End of Term Reminders

Matariki Soup

We are celebrating Matariki tomorrow with homemade soup, bread rolls, steamed pudding, custard and fruit salad.  All the food has been made by the children this week at school.  Please remember to give your child a gold coin (this covers the cost of ingredients the teachers have bought), a bowl and a spoon.

Cross Country

We are having our Cross Country race tomorrow.  Please ensure your child has shoes and clothes to run in.  If your child has the school PE gear they can wear that, otherwise, any running clothes will be great.  The children will be running in age groups starting with the 5-year-old girls at 11:45.  If you can help out with marshalling please pop in tomorrow between 11:15 and 11:30.

Holiday activities

I have prepared a few things you can do with your child at home over the school holidays.  Each child will get information on how to log in to Sunshine Classics.  This is an online reading library with activities for the children to complete.  The children will also have a few extra readers in their book bags you can read with them over the break.  I can not stress the importance of keeping regular reading habits during the holiday break.  Remember you can read to your child or they can read to you.  The more we read the better we get.

Winter bugs

We have had many children away over the past few days.  Please keep them at home if your child is unwell with winter bugs such as snotty noses, chesty coughs or high temperatures.  We need to make sure cold and flu symptoms are not spread through the class.

Thursday is our last day of school!  Friday is a Teacher Only Day.  I wish you all a restful holiday break.  Enjoy spending time with your child.
