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.
