Last count for 2025!

Year 6's: Pool trip forms back ASAP!

Kia ora New Windsor School,

It's Week 8, not long now...

This week we are learning (or revisiting) how to label our emotions, and why it is such an important skill. Some classes have already explored this lesson, and others will be doing it soon. When we name our feelings clearly, it helps us understand what is really going on inside us. Instead of saying “I feel bad,” we can say “I feel frustrated,” “I feel worried,” or “I feel excited.”

Naming emotions makes them feel smaller and easier to manage, like turning on a light in a dark room so you can finally see what’s there. It also helps other people know how to support us. Building a strong emotion vocabulary, in English, te reo Māori, and our home languages, helps us express ourselves with confidence.

Think of emotions like weather inside your body. “Happy” might feel like sunshine, “sad” might feel like gentle rain, “angry” like a storm, and “nervous” like a windy day. When we can label the “weather,” we can choose the right tools, an umbrella, sunscreen, or a deep breath, to help us feel safe and calm.

Quick optional task: As a class, choose an everyday situation (e.g., losing a game, scoring a goal, being left out, sharing with a friend). In pairs, name the exact emotion you might feel and draw a quick emoji.

2026 Student Leaders: Thank you to those students who have shared their C.V.'s with their teacher. The applicants will be making a short speech in front of Matāmua this week at their meetings.

Morena New Windsor School,

We are sad to cancel the Rainbow's End trip  today due to the rainy day ahead of us.

This makes the rides very dangerous and many rides  we have been informed  this morning will be closed for the day due to slippery wet surfaces.

We take Health and safety very  seriously and the rain has meant we have to

Lunchtime Games: What to Do When You Disagree

Sometimes during lunchtime games, like soccer, people don’t agree. Maybe someone thinks the ball went out, someone else wants to be goalie, or two people both want to take the penalty. Disagreements happen, but how we handle them shows our Respect and self-regulation.

Step 1: Pause Your Emotions

Before you react, try one quick strategy:

Take a belly breath

Count to 5 slowly

Do a quick body scan: “Am I clenching my fists? Is my voice getting loud?”
This helps your brain switch from reacting to thinking.

It’s like when a fizzy drink gets shaken, if you open it right away, it explodes.
If you give it a moment to settle, everything stays calm.

Step 2: Use Respectful Words

Try:

- “Let’s take turns.”

- “Can we rewind the play?”

- “Let’s do paper–scissors–rock.”

- “I didn’t see it that way—how can we fix it?”

Step 3: If You STILL Can’t Agree…

Use one of these quick fixes:

Paper–Scissors–Rock (fast and fair)

Goal kick / Drop ball to restart play

Rotate positions every 5 minutes

Ask a duty teacher before it becomes a big problem

Think of it like a team puzzle: everyone holds a piece. The game only works when all the pieces stay together.

Remember:

Staying calm doesn’t mean you give up,
it means you’re choosing to be the leader in the moment.

Play fair, be kind, and let everyone enjoy the game!

New Windsor Way-Self-Regulation Lesson 3: Label Your Emotions

This week, you will be learning that feelings aren’t good or bad, they just are.
Often, people say things like “I feel bad” or “I feel fine,” but those words don’t really explain what’s happening inside. You will practise using specific emotion words, like frustrated, nervous, disappointed, excited, or grateful, so it becomes easier to understand your feelings and let others know how to support you.

You will also learn that naming your emotions can make big feelings feel smaller and less overwhelming. It helps your brain make sense of what’s going on.

In class, you will explore tools such as emotion charts, feelings wheels, drawing, and journaling. We encourage you to use emotion words in te reo Māori and your home languages.

2025 Road Patrols:

Ms Siohane will be meeting with you all at 2.30 today in the hall.

2.30 final meeting before the trip in the hall.

New Windsor Way: Self-regulation lesson reflection: Creating Safe and Calm

In this lesson, you learned about the opposite of feeling threatened, feeling safe, calm, and supported. We explored how our bodies and brains need calm environments to help us think clearly and make good choices. Just like a baby needs gentle rocking, soft voices, and comfort to settle, we also have our own “ingredients” for calm, things like deep breathing, predictable routines, taking breaks, humour, or space away from noise.

You practised using body scans to notice tension, counting to ten with deep belly breathing, and moving to calm spaces when feeling overwhelmed. We also learned that when something upsets us, the way we react can make the situation better or worse, staying calm helps us reduce our “suffering” and bounce back faster.

OPtional Student Task / Reflection:

1. Write or draw your own recipe for feeling safe and calm.

What helps you calm down when you’re upset?

Who or what makes you feel safe?

2. Talk with your whānau about how they calm down when they feel angry or stressed.

3. Practise one strategy from now on, like deep breathing, taking a short break, or using humour and notice how it helps you feel more settled.

10th Monday

New Windsor Way:

This week in our Self-Regulation – “Creating Safe and Calm” lessons, you will explore what helps them feel calm and secure when things become challenging. You’ll begin by identifying the opposite of feeling threatened and discuss what helps them feel safe, just like how we soothe a baby with gentle movement, calm voices, and comfort. Together, we’ll build a list of “ingredients for feeling safe and calm,” such as predictable routines, deep belly breathing, time away from stress, gentle humour, and having supportive people around us.

You will also learn practical calming strategies, including body scans to notice tension, deep breathing while counting to ten, and knowing when to ask for a break. You’ll practise using calm spaces, soothing sounds, and mindfulness techniques to help their bodies and minds reset. The key message is that how we respond matters, by noticing our emotions and taking time to breathe, we can reduce stress and make better choices. You are encouraged to continue this learning at home by discussing what helps everyone in the whānau feel safe and calm.

Morena New Windsor School,

It was great to see so many parents at the Chromebook and Camp Information evening last night.

New Windsor Way:

In our first Self-Regulation lesson, you learned or are learning that everyone has a built-in alarm system called the threat-detection system. This helps our bodies respond when we feel unsafe or upset. We discussed the four main responses — fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — and how these reactions can happen even when there isn’t a real physical danger, such as during arguments or when we feel embarrassed.

Students also explored how their bodies send signals when emotions rise — like a fast heartbeat, tight stomach, loud voice, or fidgeting. Recognising these signs helps us understand our feelings and choose ways to calm down before reacting.

Reflection Questions:

What signs does your body show when you feel upset or stressed?

Which of the four responses do you notice most in yourself?

What's on today?

New Windsor Way: Keeping It Cool in Week 5!
We’re heading into Week 5, Term 4, and it’s that exciting time of year when there’s lots happening — productions, celebrations, and maybe a little too much sugar after Halloween and Guy Fawkes!

Let’s remember to keep showing our New Windsor values — especially Respect (Whai Koha), Resilience (Manawaroa), and Collaboration (Mahi Tahi). Sometimes, when we’re tired or excited, we might forget our expectations — that’s okay, but it’s important to get back on track.

This week, focus on:

Using kind words and actions — especially online and with friends.

Managing emotions when things don’t go your way.

Making positive choices, even when you feel peer pressure.

Looking out for each other during break times and transitions.

Friday will be our School Fun Run. It'll be messy, so wear clothes you don't mind getting wet.

Rainbow's End Trip:

Permission slips must be in the road patrols box in the office before the end this week.

If you do not have a signed form returned you will not be going on the trip.

A reminder to everyone:

No One is allowed to climb any trees.Tree climbing is out of bounds.

Do not climb any tree. Please look out for anyone who you see climbing a tree.

They will be in the lunch time club for a week. Stay off the trees!

What's on today?

Japanese Club in Room 13 from 1.20.

Gutter Board outside Room 7 from 1.20pm.

Lunchtime Duty – Assigned Bike Ambassadors (weather permitting):

The following Bike Ambassadors are rostered for the Potiki riders at lunchtime:

Azalea, Rezwan and Year 5 Manawa with Marwa

Please report to the duty teacher at the container and collect your vests.

We’ve got a fun and busy few weeks ahead, and you’ll be learning more about self-regulation — how to stay calm, focused, and make good choices. Let’s keep the vibes positive, work together as a team, and finish the year by showing the very best of the New Windsor Way!
