Week 10 (4-6 April)

Welcome to Week 10 :)
We hope you all enjoyed a safe and happy Easter break with your family.

The Fair!
This Saturday 7th April is the highly anticipated Waimairi School Fair! The children are so excited and we are all looking forward to seeing you all here between 11am and 3pm on Saturday to check out the activities and stalls.

For those who offered to help out with our Rakaia River stalls, we will be in touch this week to confirm times. Even if you are not rostered on to help, you and your child are welcome to call by our site (located in Ara Atu, Room 14/15) and lend a hand during the day. The more the merrier! We will be selling our butterfly bags, t shirt bags, painted rocks, and lollypop creatures. There will also be face painting, hair braiding, nail salon and a nerf target range. We are also hosting players from the Canterbury Rams in the hall during the middle of the day.

Remember if your child would like to enter the float your boat competition, then bring along a small homemade boat and for a gold coin donation you can enter to see if you can make it across the school pool first! You can sign up on the day or else just let Tracy or Monique know if your child is keen to enter. This event is being hosted by the senior children from Whanaketanga (Room 7/8).

Mufti
This Friday (6 April) is a mufti day in support of the fair. Children can wear their favourite clothes and please send along either some home baking or a chocolate bar which will be used at the fair.

Swimming
The school pool has now closed for the season so no more class swimming until the end of the year. If your family purchased a pool key, you can now take it to the office and get your bond money returned.

Lost Property
There has been a huge pile of lost property in recent weeks - items that are named have been returned to bag hooks for the children to take home. Unnamed items have been placed in the school lost property container in the hall. Please ensure items are well named as this makes it easy to return clothing to the right owner.

Classroom Release
Room 18 have PE with Mr Lukes and Room 19 have Art with Mrs McHaffie on Wednesday afternoon from 1.30-3pm.

Library
Library day is Friday. Books can be returned any time to the yellow library containers in the middle space of Kohara. Thanks for remembering to send the library bags along as well.
