Junior Athletics Day
The weather forecast is looking good for our athletic sports on Tuesday starting at 11am on the back field. Remember junior children may wear sporty mufti and if possible a t-shirt in their team colour (please refer to the previous notice that went home or ask your child what team they are in).

Please remember a sunhat and a water bottle as the children will be outside between 11am and 1.30pm.

Classroom Release Time
Room 18 children have Art with Mrs McHaffie on Thursday afternoon from 1.30-3pm.

Reading
All class reading books and school library books should now be returned to school for end of year stocktake. If you find any more at home, please send them back asap.

We would also love a few helpers to help re-shelve our class reading books - if you have any spare time over the next few days we'd be most appreciative :)

Favourite Story
Because we have returned all our class library books we would love it if the children could bring a favourite book or Christmas story to share at school over the next few weeks (maximum of 2 each please). Please make sure they are named so we can return them at the end of the term.

Our junior Kapa Haka is on Tuesday from 1.30-2pm.

Craft Club
Craft club is on Tuesday lunchtime 12.45pm in Room 22.
