Weather Report (Mon 9th - Fri 13th)

WEATHER REPORT

Term One, Week Three

Today for Monday, it was a cloudy yet sunny day for the school. No possible rain disturbed today, although sun protection wasn't ignored.

Tuesday:
Low temperature: 18 or 19 degrees celsius
High temperature: 24 or 25 degrees celsius
Low chances of rain, mostly sunny day with a few clouds, but sun protection still out.
Wind speeds more than 20 kilometres per hour

Wednesday:
Low: 16 degrees celsius
High: 23-25 degrees celsius
Extremely low chances of rain for us, but partly cloudy throughout most of the day.
Sun protection advised.
Wind speeds still a bit over 20 kilometres per hour but also, slower than Tuesday's.

Thursday:
Low: 17 or 16 degrees celsius
High: 23 degrees celsius
Again, really low chances of rain for us on Thursday. Partly cloudy, but sunny as well. Winds decrease into the night, leaving a possible slight breeze for Friday.
Sun protection advised.

Friday:
Low: 17-18 degrees celsius
High: 24-26 degrees celsius
For this superstitious day, we can expect, again, low chances of rain, with clouds appearing to block the sun, but never fear, it's also sunny for other parts in the day.
As said, the winds ease down below 20 kilometres per hour.
Sun protection advised and encouraged.

Weather Report for Term One, Week Two

WEATHER REPORT

Term One, Week Two

Onto the second week of Term One, and for this week we may see some chances of rain rise up and ease down to a fair chance of a rainy or sunny day.

Monday 2nd February:
For Monday we start off with a high chance of showers, which then decrease onto an easy 24%. Luckily, for parts of the day, you can expect a cloudy but a little sunny for the day. A north westerly breeze comes in, going up to just 23 kilometres per hour. Highest temperature probably about 28 degrees celsius, while a low might be just 21.
Tuesday 3rd February:
Another day with chances of showers that will decrease throughout the day, highest being 48%. Winds suddenly turn from northwesterlies to southwesterlies, reaching up to 30 or under kilometres per hour. Highest temperature could be 26 degrees and lowest could be 21, again.

Wednesday 4th February:
Amazingly enough, Wednesday could be the less-rainiest day so far! With chances of rain less than 10%, expect for a cloudy but sunny day, with western winds at a "breezy" speed, clocking between 20 and 30 kilometres per hour. Highest temperature could be a 26, while a low could be a 19.

Thursday 5th February:
Last day for the week (since Friday is Waitangi Day), and we end the week off with...possible rain, with chances suddenly soaring through the 10%, and reaching into the 70s. Westerly winds go up to about 20 kilometres or faster, depending on what happens. Bring a raincoat, just in case this actually comes true. Highest temperature might be 22 degrees, while lowest might be 19.

Friday 6th February:
With Waitangi Day, it's better than Wednesday, with chances of rain dropping below Wednesday's chances. We can hope for the chances of rain, or rain in particular, to back off for the day, leaving us with a warm and mostly sunny day, temperatures going from a high 23, to a low 18. Although we have sunny parts in our day, stay aware about the southwesterly winds, possibly reaching up to 30 kilometres or higher.

That's the weather for this week. Enjoy.

Weather data provided by 3, or possibly more, websites. Weather may be different than what is read in this so please, stay safe and aware in the outdoors. In case of a situation where the Weather Report is technically right for a week, be glad to have the Weather Report on the Tamaki Primary School News website.

Weather for Term One, Week One!

Know when to cool down with this week's weather report...

Tuesday 27th January:
To start off the term, with a high of 27 degrees celsius (low 19, possibly), we should expect to see hardly any rain with precipitation chances being below 40%. Meaning, more than 60% of a sunny day. That's great! South easterly winds will get up to about 16 km/h. Other than that, a great start to the term and school year.

Wednesday 28th January:
Onto the second day of term one now, and the winds might start to ease up a bit, going over 20 kilometres per hour, and maybe a chance of rain. Although, there is a bigger chance of not having rain, so never fear. We could possibly have a high of 29 degrees celsius, and a possible low of 19 degrees celsius.

Thursday 29th January:
Third's the word for Thursday! With a high of a possible 28 degrees (low maybe 20 degrees), you can hope for no rain with a high chance of over 30% of rain to drizzle our day. But again, it's almost sunny. With a top wind speed going up to possibly 29 degrees, we may face some winds over 20 kilometres per hour.

Friday 30th January:
A low of 21 degrees, with a high of 27, to end the school week, we have a chances of rain ready to come out on the weekend, but hopefully it doesn't spoil our last day of the school week, with small winds rising up to about 21 kilometres per hour.

That is your weather for this week. May not go as well but these are predictions.

Important Notice

IMPORTANT NOTICE

School is back! The start of Term One, 2015, will begin on JANUARY THE 27TH.

Please do not attempt to "accidentally" miss the first day of school!

Be prepared for another year of amazing learning!

Class of 2014 Graduation

"I'm gonna miss you..."
-Words from one of the Year Eights, now Year Nines.

We looked back on the memories the Year Eights had to share. The video was put together by the fabulous Whaea Petra and Mr Wong, and can be screened below:

The Class of 2014 Graduation Ceremony was held on Thursday, the 11th of December, a day before the last day for the year. Filled with memories and rejoice, and not to forget, a few tears from some people, the Year Eights, or the audience. But remember, these are times of celebration, and what a celebration it was.

The Year Sevens were one of the many who were partly emotional through the ceremony. One Year Seven said, and in their words, "So sad to see my babies go...". No explanation for that saying at all. 

While the Year Sevens were in some sadness and some happiness bumps, the group in the middle of it all, the Year Eights, were a bit emotional too. Mavis, one of the Class of 2014, made an unscheduled end to her Year Eight speech, but some would say that it was quite "metaphoric" and still, even with the different choice of words, it was "still a great way to end a speech".

A performance by the School Band and that was the end of the Class of 2014 Graduation Ceremony.

Only thing left to do, now...

Look through the photos of the graduation...

Here is a link to the album.

End of School Year!

This is it!

School's done and dusted for 2014! A relief for the teachers, if you know what I mean...

We are farewelling two wonderful teachers, Mr Wong and Miss May, who are sadly leaving us for a while.

Have a great time over the Christmas break, and the New Years, and the overall Summer break! Auckland's experiencing some weather issues but it'll be fine, hopefully.

Get plenty of rest and a dose of coolness for the holidays, and come back to school in 2015! Huzzah!

It has been said that the Year Eights are leaving Tamaki Primary for their new journeys in college. Hope for the best and get ready!

2015...bring it on!
-Tamaki Primary News Crew, mostly Willy, one of the reporters, but also the T.P.S News Crew.

Term 3 Holidays!

Term Three is done! Hooray! One more term until the end of the year! But, of course, it'll be the last term for the Year 8's. We'll bring out the tissues on the last day...

In these holidays be sure to keep safe, as you only have 2 weeks. 2 weeks, I say. School does not start on October 21st. October the 13th. Sorry to spoil your holiday already.

Alrighty then, let's get into the fun, shall we?

Dont forget, Daylight Savings starts probably today! Or Sunday morning!

All the best,
-The Tamaki Primary News Team

Slapped Cheek

There has been an outbreak of Slapped Cheek at schools in Auckland.

Slapped Cheek is a common childhood illness that affects children mostly under the age of 10. It causes bright red cheeks - like you've been slapped. It is a mild disease and most children experience only mild symptoms such as:

1. Low grade fever
2. Chills
3. Headache
4. Body ache
5. Sore throat
6. Diarrhea

These symptoms improve after 3-7 days and then a rash develops. It is spread by close contact, coughing, and sneezing, so encourage your children to cover their mouths when coughing and to wash their hands.

• The rash starts with firm, bright red cheeks that are burning hot (hence the name 'Slapped Cheek')
• A fine, red, lace-like rash then develops on the child's body, arms and legs
• The rash may be itchy and may seem to fade away and flare up when the child is hot or upset
• The rash usually lasts up to 2 weeks, but may last up to 6 weeks
• Slapped Cheek is a virus so there is no specific treatment

Our school nurse suggests you keep your child at home because Slapped Cheek is infectious before it is diagnosed, and to provide:

1. Rest
2. Panadol to relieve fever
3. Cold flannels to cheeks (comfort)
4. Encourage oral fluids

It is important to avoid contact with pregnant woman in first trimester of pregnancy (can cause iron deficiency & miscarriage) and people who have a low immunity.

Flu Notice

Hello, everyone!

I am pointing out that since this is the last month of winter, doesn't mean we are away from the flu! Yes, it's true! This is for you! So, this post will be about being ready for one more month! Hooray!

Want a short quiz, here are some questions...

1. Had a sudden start to the flu? Yes / No
2. Suffering from a fever? Yes / No
3. Experienced a headache or two recently? Yes / No
4. Coughing more than usual? Yes / No
5. Having muscle aches sometimes? Yes / No

If you have answered "yes" to either one or more of these questions, you may be having the early symptoms of influenza. Beware, going untreated may lead to giving the symptoms to another person, and if that happens, well, you will know if this does happen, so be careful this month, please.

To stay well away from getting influenza:

1. Have the flu vaccine
2. Wash and dry hands often
3. Stay away from people who are sick
4. Stay away from work or school if unwell
5. Cover coughs and sneezes
6. Do not share germs with others (share food already bitten, bottles already drank)

On another note:

Have you suffered from a mild fever?
What about a mild headache?
Had a blocked or runny nose in the past few weeks?
Had a cough sometimes for no reason?

If you had said "yes" to one or more to these questions, you might as well have a cold, but don't worry, you'll be fine! I hope...

Also, we might be expecting to have some cold days for this month so it's best to stay warm. Wear a jumper and track pants. It's the latest fashion!

That is all for now. Thank you for reading!
