Week 4 (31 - 4 Nov)

Welcome to Week 4.

Tennis Coaching
This week Kohara have 3 tennis coaching sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 12-12.30pm. The $3 cost will be added to term accounts. All our sessions will be held at school as the coaches from Waimairi Tennis Club will be coming to us. All equipment is supplied but if children have their own tennis racquet that they would like to bring, they are more than welcome.

Classroom Release
Room 19 have PE with Mr Lukes on Wednesday morning from 9-10.30am.

Halloween Disco
Monday 31 October from 6-7pm for juniors (seniors is 7.15-8.15pm). Entry is $5 which includes a glow product and lollies at the end of the night. Come along in Halloween fancy dress if you wish.

The Big Event
A huge thank you to all our Kohara parents who supported the Big Event on Saturday night. It was so lovely to see such a great turn out of parents from our class and gosh what a fantastic evening of entertainment. The singing was absolutely amazing, the band had everyone up dancing and everyone was in awe of the special guest appearances of Darren, our very talented caretaker, and Mrs Coleman! If you are able to make it to Monday Meet Up you might even get to watch Darren's encore performance!

Shoe Boxes
We are needing shoe boxes for an activity next week as part of our Health & PE Inquiry. If you have any spare show boxes lying around at home, we'd love them!

Park Visit
This week on Friday we are visiting St James Park leaving school at 10.45 and returning by 12.30pm. We had a great time last week at Edgar MacIntosh Park and this week we are going to compare it to St James Park. We are finding lots of things in our outdoor environment that contribute to our personal health and wellbeing and we have noticed that many people use our local parks for lots of different activities. Last week we saw people walking dogs, exercising, meeting friends and family, eating, playing and enjoying the playground, relaxing under trees and enjoying nature. We are also thinking about the things at each park that add to our enjoyment and use of the different outdoor spaces.

Sunhats
Thank you to all those who are remembering their sunhats each day. It is really important that all children have one at school especially with our walks out and about during the day.

Book Returns
Please continue to encourage your child to return their reading books from the previous week on a Monday. This keeps our books in circulation so that other classes can use them and we appreciate those that remember to pop them in the box on a Monday morning. Thanks also to Mandy once again for continuing to shelve our books for us. If you ever have a few spare minutes and there are books in the container, you are welcome to grab them and pop them away in the reading room. Many hands make light work!

Have a fabulous week :)
