Inspired Today - Prepared for Tomorrow


Upcoming events

Art Exhibition: Wednesday 23 September

 


A word from Kerri


Well it is almost the end of the term and this means we will only have 10 school weeks left of 2020! There are some very exciting events on the horizon.


For our Year 6 learners, who are coming into their final term at Bayfield, we have their graduation ceremony. 


This is a wonderful evening of celebration and I know that this Year 6 group has had to endure one of the most unique final years in our school history.


We are currently on the search for an inspiring graduation speaker and if you are connected to someone who has followed their dreams, faced challenges and would perhaps be interested in speaking, please let me know. 


Next week we will share our team term overviews and our Fridge List for term 4 so that all families can be as organised as possible.


Thank you to all the families that completed the recent Online Learning Survey, we really appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. 



2020 fundraiser - Path of the People (Te ara o te koha aroha)


Our Path of the People fundraiser is off to a fantastic start, with around 130 bricks donated so far for present, past and future students, staff, and even one for a very special pet!


Remember this is Bayfield's only fundraiser for 2020.  There's only 10 days left to donate bricks engraved with your child’s/children’s names, so please click here for more details or Kindo to donate now.


Hayfields

A reminder that the BCG party for the parents - Hayfields 2020 - is on Saturday 7 November.  Save the date in your diaries and watch this space in early Term Four.

Many thanks

Stacey - BCG Parent


Art Exhibition - Our changing world


Level 2.5 Art Exhibition


Process:


Our art exhibition is planned to launch next Wednesday and it will be open for parents to view with their children from Wednesday @ 2:45pm.  We will have an entry and exit point, QR codes, sign in sheets and hand sanitiser for parents to come through and see their children’s art. We recommend that parents try to practise social distancing where possible and are welcome to wear masks. 


While we are still at Level 2.5 we will monitor the number of people in the hall at anyone time.


Viewing Hours:


  • Wednesday 3pm-5pm ( NB: limited numbers will be allowed in during this time)

  • Thursday 8am-8:50am hall will be open for viewing with children

  • Thursday 9am-2:30pm parents are welcome to come and view without children during these times.

  • Thursday 2:30pm-5pm


What you will see


  • Calendar Art will be available to view in team folders

  • Artwork from all teams on display

  • Our collaborative canvases will be displayed and are for sale!


TradeMe Auctions


Our collaborative canvases are incredible pieces that are created by teams of children and teachers. Each teacher works with a small group to create a piece. Traditionally these pieces were auctioned at our annual Hammertime auction, but with the changes to 2020, they will be on TradeMe from this Friday and parents and families can bid on the canvases, until Thursday the 24 September at 7pm. 


Successful bidders will be contacted and the art can be collected on Friday.


QR codes with links to the trade auctions for each piece will be on display beneath the canvases.


Some previews!

In some spaces, children have allocated work areas, much like an allocated desk that y...
