Term 3, Week 1

Hi Folks,

Welcome back to you all.  I hope the break was good to everyone.

Matariki Celebration - There is information about this on our Facebook page.  You child will also have a notice in their bag about it. Here's what was on facebook incase you don't have an account there.

A reminder that the Matariki Family Breakfast is on Tuesday 24th in the school hall from 7am. Come in your pyjamas, (bring school uniform to change into). BYO breakfast. Toasters, tea, coffee and milo provided. Hopefully it will be a clear morning and we can see the stars and the planets that are in the sky. Ed Diver will be our resource person and share his passion for the skies. Thank you, Ed. This event was suggested at the whanau hui last year.
If anyone has a toaster that they could bring we would be most appreciative. Helpers needed for setting up at 6:45ish. Please let Chris know if you are available. Our PTA is extremely busy with the cookbook at the moment - let's share the load👍

This term we will have swimming on a Thursday afternoon.  On these days it is important that your child brings their swimming gear with them to school.  I'll do my best to send out a see-saw reminder, but it might be a good idea to calendar a reminder for the Thursdays in this term.

We have 2 catch up golf sessions next week - Monday and Tuesday mornings.  Please have your child wear their PE uniform on these days.   We will also be doing Gymnastics during the term and one other sporting activity yet to be concreted in.  I'll post more details regarding this as I have them.

Homework this term is the expected reading, spelling and tables practice.

A reminder to parents that Slime isn't allowed in Room 5 as it tends to be a distraction and makes a mess.  Please encourage your children to be playing with this at home rather than at school.

I'm looking forward to seeing the children tomorrow - I love to see how much growing has happened in the holidays!

Have a great week everyone,

Mrs Lyon.
