I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend.

We currently have some nasty bugs doing the rounds within our school community, both flu and tummy bug, which seem to be very easily passed on.

Tummy Bug - A reminder to please keep your child home for at least 48hrs after the LAST bout of vomiting or diarrhea - this ensures that your child is away while they are most contagious and helps keep other students and staff safe from the bugs. 

If your child is going to be away from school please email or call the office, or use the absence tab on Skool Loop giving the reason they are away. This needs to be done each day they are absent.

Many thanks

Kia ora Kawakawa whanau,

We have some exciting events this week, the Cross Country on Thursday, and Pink Shirt Day and  the Disco on Friday. Remember to wear pink to school on Friday. We will be focusing on showing kindness all week. There is also basketball again on Tuesday. Please look out on see-saw for the cross country goals that everyone sets for themselves. At this stage, if the day is okay weather wise, then we will walk down with all of the school and be there for all of the cross country.  The class are running in the last 2 races of the day.  If the day is not so good weather wise,  then we will stay at school to keep warm and walk down closer to our race times.  

Year 3 race 1.50pm

Year 4 race 2.10pm

You can preorder a sausage for your child.  Put their name on an envelope with money for the sausage inside.  We have an icecream container in our classroom for it to go in.  There are also sales for these on the day for anyone who wants one.

In writing we are writing an autobiography about ourselves.   In maths the Year 3s are continuing with addition written methods.  The Year 4s are finishing learning about volume and capacity and will also be learning about perimeter.  In our science topic work we will be finishing our work on sound and starting to learn about forces and movement.

Have a fabulous week,

Ngā mihi nui,

Julia
