Welcome to Week 6 :)

Staffing
This week Mrs O is home with her youngest son as he has the chicken pox. Kohara welcomes Mr Richard Guise (Monday), Ms Jill Kelk (Tuesday and Thursday) and Mrs Bindy O'Callaghan (Wednesday plus Tuesday morning for Mrs Campbell's River Leader release). Mrs O will be back in on Friday for a change of scenery!!

Classroom Release
Room 18 will have Art with Mrs McHaffie on Wednesday afternoon.
Room 19's PE this week has been rescheduled until next week.

Swimming
Our class swimming will start next week and we will be swimming every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Children are expected to have their togs and towel at school for our class lessons. If there is a medical reason why your child cannot participate, please advise us as soon as possible.

Farewell
This week we say farewell to Miss Michele Walker who is finishing up her seven week teaching placement with us. Michele has been an absolute star and the children have loved working with her during her time with us. We wish Michele all the very best for her future teaching career.

Shared Lunch
On Friday 18th November we will be having a shared lunch for Miss Walker. Can all children please bring a plate of food suitable to share for lunch to school on Friday (can be left on the bench in Room 18 in the morning).

Showtime Performance
On Friday afternoon the children will be watching a special performance of the Showtime 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. We are really looking forward to watching this. For families who would like to attend, you can purchase tickets for the evening shows from the school office.

Library
Please send library books along to school for our library visit on Friday. Our last issue date is Friday 2 December and then ALL books will be due back by Wednesday 7 December at the latest. A good time to start hunting out books that are overdue.

PTA
PTA Meeting Tuesday 15th at 7.30pm in the library - this month we are looking at fundraising ideas for next year. All new members welcome - pop along and you'll see lots of familiar faces from Kohara there!

Health & PE Inquiry
The children have recently finished their designs for their cooperative dioramas. Each pair of children  designed a part of our school outdoor environment with some very cool suggestions for our rebuild. We particularly like the mud slide in the forest, the roller coaster out to the lunch area and the fabulous looking sandpit and bike track designs! These are on display in class - feel free to pop in and check them out!

Have a great week :)
