Wow, it's hard to believe that it is the end of week 6 today, the term is flying by very quickly!
Welcome Since our last KIT note we have welcomed Finn, Ethan, Kora and their whanau to Kowhai. We are really happy to have you as part of our community. Athletics This afternoon we had our own mini athletics. We hope you enjoyed watching your children participate as much as they enjoyed taking part in all the activities and having lots of fun. Walk-a-thon On Friday 27 November (Postponement date is Monday 30th November), we will be participating in the whole-school walk-a-thon from 11.30-12.30pm. The aim of the walk-a-thon is to raise funds for school reading materials. Your child was sent home with a letter explaining the event and a sponsorship form last week. Show week spectacular This was a great success and we hope that the children shared many of the activities with you eg, the whanau jump jam competition, watching the Kapa Haka, choir and hip-hop groups perform as well as the final of West Melton’s Got Talent. I think a lot of Kowhai children will be prepared to take part next year. Lastly, the main event; Pet Day. It was awesome to see so many parents and extended whanau come along to this event. Thank you, for your support in making sure that your child(ren) had entries in some of the creative sections. We were very impressed with the quality of their work. Missing Items Unfortunately, we continue to have a few wee magpies in our classroom that like to take shiny things. Can you please keep an eye on your child’s bag to see if any extra things appear and return them to Kowhai! Thanks for your help with this! Sergeant Neal popped in today to have a chat with the children about making sure they are doing the right thing at the right time to help alleviate this situation. Linked to this, can you please also ensure that your child(ren) is not bringing toys, jewellery etc to school as it is very upsetting when they get lost (or even taken), or broken. We wish good luck to all the children who are performing in the ballet, Alice and Wonderland this weekend especially Holly and Poppy who have a soloist role. Lastly, we wish Mrs B good luck for her event at the Queenstown marathon. I believe she is in the new hybrid walk/run event. If you’re going down there and you see her, you’ll be able to ask her about it. Take care everyone, thank you, for your ongoing support and have an awesome weekend!
