Kia Ora,
A big welcome to the Kōwhai Community, to Thea who joined us this week. Matariki - Kowhai Community Breakfast Thank you, so much to everybody who was able to attend our community breakfast last week. This was a huge success and it was great that so many parents (whanau) were able to attend. We appreciated you making the time to come and spend time with us. As a result of this success we are thinking about holding another breakfast later in the year. Teddy Bears Picnic - Wow, what an awesome way for the children and teachers to spend the last day of term. We have shared teddy bear rhymes and put one into their poetry book. We also spent time learning facts about "real" bears; be sure and ask your child(ren) what they learned about bears. I wonder if they'll remember about the "Spectacle Bear". They also had an art lesson on drawing teddy bears/toys and then they got to paint them. We will display these on the wall, ready for Term 3. As well as the above, the children got to make and share fairy bread with their teddy/toy. This was an opportunity to extend their maths knowledge in relation to fractions where we have been talking about halves and quarters this week. Polar Fleece - Size XS If your child is missing a polar fleece, we have a brand new (un-named), sixe XS one in Kowhai that nobody has claimed, yet. If you think this is your child's, please come and ask one of the teachers to get it for you, from our storage space. There are also a few children who are missing their tops so if you could please use the holidays to check the names on your children's clothing and make sure you have the correct ones at home. Term 3 Mihi Whakatau - Friday 26 July at 10.30am If your child started school during Term 2, please keep this date free, as you will be invited to attend this event, where we welcome you as a whanau to our school. It starts at 10.30am and is followed by kai (food) in the Rauhi space (staffroom).
