Wednesday Aug 17, Adventure Sports
ADVENTURE SPORTS
On Wednesday Adventure Sports is going kayaking. We will be starting class at 10:00am to be sure we have enough time to get on the water and do our challenges and get back and get changed for the next class. If your child is in Adventure Sports they need to be ready to go at 10:00am. Ready to go means wearing clothes they are going to get wet in. A wetsuit is great if they have one otherwise shorts, a thermal and warm sweatshirt. Hopefully only their bottoms will get wet! They do not need shoes, barefeet please, and they need to put their change of clothes and towel in the hall so they can get their gear and get changed ready for their next class as soon as they get back.
We will meet on the other side of the carpark by the bird aviaries/lifejackets.
Also. I have a limited number of free range eggs available at $5 a doz if people are interested they can email me on yzzatk@xtra.co.nz. First in, first served.
I look forward to seeing everyone there.
Regards
Kim
PS Please email me to let me know if you are not coming so we don't hang around waiting for you.

Info for Wednesday, April 13th.
Hi all,
Just a reminder about this week's Home School Group...
Where: We are initially meeting at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, Matai Street, Hamilton
then singing at 2 rest homes after this, at 1pm and then 1:30pm.
When: Meet at 10 sharp.
What: We will practise the songs as a group, make a craft to take as a gift when we sing to the old folks, enjoy a shared lunch together, then go out to 2 rest homes to visit and sing. (Trevellyn and Saint Joans)
Please bring: Something to SHARE for lunch
Extra pair of scissors, laminator or glue guns if you have them.
Is there anyone who would be happy to write out the words of the songs on large sheets of paper for the children to read as they sing? (It would help to have this done before hand - just saves time).
REMEMBER!!! Your children DON"T have to be wonderful singers - just willing to come and be a blessing to these old people. Especially our teens!!!
It's good to have an opportunity to GIVE out to those who are lonely and old and whose bodies are frail after all the years they have spent giving in their lifetime. (James 1v27 is an encouragement on this - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.)
An RSVP would be helpful please so we have some idea of numbers for the craft supplies we need.
Please RSVP to Charleen at <mailto:seiulifamily@xtra.co.nz>
seiulifamily@xtra.co.nz to help us plan our numbers, Thanks,
See you all on Wednesday for another really special day!
