Kia ora koutou Kowhai parents and caregivers!
We hope you've had a great weekend, and are enjoying the sunshine as much as we are! A big welcome to school to Leo, who joined the Kowhai Community this week. We hope you have a great time at school! We've had a great week at school. The Cat's Pyjamas children came for a visit on Wednesday afternoon, and we all enjoyed catching up with our old friends and teachers. Today was Jump Jam 4 Star Jam and the children looked great in their mufti - thanks for your support! And to cap it off - Brooke and Clay were lucky enough to have their bus tickets drawn out in this morning's Celebration of Learning! Yay! Wood and other treasures Now that the weather is warming up, our wood work table is being used more regularly! If you have access to any (untreated) off-cuts of soft wood, we would love some for our 'creations'! Or if you have any boxes (cereal, muesli bars etc) that we could use for inside 'creations', please send them along to school. Parent help We'd love some help in our learning community, please! If you're free on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning at any time between 8.50 - 11.00, please let your child's pod teacher know. No prior experience or special skills required (but we'll make use of them if you tell us you have them!). We'll get you busy reading with children, writing with children, playing literacy games or completing activities related to reading or writing. If you'd prefer to not work with your own child, we can even cater for that! Seesaw Teachers in the Kowhai Community use Seesaw to share snapshots of your child's day and learning. Each child has his or her own online learning journal, and you can receive notifications when new items are added to your child's journal. Many of you have already signed up to Seesaw, and the children love sharing their learning with you, and receiving your feedback and 'likes'. If you would like to sign up to Seesaw so you can access your child's journal, please visit https://app.seesaw.me/s/104-816-398 to sign up. The sign up process is very easy (you will need to wait for a Kowhai teacher to approve your sign up), and once you have signed up you can choose to download the iPhone or Android app for your phone. FoWMS Disco Tonight the Friends of West Melton School are hosting a disco in the Wharenui from 5.00 - 6.30. It's been a while since we've had a disco (our wharenui has been in use as a classroom while our new spaces were being built), and we are all looking forward to a good boogie! The children have been practising their dance moves and we look forward to seeing them all there. Permission slips have been sent home, but there will be more available tonight at the door. Lost sweatshirts, socks, containers... We've heard a few stories this week about missing clothes! If you're missing anything (school related!), feel free to comment below with the details, and we'll see if we can organise a 'reunion' of sorts! Happy holidays to Tegan and Riley - we hope you have a wonderful time on your overseas adventures, and we look forward to seeing lots of photos! Have an awesome weekend! Enjoy your sleep-in, rugby parents - the football, hockey and gym parents are all slightly envious. ;o) Thelma, Nicole, Jo, Christina, Louise & Natalie kowhai@westmelton,school.nz

Jack Kime is missing a sweat shirt and polar fleece vest with his name in both of them. If anyone has accidently taken these home or found them we would really appreciate them back. Thanks!
