Running! Running!

What a tumeke effort Tūhono put into completing their Cross Country races on Tuesday.  Everyone raced to their own ability and many surprised themselves at what they could achieve.  All their training paid off and everyone can be very proud of their efforts.  It was a fun Frankley day with lots of whānau there to support our tamariki.

Daffodil Day

Daffodil Day symbolises all New Zealanders coming together in the fight against cancer. This year, Daffodil Day is on Friday 31 August 2018. Daffodil Day is Cancer Society's most important annual fundraiser.
At school, each hub has a sheet to stick a gold coin onto to turn the white part of the daffodil into gold. If you have a spare gold coin to donate to this cause please bring it along THIS Friday.

Dust off your running shoes - it's Cross Country time!!

Hockey Semi-Finals

So great to see lots of Tūhono students down at the hockey turf this morning. Great grit and skills shown. Even if the end score isn't what you wanted - remember you put together lots of great moves and combinations. Very proud to cheer you on. Well done Hannah for your trophy for player of the day.

The coffee between games with Mrs Morris was pretty good too!!!! I think Tūhono are her favourites!!!

Tūhono does love to dress up!! Especially for Book Character Day...

Tūhono had a wonderful day together celebrating our Frankley Book Fair Week.  Everyone dressed up as a book character or any kind of character and paraded around the school showing off their creations.  Thank you so much to our whānau and tamariki that put in so much effort to support the day.  Tomorrow our most creative costumes will be announced in the whakangahau - who's costume did you like the most?  Check out all these crazy characters by clicking on the link below...

Rugby Game

Wow - what a fabulous game of rugby we were treated to today as our Frankley Team played their semi-final against Puketapu. So proud of the ongoing resilience that was displayed as bodies were challenged. It was a fight right to the end. Well done to our Tūhono boys who participated.

Term 3 already?!

Welcome back to Term 3 our Tūhono whānau!  We hope you have had a lovely holidays spent with your tamariki and it was so lovely to see them all back today ready to begin a term of learning and fun.  We got numerous hugs today from students that had missed us and that is why we do what we do everyday :)

We started off our day with a community pōwhiri for our new Principal, Mrs Sarah Morris.  Sarah has come from St Patrick's in Inglewood and we are very lucky and happy that she has decided to join our Frankley whānau.  She has already met lots of Tūhono tamariki out in the playground today and is keen to spend the next few weeks getting to know us all in our hubs.

Below are some photos of our very special event this morning.
