Week 6 (7-11 March)

Another busy week this week - and a few changes to our usual programme. See below for details.

Swimming
Monday - optional lunchtime swim for Y1/2 children
Wednesday - class swimming
Friday - class swimming
*We are lucky enough to have some staff professional development opportunities with a swimming coach on Wed so please make sure children have their togs at school. See information below for children that have been away with the vomiting bug.

Update: Please disregard previous notice about extra swimming day on Thursday - we have done a swap with another class.

Vomiting Bug
We continue to have children from our class coming down with a vomiting bug. Please ensure your child stays home for an additional 24 hours after the last vomiting occurrence even if they are keen to return to school. Coming back the next day is only spreading the bug amongst classmates. Please also note that children who have been away with this bug are not able to use the school pool for 10 days after vomiting.

Staff Development
This week staff are being released to work with Mr Anderson and the management team. Our session is scheduled for Tuesday from 11.45-3pm. Kohara will have Tania Stott and Sue Marshall relieving.

Reading Returns Roster
A huge thank you to our fabulous parents who have been busy over the last few weeks shelving our class reading books. We greatly appreciate your time with this.

Kapa Haka on Thursday 12-12.30pm

Library Day is Friday. Great to see so many children with their library books and library bags. Remember these can be returned any time during the week - there is a container at each end of Kohara that they can go into.

Musical Instruments
We have been busy creating our musical instruments as part of our Music/Arts term. We still need longer cardboard tubes (e.g. glad wrap rolls or handy towel rolls length) so if you have any spare lying around home, we would love to take them off your hands!

Have a great week :)
