Reading and Library Books
Please keep the reading and library book returns coming. We would like to have all reading books re-shelved by the end of the week. Library day Friday - children will be able to get books out for over the holidays.
A big thank you to Mandy for helping us this week with returning books. If anyone else has a few spare minutes during the week, please feel free to grab a pile out of the grey container. There's plenty of books to go around :)

Week 10 (4-8 July)
Wow hasn't this term flown by! It's been crazy busy - the children will be looking forward to recharging their batteries over the holidays!
Reading
Can ALL reading books please be returned this week so they can be reshelved before the holidays.
We are not running our normal reading programme this week so the children will not be bringing home a book to read at night. Instead you could enjoy sharing some favourites off the book shelf, check out/play a literacy game off the blog, practice how many words you can write in 10 minutes (try to include all the small words e.g. I, am, is, to, the... as well as rhyming words at, cat, hat, sat, etc and words which start the same but have different endings e.g. play, plays, played, playing), visit the public library, practise your handwriting or write a letter or email to someone.
Staffing
This week Mrs Campbell has release time as part of our Teacher Maths Inquiry Project that we are part of, so you may see a few other relieving teachers popping in and out this week.
Library
Library day as usual on Friday. Please have books at school ready to be returned on Friday. A number of children have overdue books - it would be great if we could have these back.
PTA Fundraiser
Orders close this Wednesday 6 July for the pizza, pie and foodwrap fundraiser. Payment can be made to the office. Make sure to shoulder tap a few friends and other family members for their orders!
Thank You!
A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful Kohara parents who have given up their time this term to parent help, shelve our reading books each week, or who have donated craft items or puzzles and games. We certainly do appreciate your help and support so once again thank you from us both as well as on behalf of the Kohara kids!
End of Term
School finishes at 3pm on Friday and starts back for Term 3 on Monday 25 July.
Have a safe and happy holiday.

WHAT NOW STARS!
Just up watching What Now....who do you think I saw? Johnny, Brock, Ruby, Bela, Amelia, Lily, Charlotte, Grace and Kingston in a gorgeous bubble bee jersey. It was hard to see everyone there as I'm pretty sure most of you were covered in sticky stuff (not sure what you call it but wish we had some at school!). I think this week we need to write some postcards....learn our mihi...there were lots of good ideas on What Now! Hope you all had a great time.
