Welcome back everybody it is so lovely to see you all again and to meet new faces.
An extra special welcome to all of our new students Oscar, Kaiden, Laila, Isabelle, Hugo, Archie, Sebastian, Clara, Jaxon, Charli, Himari, Kate, Jake, Carlos, Connor and Sophia. We hope you have an amazing time in Kōwhai. We are super lucky to have Ms Ally Colton all the way from America here in Kōwhai to teach with us for Term 1. She is working alongside Sonja to learn all about the New Zealand Curriculum and how New Zealand schools function. Please make her feel welcome! Swimming Our swimming days this term are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please make sure the children have all of their things named and in a separate swimming bag. While you are checking if everything is named can you please have a look for Carlos' shorts. They went missing after swimming on Wednesday and may have ended up in someone else's bag by mistake. Library We will be going to the Library on a Tuesday now, please make sure any library books are in the reading packets on a Tuesday ready to be returned. Literacy We are beginning to start our Literacy Programme next week. We will be sorting children into groups and looking at how we can best meet their needs. Powerful Connections This takes over from Meet the Teacher. This year it will be held on in Kōwhai Wednesday the 19th of February over two sessions. The first session is 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm and the second is 5:15 pm - 6:15 pm. We will be discussing how our programme works and our daily timetable - similar to our New Entrant Presentation. All About Me Next week we are focusing on 'All About Me' on Friday we would really love all children to bring along a bag with 3 things that are special to them (for example favourite book, toy, photos of special places etc). These will go home again on Friday. To make our classroom feel like a home we would really love you to send a framed photo of your child so that we can display it on our mantlepieces for the year. If you do not have a frame we have a few spares in Kōwhai. These will get returned at the end of the year. Duathlon We are sending out a notice today all about our Junior Duathlon. Please have a look and return the notice if you are available to help. Keep Monday 2nd of March free so you can come along and cheer on your little athletes! Book Club Keep an eye out for the Lucky Book Club that came out today. If you are wanting to purchase from this you can return it to the office or order on line. All of the details will be on the form. Wow, that was a long KIT notice! These come out every fortnight so make sure you take the time to read them because they contain lots of great information about what is coming up! Have a great weekend Nicole, Sonja, Thelma and Jo [email protected]
