Postponement of events:<\/b> <\/div>
Our tamariki have been putting so much effort into our Cross Country training and we know how much they were looking forward to showing us their dance moves at the Disco. Unfortunately, these events were postponed due to the weather and sickness at school. We will update you on new dates for our Junior Park Explorers trip and Disco as soon as we have them.  <\/div>
We do know that the new Cross Country<\/b> date is next Tuesday, 16th May,<\/b> from 2 - 2:50pm.<\/b><\/div>

Carpark: <\/b><\/div>
To keep everyone safe when arriving and leaving school, do not walk through the carpark. This area is for staff cars, taxis and accessibility parking only. Thanks to everyone who is using the pedestrian gates onto the park, near the flagpole, on Sandwich Road by the PTA uniform room, or onto Eastern Terrace.<\/div>

<\/div>
Sickness at school: <\/b><\/div>
We do have a few cases of Covid-19 in the school again, among staff, students and the wider wh\u0101nau. We also seem to have had a number of children with tummy bugs. Please do keep children away if they are feeling unwell and do test if Covid symptoms are present. At school, we remind tamariki to cough\/sneeze into their elbow and wash their hands regularly, especially after blowing their nose, coughing, sneezing and using the toilet.<\/div>

<\/div>
Coronation tree planting: <\/b><\/div>
We have been invited by the Christchurch City Council to plant a commemorative Coronation Tree to mark the Coronation of King Charles III. We have received a k\u014dwhai tree, which was planted by the junior playground with the help from the oldest and youngest child at Beckenham Te Kura o P\u016broto. You did a fabulous job planting the tree Sylvia!<\/div>

House Groups: <\/b><\/div>
Our Koru children have all been allocated a 'House' to belong to: Fisher, Heathcote, Tennyson and Waimea. Children from the same family\/wh\u0101nau are put into the same house. Each house has its own 'chant' and tamariki learn this so they can participate in the house chant at sports and special events, and in Celebration Assemblies, it is their house that has won the House Points for that fortnight. You can find the House Chants here<\/a>, and there are also videos that you can share with your child to help them learn their house chant. M\u0101 t\u0101tou katoa te waka e hoe! We Get There Together!<\/div>
