Week 8

 Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,


It is hard to believe we only have 9 days left of school for 2021.  We have noticed the children are getting tired.  It is very important to keep good routines at home.  Please also make sure the children are bringing a healthy lunchbox and they have a bottle of water every day.  We are not allowed to use the water fountains in the red light restrictions.    


Big Day in 

This Tuesday we are having our end of year celebration.  

The children are allowed to wear mufti to school on Tuesday.

Please send in $2 on Monday or Tuesday for the fish and chip lunch.

Unfortunately we are unable to have parents attend due to the Covid red light level


Children need

* Morning Tea

* Togs and Towel

* Water Guns - for water fight and water fun

* Sunhat

* $2 for lunch


Books

This week the book room is closed, so for the remainder of the year, we are unable to send reading books home.  The children will come home with literacy based activities for homework.  These could include readers made by the children, poems, word finds, structured literacy activities. Reading to your children is also very important, so reading a night story is a great activity to wind down before bed using books you have at home.



Can Drive

Thank you to the families who have supported the can drive.  We are still collecting this week, so feel free to send in canned food with your child

What’s Coming up this week …

Monday - Normal School Day

  Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,  We have made it to the last week of term!! Last year, term one wasn’t so successful, as we had gone into lockdown after only 8 weeks. It has been a great term. All of the classes have settled well with their new teachers and we, the teachers, have loved getting to know all of the children and families. Thank you for your support during this term with various school and classroom events.
