Week 9 (27June - 1 July)
Welcome to Week 9!
Classroom Release
This week Room 19 has PE with Mr Lukes and Room 18 has Art with Mrs McHaffie on Tuesday from 11-12.30pm.
Disco
The PTA are running a disco this Friday 1 July. Junior children (Year 0-3) are welcome at the junior disco from 6-7pm and senior students (Year 3-6) have their disco from 7.15-8.15pm. The theme is pyjamas or onesies. $2 entry and glow products will also be on sale on the night.
Newspaper
We are desperate for some newspapers for our art area if anyone has a pile they no longer need.
Thank you also to the families who have donated puzzles, games and art supplies to Kohara. The children are loving these!
Reading Book returns
A huge thank you once again to our wonderful Kohara parents who have recently given up their time to help shelve our reading books. Your help is most appreciated.
PTA Fundraiser
The PTA's latest fundraiser is now underway - you can purchase great value pizza, pies or foodwrap. Orders are due back by Wednesday 6 July to the school office (including payment). Delivery is early next term. The eldest in the family should have brought home the order forms last week.
THE BIG EVENT
This is our major fundraiser for the year and it's happening in the school hall on the evening of Friday 28 October. The Big Event showcases a range of very talented performers including many of our own Waimairi parents.You get to relax and enjoy a musical showcase during the first part of the evening before the dance floor opens up and you get to boogie the rest of the night away. Make sure to book it in the diary now!
Reminders
Please remind children to bring their belongings home with them after school - recently we have had a number of library bags, jackets and jerseys left hanging outside overnight. We also have two different gloves that have been hanging around the classroom for a few weeks now - if not claimed this week, they will be put in the lost property box at the hall.
Have a great week :)

Mufti Day this Friday
This Friday the Pupil Council are running a mufti day to help raise funds for an organisation called the Jasper Project which helps out children in need by providing items they might not have (togs, towels, sneakers, warm jackets etc).
There will be a mufti day on Friday 24th June - children can come dressed in blue and yellow which are the colours of the Jasper Project and bring a gold coin donation. There will also be friendship bracelets available to purchase on the day (prices range up to $3.50 max) if the children would like to buy one.
They are hoping to have a school photo of everyone in their blue and yellow clothes during the day!

Mount Hutt by Conall
Mount Hutt
I went to Mount Hutt because I went on the chairlift. It was tickly when the chairlift went on my butt. I loved the ride on the chairlift. When I got to the top of the mountain I saw a jump and I went on the jump and I was scared because I was very high and I was going to fall off. But I stopped going. My mum skied up to me because my mum was telling me it was time to go to my lesson. Then they let me out because I was good. Then I went back to my tricks and all the fun. Then all the people came out because the lesson finished. Then we got into the car.

Matariki by Kahurangi
Matariki
Matariki you find by finding an orange star and look around for a pot made out of stars. Then you look up and find two middle size stars because they are the sisters of Matariki and the big star that guides all the other stars to the right place. Matariki means the place will be warm or cold. One night I went outside and tried to find it but I couldn't. I only found the orange star.

Arrival Times
A reminder that children should not be arriving and coming into class until 8.30am. There have been several instances lately of children arriving before the teachers and waiting inside in the dark. If there was an earthquake or other emergency, this could be rather traumatic for the children if they are on their own with no adults around. If there is a reason why your child needs to be at school earlier than this, please come and let us know. Many thanks.

Jonty's Dog
Jonty has certainly been busy with his projects lately. It's great to see him trying out lots of different kinds of projects. This time Jonty learned to sew a dog. One side can be used as a toy and the other side has furry material on it to make it a small soft cushion. The furry material adds a really nice texture which feels lovely to stroke.
Izzy's Poodle
Look at Izzy's poodle! What a creative way to make the curly hair using folded paper. It's a really neat detail Izzy!
Kingston and Jonty the Bakers
Jonty and Kingston decided to bake a chocolate cake. They had to organise their own ingredients and shopping list and follow lots of instructions to make it. It looked rather tasty once they had iced it and decorated it. Their next step will be learning to do the dishes 😉
How did it taste boys?
Leon's Skytower
Leon has been working hard to create his very tall Skytower. It reminds us of the Auckland Skytower because you can bungy jump off this one too. Leon used paint and vivid to decorate his Skytower and to add details like windows and doors.
