Kia ora Whānau,
It has been lovely getting to know all the children this week and to begin our routines. We had a whole school discovery day on Friday - your child probably had some lovely treasures that they brought home to show you! We have also been finishing off our self-portraits and these should be soon up on the wall for everyone to enjoy and to further brighten up the classroom.
Reading: We have spent last week listening to the children read and introducing the reading routines. From next week your child will be bringing home reading books every day. Whilst we try to ensure that they pack their reading folder at the end of the day it might be a good time to get into the routine of checking it is in their school bag at the end of the day. Instructions for 'Reading at Home' are in front of the notebook. The reading folder gets put into their book box at the beginning of each day. Any questions please ask.
Puzzles: If anyone has any spare puzzles at home that are no longer being used we would love to receive them! The children are really enjoying doing puzzles and word games in the literacy time.
Reminders:
Stationery: Some children have not yet got all their stationery. Please make sure that your child has got everything including a poetry book and a notebook.
Library Day is every Thursday. Return library books from the previous week to the slot on the desk in the classroom.
Poetry: A new poem is read every day with the children. The poem is glued into their poetry book every Friday and the book comes home for the weekend. Please take some time to enjoy this week's new poem and to reread the poems from the previous week. Poetry books are to be returned to the Poetry Box every Monday.
Rubbish: We are finding it very difficult to keep the cloak bay area tidy and free of rubbish. On Friday, as well as a lot of rubbish, we found several plastic bags that children have had in their lunchbox lying on the ground. Please help us and the environment by using labelled containers instead of gladwrap bags to put snacks in. 😀
- Wide-brimmed sun hats are compulsory for all students.
- Please send a full drink bottle of water each day.
- Whānau Picnic 5.30p.m Week 3, Thursday 20th February.
- Our first Timatanga assembly will not be until Week 4 (28th Feb)this term (fortnightly on even weeks).

As always please come in and have a chat with us if you have any queries or concerns.
Sarah, Wendy and Anna
