Welcome to Week 4 :)
Monday Meet Up
We have a welcome meet up on Monday morning to welcome our new families.
Seating for meet up has been tweaked slightly - the blue mats in the front row are for the Te Puna children, however Korimako children can sit on the next row of blue mats and Kohara children on the third row of blue mats. Please mention this to your children so they can leave room for the Te Puna children. A reminder that no children should be sitting on the adult's seats unless they are part of the welcome to Waimairi group being welcomed (they sit to the right of the stage).
Playground Leaders
Starting this week we are lucky enough to have our senior Playground Leaders beginning organised lunch time activities every day for the Year 0-4 children. Children can meet the playground leaders at the big tree just outside He Tangata at 12.45pm after they have eaten lunch and join in with the games. A huge thank you to our senior students for giving up their lunchtimes to offer this opportunity.
Craft Club
This runs every Tuesday lunchtime from 12.45pm in Room 22 (by the hall). All ages welcome.
If you or someone in your family is keen to volunteer as a helper for this please let us know.
Sickness
Besides chicken pox doing the rounds at school, we have also had a few children away with gastro bugs. A reminder that children should be kept home for at least 24 hours after they stop vomiting to avoid the spread of illness to others.
Classroom Release Time
On Wednesday Room 18 children have Mrs McHaffie for Art from 9-10.30am.
Kapa Haka
Junior Kapa Haka is on Tuesday 1.30-2pm in the hall.
Library Day
Please encourage children to return books each week as this is part of our classroom reading programme.
Poetry Folder Grumble!
Last week we had 26 children who did not have their Poetry folders at school in the poem containers!!!!!! Please remind children to put their folders in the green boxes on Monday morning before school, and reading folders are to go in their tote trays every morning. We are having a big focus on this at the moment as it wastes valuable learning time whilst we wait for the children to locate these in their school bags.
