Kia ora Kowhai parents and caregivers,
This week we welcomed Jack K to our community. We hope you have a great time in the Kowhai Community Jack! We had lots of fun wearing our Hi-viz clothing today, thank you all for supporting Road Safety Week. Cross Country Congratulations to all of our Kowhai Kids who participated in the Cross Country on Tuesday. Children had a great time trying their best and cheering on their friends. Well done to the following children who placed first, second and third in their races: Group 5A Y2 Boys - Luke H, Evan, Sam F Group 5A Y2 Girls - Chane, Neve, Sia Group 7A NE/Y1 Boys - Max W, Robbie, Max C Group 7A NE/Y1 Girls - Millie, Luci, Indy Group 8A NE/Y1 Boys - Charlie S, Riva, Cameron Group 8B NE - Y1 Girls - Tayla, Paige, Chloe Sandpit It has been awesome to see how much enjoyment the children are getting from our new sandpit. It seems it is so exciting that children want to keep playing in it after school. If any of your children (including their brothers or sisters) are playing in the sandpit after school hours please put sandpit toys away again on the shelves by the stairs. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this. Start of School Day Please remember that children are not allowed in the community before 8.20am. Teachers use the time before this to prepare for the school day and may not be in the Kowhai community space to supervise children. Parent Help We are looking for some lovely volunteers to take our Early Words programme. This programme helps children to build up a bank of high frequency sight words. We will train you in how the programme works before you start working with children. If you are able to help with this please let your child’s pod teacher know. Thelma, Louise and Natalie would also love some more parent helpers at literacy and numeracy time. If you are able to help out please let one of them know. Inquiry In our inquiry time this week we have continued to look at creativity and innovation. You might like to ask your child about the videos we watched “Ormie the Pig” and “Snowman in a Globe”. They were quite a hit! In the videos characters used innovative ideas to solve their problems. Parent information sessions A reminder of the upcoming evening information sessions. On May 17 it is our Intermediate Open Evening, and on May 23 there is a session about supporting your child in reading and writing. Other sessions this term include Digital Citizenship and maths. Please check with the office if you have not received email information about the Literacy evening. Lost Tegan is missing her new plain navy sweatshirt. Please have a look in your child's bag to check it hasn't come home to your house! Thank you to everyone who looked for Frazer’s sweatshirt, it has been found! Have a lovely weekend; we'll see you all next week! Thelma, Nicole, Jo, Christina, Louise & Natalie

Thank you for the wonderful "I love you more than.... " cards. It was a great idea. Riley just could not wait to give it to me.
