Kia ora koutou, Kōwhai whānau,
Wow - that was a crazy short week! At this rate it will be the end of the year before we know it. This week's K.I.T. notice is short and sweet - just like the week! 2019 organisation On Monday our teachers will be meeting in their 2019 teaching groups to start planning and preparing for 2019. You will find details about school organisation for 2019 in the whole school K.I.T. notice that was emailed out today. We can confirm that the 2019 Kōwhai teaching team will be Mrs Herring, Mrs Beaumont, Mrs Buckenham, Mrs Cider and Mrs Neal (job share with Mrs Cider). Mrs Sands will be moving to Mānuka with most of this year's Kōwhai children - it will be lovely for her (and them!) to have some familiar faces, and some continuity of programme. We have begun to talk about next year with the children, reinforcing the idea that they have all grown and learnt a lot this year, and that they are ready for new challenges with new teachers. Later in the term there will be an opportunity for all children to visit their 2019 learning community. A reminder that children are not expected at school on Monday as it is Teacher's Only Day. Lost property Earlier this week we 'displayed' lost property from our classroom bin for children / parents to collect. After a good airing this was gathered again, and has been placed in the school lost property bin. If you are missing any clothing please check the green bin in the Tī Kōuka block (the red brick building in front of Kōwhai). New Entrant parent meeting Next Thursday morning we are hosting our New Entrant parent information meeting. This will be held first thing in the morning, and the Kōwhai children will have Fab Five during this time. The Kōwhai teachers will be unavailable before school, as they will be preparing for the meeting. If you have, or know of, any children who are due to start at West Melton school at the beginning of 2019, or in the first term of school, who have not received any information about this meeting, please contact Mrs Herring - thelma. [email protected] Kōwhai / Mānuka Athletics fun day On Friday 23 November we will be hosting a team from Sport Canterbury who will be leading an extra special Athletics day for the Kōwhai and Mānuka teams. Any decision to postpone will be made by 7am on the day, and communicated via the school Facebook page, and an email to parents. Children will come to school in their school uniform, and will need to wear appropriate footwear for participating in athletics. If it is cold, they may need extra layers. Please ensure your child also has their sunhat, sunscreen, a drink bottle, and a slightly larger-than-usual morning tea and lunch. Parents and whanau are welcome to watch any of the events, and are invited to join us for a bring-your-own picnic lunch at 12.30. You will find details of events and rotations here. Enjoy your long weekend. See you all Tuesday! Kia pai tō mutunga wiki! Thelma, Sonja, Jo, Lisa, Rachel, Christina kowhai@westmelton,school.nz
