Kia ora koutou, Kōwhai whanau!
What a great way to end our week with the walk-a-thon this morning. We were so happy that the weather held out and the children all tried their best. We were all grateful for the lemonade ice-block at the end and wish to thank the FoWMS for this fantastic event that supports our school. An extra special Kōwhai welcome to George who started school this week. We hope you an awesome time in the Kōwhai Community, George! Spelling books - A friendly reminder It has been fantastic seeing so many children use their spelling books to practise the letter sound for the day. If you could help them think of three pictures that they could draw to show the sound and practise the formation of the letter that would help reinforce their learning for the day. Community meetings Tuesday 27 March, 7.00 - 8.30 Reading and writing information evening Discovery Friday Today we enjoyed singing some songs about walking after participating in the walk-a-thon. Walk-a-thon The children have their walk-a-thon card in their reading packet so that you know how many laps they completed to enable you to collect their sponsorship money. As a school we are focussing on respect and specifically good manners, using the acronym of STEPS. You may also find this useful at home. Smile Thank you Excuse me Please Sorry Lunchtime Opportunities During term 2, the school provides lunchtime opportunities for learner's eg, chess, card-making, scrap booking, sport, games, etc. If you have a particular skill, talent or interest that you would like to share, please let us know when you'd be available. Remember that next week is a short week due to Easter, and don't forget that school will also be closed on the Tuesday 3 April. We hope you have a great weekend, and we'll see you all Monday! Kia pai tō mutunga wiki, Thelma, Sonja, Jo & Christina kowhai@westmelton,school.nz

Sorry, we've just seen your comment now. 'Easter Tuesday' is a school 'thing', and has been for the last 20 years at least. Usually Easter falls within the school holidays, so it's not been as 'noticeable'. We're sorry you weren't aware of this - it has been notified from the school since the beginning of the year (as Shar has pointed out previously) in the school newsletters.
