Welcome to Week 2 :)
Spelling
A slight change of plans - our first lot of spelling words will be coming home on Monday this week. We decided not to send them on Friday since we were out of the classroom and wanted to talk the children through the process before sending them home.
Please send notebooks back to school on Thursday for testing.
Reading Returns Roster
We would love some volunteers to help shelve our class reading books. If you can spare a few minutes - please add your name to a week on the roster outside Kohara. This can be done on any day Tuesday to Friday to suit you. Thanks in anticipation!
Classroom Release Time
Room 18 have PE with Mr Lukes on Tuesday morning 9-10.30am.
Measurement
Some of our maths groups have been exploring measurement. We are learning that you can use non standard measures (hand spans, paces, feet, cubes, ice block sticks etc) to measure things as well as standard measures like centimetres and metres using rulers, tape measures etc.
You might like to explore measuring things around your home. What kind of measures can you find to measure length? We would love to see any photos of the children measuring at home. Feel free to email them to us on tracy.campbell@waimairi.school.nz or monique.osullivan@waimairi.school.nz
Parent Help
Thank you to those who have returned parent help notices (sent home last week). We will send a confirmation notice out this week to those involved. A reminder that police vetting must be done before you start helping - Sandra or Jackie at the office will talk you through how this is done.
Remember to grab a volunteer green lanyard from the office on your way to parent help.
Thanks so much for helping - not only do the children love seeing you, but we both really appreciate the help as well.
PTA Fundraiser - Foodwrap
A notice went home last Thursday to the oldest in the family for our foodwrap fundraiser. A great time to stock up on tin foil, gladwrap or baking paper. These rolls are great and last for ages. Orders close on the 9 August so start asking your friends and family for their orders!
The next PTA meeting is on Tuesday August 15th at 7pm in the school library for anyone who is keen to come along and join our friendly group or just find out more about what we do. You are welcome to pop in for a visit without committing to joining.
