Please read carefully through the this information as this provides details about what to do as a parent\/whanau helper during our time at Pioneer Pool. <\/p>
Helping Children<\/b><\/p>
<\/p>
- We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable at all times, so if you assist children in the changing rooms, please give verbal guidance. You do not need to dress or undress the children. <\/li>
- Encourage the children to be as independent as possible and prompt them with what they need to do. <\/li>
- Encourage children to use quiet voices in the changing room and keep their belongings in one place. <\/li>
- Two or more parent\/wh\u0101nau helpers should be present, while others can wait at the changing room entrance to check that children have all their belongings. <\/li>
- Parents can assist children to put their belongings into one of the cubbies provided. <\/li>
- Parents\/wh\u0101nau are not required to be in the pool with children. <\/li>
- Please let the teacher in charge know if you have any questions or concerns.<\/li>
- If a child needs to use the toilet, please show them where it is (these are in the teaching pool area, you will not need to use the public toilets), send the child in, and wait outside. <\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
Many thanks for your help with swimming this year!<\/b><\/p>
<\/b>Please email your child\u2019s teacher if you have any questions. <\/b><\/p>

Sunhats and Sunscreen<\/b><\/h2>
A friendly reminder that term 4 is a hats term, children are required to wear a hat when going outside. If they don't have a hat, they will need to stay in the shade by Tahaki building or the hall during playtime. Your child can bring their own sunscreen to school if they wish, please ensure that this stays in their bag during the day and your child takes responsibility for looking after it.<\/p>
<\/p>Maths- A Focus on Fractions <\/b><\/h2>
Sarah's Homegroup has been learning about fractions, what they mean and what the symbols look like. The children then made a fractions robot in each group, they were super engaged and keen to make their robot look unique. What a cool activity!<\/p>
