Kia ora and welcome to this week's newsletter. It is hard to believe that it is already May. The year seems to be speeding by.
Our Inquiry entitled ' Changes in my World' is going well in each of the classrooms. The students in rooms 5 and 6 were excited about their trip to Zealandia last week. Thank you to those adults who accompanied them. Room 3 were lucky to observe the bathing of Joshua's new baby. Thank you Erica for bringing him in along with all the necessary equipment.
Thank you very much also to those adults who began the 'Hooked on Books' programme last week. You are doing a fabulous job and your efforts are greatly appreciated. The hotdogs went down well too. Thank you to those adults who are giving up their time to do this also.
Cross Country
The children are doing well with their Cross Country practice runs on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The Year 2 children will be walking around the track during the next few weeks. Could the parents of Year 0 and 1 children in rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 take their child to Williams Park for a practice after school or during weekends before the actual event so that they are familiar with the area. Further details regarding the organisation of the Cross Country will be coming out shortly. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Mikaela Cody in Room 2 or your child's teacher.
Information Workshops
Over the next few weeks I will be running some information sessions for parents and caregivers. They will be on Thursday afternoons from 1.40 p.m. to 2.40 p.m. in the school library and repeated again the same evening from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in room 3. If you have ever wondered how your child learns to read and write and or do mathematics then this is your opportunity to ask questions and find out. I will also discuss some ways in which you can support your child's learning at home.
The dates are as follows Workshop 1 - Thursday May 13th - Mathematics
Workshop 2 - Thursday May 27th - Reading
Workshop 3 - Thursday June 3rd - Writing
Please email me to let me know which sessions you will be attending.
'Starting School at Five' Information Evening
This evening for parents and caregivers of pre-schoolers will be held in the staffroom on Wednesday June 2nd at 7 p.m. All welcome.
Full School Assembly
On Friday May 7th we will be having our usual full School Assembly in the hall at 1.30 p.m. Please feel free to come along and join us. Seating is reserved along the back of the hall for you.
Have another great week!
Kind regards
