Hi all and a warm welcome back to school for a busy and hopefully sunny Term 4!
Sunhats
Term 4 is a sunhat term so please ensure your child has a well named navy wide brimmed sunhat at school. The children may either hang these on their bag hooks or keep them in their tote trays. The children will need these every day please.
Athletics and Junior Relays
This Thursday 13 October we will be joining the seniors down at St James Park to watch their final athletic rotations and have lunch, and will then cheer them on for their sprint finals before our junior relays. We will be picking our Kohara relay teams during the week so be sure to send the children to school in their running shoes this week.
There will also be a sausage sizzle down at the park - these will be pre-ordered at school.
Postponement day is the following Thursday 20 October.
We will be leaving school at 11.55am to walk down there - if you would like to walk down with us please feel free to meet us outside the classroom and join us on our walk or you might like to meet us down there at 1pm for the community lunch. Children will take their lunch boxes with them and for those getting sausages they will be given out down at the park.
Staffing
Miss Michele Walker continues her seven week teaching placement with us this term and will be working in Kohara over the next six weeks. The children were enjoying getting to know her at the end of last term and we look forward to having her back with us.
This term Mrs Campbell is taking over as Rakaia River Leader while Kiri is helping out at Aranui School. Tracy will be having River Leader release each Tuesday morning and Ms Jill Kelk will be working in Kohara on these mornings. Jill is one of our regular relievers in Kohara and knows our routines and children really well so we look forward to seeing more of Jill over the term.
ThisTuesday Mr Joe Allert will also be relieving in Kohara as Monique is away at Woodend Camp for the day.
Classroom Release
This week Room 19 have PE with Mr Lukes on Wednesday 11-12.30pm and Room 18 have Art with Mrs McHaffie on Wednesday from 1.30-3pm.
Stationery
Can all children please bring 2 whiteboard pens to school for the start of the term. Please hand them in to us and we will distribute them throughout the term as needed.
Spelling
Weekly spelling resumes this week. Please ensure spelling books are at school each Friday as otherwise the children miss out on being tested and getting their new words glued in. As you can appreciate this is a time consuming job and our life is made easier when everyone has their books at school.
Most children handed their books in before the end of last term but we are still missing a few notebooks - if your child still has theirs at home or in their bags can you please remind them to hand them in so they can get this weeks words.
Reading
Our reading programme this week will be a mix of either reading books or poems due to classroom release and athletic sports. Children are also welcome to read their own books or library books over the week.
Library day is Friday - please have books at school for returning.
Kapa Haka on Friday.
Have a great week :)
