Week 6 (19-23 November)

Welcome to Week 6 :)

Class Swimming
This week we start our class swimming (if that rain goes away!)
Our Kohara swimming days are Tuesday and Friday. Please send togs, towels and goggles on those days. It's also a good time to check that all items of school uniform are well named to avoid mix ups in the changing rooms!

Absences
Please remember to let the school office know if your child is going to be absent from school. This saves them time from having to make follow up phone calls to you. Many thanks for your support with this - we know the office staff appreciate it.

Classroom Release Time
This week Room 18 children have Art with Mrs McHaffie on Wednesday morning from 9-1.30am.

Kapa Haka 
Matua Steve is unavailable this week so there is no Kapa Haka on Tuesday.

Showtime Performance
On Friday afternoon the children will be attending the Showtime Performance in the school hall. We are looking forward to watching our many talented Waimairi senior students in this.

Craft Club
Tuesday lunchtime 12.45pm in Room 22.

Library 
Please return books for our class visit on Friday.

Fitzroy Resthome Visit
We are busy practising our singing for our upcoming visit to the Fitzroy Resthome. This is a great chance for us to spread joy amongst our community and to give the gift of giving to the elderly residents. The children were given a paper notice last week with more information.

PTA Meeting
Our next meeting is Tuesday 20th November (this week) at 7.30pm in the school library. We would love to see some new faces so if you've been considering coming along, we would love to see you. We are a friendly bunch and there is no pressure to take on anything extra (unless you're keen to join a sub committee down the track for a specific event). We will be looking at ideas for 2019 so the more the merrier! Feel free to ask Mrs O if you have any questions.

Junior Athletics Day
This will be coming up on Tuesday 4 December between 11-12.45pm with a family picnic lunch to follow. Postponement day will be Friday 7 December. We look forward to showing off our running, jumping and throwing skills for you. We will also be holding our class relays that we missed at the senior athletics day from 12.20pm on that day.

Have great week :)
