Kia ora koutou parents and caregivers,
Wow - we all looked very flash this morning in our mufti. Thanks for those of you who have contributed to fund-raising for Oxfam. Miss Allchurch is a member of this team and will be walking 100km in the last weekend of March. We are sure we will hear lots more about this in the coming weeks! This week we are really excited to welcome Jack, Cory and Lexie to our learning community! We know you will have a wonderful time at school. We had a group of visitors from the Cat's Pyjamas visit us on Wednesday morning, and we are looking forward to seeing these children when they start school. Official opening ceremony Next Friday we will celebrate the official opening of our new block. Yesterday we sent home words to the waiata we will be singing at the ceremony. We have also made a blog post about this waiata, so do check under the 'our blog' tab. Powerful connections meeting It was lovely to meet so many of you on Tuesday evening, and we thank you for taking the time to come and meet with us. We have made an entry on our blog about this meeting (under the 'our blog' tab). In response to a question raised at the meeting, we have added another page to this website 'your questions'. These questions were raised at the meeting, and we are working our way through our responses. If your question has not been answered yet, we will get to it soon. We have included a form for you to ask any other questions you may have. If you wish to respond to a particular question, please use the comment function. On Thursday and Friday we have also sent home paper copies of the handouts given out on Tuesday evening. If you have not received a paper copy please see your child's pod teacher. Electronic copies of these handouts are included in the blog post mentioned above. We've just realised that we've forgotten to hand out Seesaw information for parents! Oops! This will come home on Monday. Swimming We will continue to swim for another week or two, depending on the weather. We have noticed a huge improvement in water confidence over the time we have been swimming. Thank you to you all for labelling clothing and togs - our lost property bin is not that full! We will spread out any unclaimed items tomorrow at the end of the day. Headlice A reminder to please check your child's hair, and continue to do so regularly. The chemist (or Dr Google) can advise you on treatment. If your child has long hair please ensure it is tied back securely. Have a fantastic weekend - see you all Monday! Thelma, Nicole, Jo, Christina, Louise & Natalie kowhai@westmelton,school.nz
