Week 1 (30 April-4 May)

Welcome back to Term 2. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday break with your fabulous children. This term is all about Science so we are looking forward to learning more about the Living World this term.

Classroom Release
This term the class groups have swapped over so Room 18 has Art with Mrs McHaffie on Wednesday from 9-10.30am. Room 19 will have PE with Mr Lukes on Thursday from 9-10.30am.

Parent Help
This term we would love some regular parent helpers to help out with literacy and numeracy activities, working mostly with individual or small groups. Unfortunately this is not suitable for preschoolers. We are hoping to start this from Week 2 so if you are able to help on any of the days/times below please let us know or flick us an email to tracy.campbell@waimairi.school.nz or monique.osullivan@waimairi.school.nz

Monday 11-12.00pm

Tuesday 9-10.30am
Tuesday 11-12.00pm
Wednesday 9-10.30am

Thursday 9-10.30am
Thursday 11-12.00pm

Because this will be a regular weekly time, all parent helpers must be police vetted prior to working with the children. This can be done by popping in to see Sandra in the office with some photo ID/Drivers Licence and she will give you the form to fill in. This is a strictly confidential process. If you have been vetted already, then you are good to go :)

Blend of the Week
This term we are focusing on a different blend sound each week. Our poem and classroom activities will also be based around the weekly blend. We would love it if you could talk about the blend at home each week - maybe have a scavenger hunt around home to see what you can find that starts with the blend sound.

This week our blend is Ch

Kapa Haka
Junior Kapa Haka is on Tuesday after lunch.

Library
Our Library day is Friday. Holiday books can be returned any time during the week to our yellow library containers in the middle space of the classroom.

Chess Club
Mr Lukes is keen to get the lunchtime Chess Club up and running over the winter months. We will let you know the day once it starts up as we know there are some very keen chess players in Kohara.

Have a great week - see you at Monday Meet Up at 8.50am for our Science Term ignition!
