Week 7 (1-5 June)

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend - wasn't it fabulous to have such great weather too!

Spelling Programme
Starting this week, some of our Kohara children will begin a weekly spelling programme which will be tested at school each Friday. You will have received a notice and notebook today (Tuesday) if your child is involved.

For children who are not yet starting this programme, please encourage them to continue learning the following Essential List words as these are the most commonly used words in our writing.
List 1: a, and, I, in, it, my, the, to, was, we
List 2: at, but, for, got, had, he, is, me, of, on, she, so, that, then, there, they, up, went, when, you
ALL children have regular time during the week where we practise spelling our basic sight words but additional revision at home is always beneficial.

Classroom Release
Room 19 has Art on Wednesday 11-12.30pm
Room 18 has PE on Thursday 11-12.30pm

Musical Hour
We have a number of students in Kohara who are sharing their musical talents as part of the Musical Hour on Wednesday night (3 June) from 7-8pm in the hall. You are most welcome to pop along and enjoy their performances. Hope to see lots of you there!

Quiz Night
Parents - have you got a team together? Grab some friends or family and book a table at the office for Friday 12 June 7.20pm. This is always such a fun night, the bar is open, there are laughs aplenty and you could be in to win some great prizes. Tickets are $60 which includes up to 6 team members. Come along - see if you can beat our staff teams!! Feel free to ask us if you'd like to know more.

Lost Property
This continues to clutter up our learning space!! We spend a lot of time picking up clothing off our floor and cloakroom area. Please encourage your child to check they are bringing their jerseys and jackets home each night - some days last week we handed out four or more items back to some children! Hopefully, together we can make a difference!

Disco
Coming up on Friday 19 June, 6-7pm for the juniors.

Reading Roster
We're still looking for a few more names to volunteer with returning reading books over the next few weeks. Please contact us if you can spare half an hour during the week with this (any time that suits you). Thanks to those who have already volunteered this term.

Library Day
Please remember library day on Friday. The children can bring their library books back to Kohara any time before Friday and leave them in our class library container.
