Pink Primary Pupils - Pink Shirt Day in Tamaki Primary!

Today is Pink Shirt Day for 2015. All around New Zealand, people from all corners, such as schools, workplaces, and other places, celebrated this day. Tamaki Primary was one of the schools celebrating and participating in this day against bullying.

Participating in a sea of pink shirts and pink items and accessories, Tamaki Primary, and with the help of their Student Councillors, organized an assembly dedicated to the day. The assembly included a performance from the school band (with songs related to self-power, confidence, hope) , a skit performed from the Student Council, a short video made by the Student Council, and tonnes of fun all throughout.

Throughout the day, in Morning Tea and Lunchtime, everyone was surprisingly being aware of bullying when they saw it, and was being friendly in the courts, playground, and on the field!

In total, we all raised - a little over one-hundred dollars! All the money raised will be donated to the Mental Health Foundation New Zealand.

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 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.
