Week 5 (12-16 November)

Welcome to Week 5:)

Wednesday - Strike Day
A reminder that school is closed this Wednesday 14th November due to the Teachers Strike.
Thank you to all those who have expressed their support - we do appreciate your kind thoughts as we address getting funding for additional support for children (with both learning, social and behavioural needs) and smaller class sizes.

Friday - Canterbury Anniversary Day (Show Day)
School is closed for Canterbury Anniversary Day on Friday 16 November. We hope you enjoy the long weekend with your family.

Tennis
We are scheduled to have our last tennis session this Thursday 15 November. Please ensure children are at school by 8.50am sharp as we will be leaving promptly after the roll to walk down to the Waimairi Tennis Club. Please send a sunhat, warm jersey and a drink bottle along with your child.

Classroom Release Time
Room 18 have Art with Mrs McHaffie and Room 19 have PE with Mr Lukes on Tuesday afternoon this week.

Reading Books
Please remind children to send these back to school - we collect the books from the previous week on a Monday so they can be returned to the reading room for other classes to use. If you are able to help out with shelving books, we would appreciate your time. This can be down at any time that suits you.

Calendar Art Orders
Calendars, cards and diaries went home with children today (Monday) for those families that ordered these. Please check school bags!

Junior Athletics
Our junior athletics will be held on Tuesday 4 December from 11am - 1pm. More information will be sent home in coming weeks.

Fun Run Fun!
Thanks to all our Kohara families that supported the first ever Waimairi School Fun Run/Walk on Sunday. The weather was perfect and it was so wonderful to see a good turn out from Kohara. Mrs O and Mrs Campbell enjoyed the 5km walk and seeing the big smiles on the children's faces as they crossed the finish line. Well done Kohara kids!

Have a great week :)
