Kia Ora All,
This term is absolutely flying by and jam packed with a bunch of different activities. Here are a few reminders about what's coming up.
- On Wednesday the 9th of December the whole school will be doing a marae visit. A note went home about this on the 4th of November. All students in the school will attend for the day, but only year 5 and 6 students will stay the night. This is due to maximum numbers allowed for sleeping over.
- On Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, all students from rooms 1 and 2 will combine for some outdoor activities. On the notice that was sent out of the 4th was a form asking for parent volunteers to help out on those two days. We'll need drivers and people to help out with biking, kayaking activities etc. Please let me know if you are able to help out as we are still a few helpers short.
- Sunhats are of critical importance this term as is sunblock. We have sunblock at school, but putting some on before school is recommended. Please send along alternative sunblock if your child is allergic to the regular kind.
- A reminder that any rubbish from lunchboxes should be going home (muesli bar wrappers etc). I'm planning on enforcing this a bit better because I've been a bit slack recently.
- Please don't send chewing gum or lollies to school with your child. Lollies and gum aren't appropriate for school and, in my experience, rarely helps with children's learning. There has been a bit of a chewing gum spate recently.
- School athletics day is Tuesday (tomorrow) starting at 12.30.
- We'll check homework on Tuesday this week. Book bags and homework books to school daily please.
- This class is a truely excellent bunch of kids and I am thoroughly enjoying all of them. Keep up the great work, parents and caregivers!
Rock On,
Mr M
