Week 4

Hi all,  

We had a busy but fun week last week with lots on. A superb effort from our Kowhanga in the Junior Cross Country.  The children were supportive, encouraging and determined, and all did so well to cross that finish line. We all loved watching our awesome parents competing against each other at the end - great to see. 

This week is another busy week with our Marae trip on Tuesday. We will be leaving at 9.30am and returning just before lunch. Big thanks to those parents who have offered to join us. 

We are trialling lunchtime scooter fun at school and children are welcome to bring scooters, skates or skateboards to school to use in a designated area. All children must have a helmet.  At the moment this will be every lunchtime. 

On Friday we will be having a Milo Morning to celebrate coming to school by active travel. We will be especially excited to see the use of the walking pou for children who get dropped at school. More information to come! 

Many thanks for all your help in the class over the last couple of weeks. We are the luckiest class in Alicetown, our pencils have never been sharper! It has been exciting to see children reading confidently with parents between 2.30 and 3pm each day - these extra reading sessions are invaluable for the children. There is a list on the whiteboard in the Room 5 side of our Kowhanga if you ever have a spare 10 minutes. 

We have our school quiz night coming up on the 2nd June. If you are interested and not yet in a team let me know - we could put a class team together.  All in aid of fundraising for our children - a great reason to get together. 

Have a great week!

P.S. If you are yet to join up with Seesaw we would love to talk to you!  A great way to keep up with goings on in the classroom.
