Here is the latest information from the Kōwhai Team.
Athletics Day
Thank you to all the parents who were able to come to our Athletics Day last week. It was wonderful to see so many of you supporting the children in their events. Here are some pictures of the children participating in the events. We are still compiling a video and will upload them ASAP.
Kapa Haka Uniforms
We would love to have all the Kapa Haka uniforms returned to school. Please check if your child has a uniform at home and send it to school next week. Thank you to all those who have already returned their uniforms.
Reading Books
We are nearing the end of the year and are in the process of returning all reading books to our resource room. Please have a look at home to see if you have any books 'floating' around. We would welcome any from previous years too. as this would help us to know which levels we need to order in 2019. We will leave a box out in the hub each morning for the book to be put into.
If you would like to help to put some books away, we would LOVE to hear from you too!
Home Learning
Next week will be our last week with Home learning. We thank you for supporting this part of our programme. Although we won't be sending home spelling and maths, please continue with nightly reading as this assists not only reading fluency but also writing.
Toys/ Jewellery at school
We have noticed a few toys starting to come to school across the team. Could you please take a moment to look in your child's bag to ensure they only have the items for learning: drink bottle, sunhat, lunch, home learning folder. Fluffy keychains are best to stay at home.
The only jewellery that can be worn at school are items of cultural significance (pounamu or bone carving). Earrings need to be studs only to ensure ears stay safe when the children are playing.
Have a great weekend!
