Week 6 Term 3

Ski Day Week is finally here.

Last week we spent time with the Year 4's thinking about our 'hopes' for the day and also using the internet to check out the Snow Farm and find information about snow code rules and what to wear etc. Great to see that we are all getting ourselves sorted - thank you to those people who are loaning clothing for the day.

Please no puffer jackets: they are too hot for the activity, are not waterproof and get very heavy when wet. We have talked about the importance of windproof and waterproof jackets. Wearing layers of clothing underneath is what is needed for warmth. To save getting sneakers wet, gumboots are often the go to keep feet dry at the end of the day - they are also easy to get in and out of. A clothes peg can be used to keep them together as a pair while you are skiing.

Please be at the church car park no later than 6:45am. Have your gear in one back pack. The parent who is looking after you for the day will ask to see:

• waterproof and windproof pants and jacket
• waterproof gloves (I noticed in Queenstown NW a big bin of great cheap gloves - perhaps at ours too)
• helmet attached to a strap of your backpack
• sun glasses or ski goggles
• sunblock
• a good sized lunch with food for morning and afternoon tea
• plenty to drink. 2 bottles might be a good idea.
• plastic bag with a spare set of clothing in case you get very wet
• You will be given a hi-vis vest as you get on the bus.
