Week 9
Kia Ora Kākano Whanau
We hope everyone has had a nice relaxing weekend.
We have noticed the children are getting very tired as we get closer to the end of the term. They need to get a good night's sleep so they are ready to learn.
Thank you to the families that bring in spreads for the children to have toast in the mornings. This has become a very social area and a nice way for the children to settle into their day. The children are open to trying a range of different types of bread and spreads. They love to talk to others about how they taste and look. The children definitely have their favourite spreads, especially peanut butter. At the moment, we have lots of honey but could do with other spreads.
Last week the teachers completed all the children's reading testing. Many children have made progress and moved up levels. It is important to read every night, even over the weekend. The teachers leave the books the children have read in their book bags until Monday, so they have the opportunity to reread the books several times throughout the week. The more reading the children do, the easier it is for them to reach their goals and move reading levels.
Tomorrow school photos will be taken. All children need to be in the correct school uniform. This includes the knitted jersey. The girls need their hair tied up, with school coloured hair ties.
Over the school holidays, the teachers want to create a new family area that looks like our homes. We are going to start with a new kitchen area for the children to play with. If you have anything good to use in this area that you no longer want at home, please feel free to bring it in. We have a kitchen sink, stove, and microwave. We would love cutlery, plates, cups, pots, pans, bowls, etc.
Our RE leaders are running their annual art competition. Please see below for details.
