Thank you to everyone who has been applying sun cream<\/b> before school, we are reapplying before the children go out to Big Play. A reminder that all children need a sun hat<\/b> every day! If a child does not have a sun hat, they need to play in the shade of the Hall verandah at break times.<\/p>

It is hard to believe we are nearly at the end of our school year! We will be beginning to tidy and sort our toys and resources in preparation for next year. You might even notice our walls will be getting bare as we take the children's work off so they can take it home. <\/p>

Returning books<\/b><\/p>

We are collecting back all Literacy reading books from Literacy folders, these need to be brought back to any teacher in Koru. Please have a look around home and bring back all reading books to school for our end of year stocktake. You are welcome to keep your Heart Words and sound packs of cards to keey using at home. All Library books need to be brought back to school too. <\/p>

Transition Visits<\/b><\/p>

We have been getting to meet and get to know the children who will be starting in Koru next year, as they have their school visits this week. It is wonderful to see how our Koru tamariki are showing all our school values to make our visitors feel welcome and to show them a fun time at school. 'We Make A Difference'. Our Koru children are also having a couple of visits to look around the Kahikatea Hub and see where they might be next year.<\/p>
