Welcome back to a busy term 3! It has been so wonderful seeing our lovely tamariki (children) back at school with an eagerness to learn and bright smiling faces! <\/p>

We would like to welcome Jordan into our K\u014dwhai team, who will be teaching Rowe's class on Monday to Thursday's, for the remainder of Term 3. We are so excited to have him as a part of the team, and we know you will all make him feel welcome. Jordan will start on Monday of next week (Week 3). <\/p>

Ferrymead:<\/b><\/p>

On Week 9 of last term, our K\u014dwhai hub went on an amazing outing to the Ferrymead Heritage park. Our tamariki had the chance to experience how different everyday things have changed over time, dressing up in outfits from the past, experiencing what a classroom was like, walking through an \"olden days\" shop, and having a tour around the different areas of the Ferrymead Heritage Park. This was such a fantastic experience! Have a look at some of the photos below:<\/p>

<\/div>
Illnesses:<\/b><\/div>
A post was made on Hero about illnesses around the school, and we just wanted to reiterate, if your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. If your child has vomited, please keep them home for 48 hours from the last time they vomited. Gastro bugs can be very infectious and can spread quickly through a school if children are sent back too early. Thanks for your support with this and helping to minimise the spread of bugs as much as possible.<\/div>

<\/div>
Library Times:<\/b><\/div>
Just a reminder of our Library times:<\/div>
Monday - Hazel and Jordan's Literacy Groups<\/div>
Tuesday - Anna M's and Georgia's Literacy Groups<\/div>
Wednesday - Anna R's Literacy Group<\/div>

<\/div>
Head Lice:<\/b><\/div>
Just a heads up that we have had a case of head lice in the hub, so please be vigilant of any scratchy heads! If your child has long hair, we recommend that they have their hair tied up to prevent the spread of head lice. Thank you!<\/div>

<\/div>
Nut Free:<\/b><\/div>
Just a reminder that our hub is completely nut free. Thank you for your support by not putting nut and nut-based products in your child's lunch. (Nut-based products include items like Nutella, Peanut Butter, Muesli bars containing nuts etc.)<\/div>
