Children will need:
* Full school uniform
* Packed lunch and drink (named)
* Warm jersey/jacket
* Sunhat if weather is like today!!
* Any medications or inhalers to Mrs Campbell first thing Thursday morning
Parent Helpers
Please meet Kohara at the Sound Garden at 10.55am
The class will go straight there after the bus arrives for our first performance
Please see Mrs Campbell for information sheet and phone list when you arrive there (or you can get it first thing in the morning from school if that's easier)
Main priority is keeping the children together as a group especially when moving between areas and assisting with taking children to the toilets as needed.
Important Information
If you are taking your child away from the Kohara group at any stage of the day you MUST let Mrs Campbell know as she is keeping the master list of our children.
Mrs O'Sullivan is on duty as stage manager of the Amphitheatre Area so will not be with Kohara for parts of the day.
Road crossings must be done at the supervised crossings - please role model this for the children.

Staff Planning Day
Due to a staff planning day on Friday, Kohara will have Ms Kelk and Tania Stott relieving for the day.
Arts Finale in the City
Next Thursday we have our school pop up Arts Finale in the city. We look forward to seeing you all there. Programmes/timetables will be out next week and families are encouraged to make the most of the free double decker bus to travel in and out of town. The children will bus in with their classes on normal buses.
As part of this day Kohara will be sharing some of our Visual Art from this term which is linked to different myths and legends that we have been reading. We have also re-told the legends for writing and will be reading these on the day. Plus we have a waiata to share and our children will also be sharing some of our Junior Kapa Haka songs.
Recorder group - the children who learn recorder have the opportunity also to share Traffic Jam with an audience on the day and if children can please bring their recorders to school each day between now and next Thursday as we will be practising in class time for this.
We will also be looking for some parent helpers to assist us with supervision on the day - if you think you could help us out with this please let us know. Our class is in town for around three hours both sharing our work and viewing the work and performances of other classes.
This week and next week our class programme is not running quite as usual as we are working hard on our performances, getting our art ready and practising our parts. The children will have a poem each night for reading but please encourage your child to read their favourite books at home, practise spelling their weekly words or essential lists words (on previous blog posts), write rhyming words or high frequency words, practise their skip counting or basic addition and subtraction facts including doubles and halves....
