Stand Tall

We have a vision that all our children will leave Little River School proud and confident in who they are. Confident because they have the academic skills to choose what they want to do, and confident in their relationships with people so they can adjust to any educational situation.

Little River School is a great place to be. We believe the children get an excellent grounding at our school which enables them to meet with success and develop skills needed for life long learning.

Request from Years 6 and 7 Technology
22 Jul 2026

Our years six and seven students are working on a technology project and we need your help please.

They have been given this brief:"How might we design a greenhouse structure that keeps plants warm and protected, using only recycled plastic bottles and reclaimed materials?"

So please, we are after plastic bottles and any surplus timber, such as 50x50, 100x50, etc, that you might have lying around. 

Many thanks from the students and Eleanor

Kānuka - Technology
21 Jul 2026

A sensory board is a board with items on it that can be touched, squished, stroked. For technology we are making sensory / fidget boards.  The tamariki have painted their boards and we have requested that they bring in items next week to stick on the boards. If your child is stuck for ideas google sensory boards - images. The items need to be unwanted. I have collected lids and sewing reels for part of mine. Nothing needs to be bought or new. We are all about reusing and repurposing items. 

Two tamariki bought in lovely collections today - items that could be spun, squished, spun, manipulated... 

They need approx tenish small items.

Milo Monday

Monday is Milo Monday! $2 for a yummy milo with marshmallows. 
The numbers are small enough now that tamariki do not need to bring their own cup. ​
