Week 7 Notices

Swimming:

Don’t forget this week we have swimming. We are very lucky to have a swimming pool at school and like to see all the children in the pool every day, so please remember togs and towels every day. The children love swimming and have made great progress in the pool. This week we will be practising floating on our back and floating on our front.

St Joseph Mass:

This Friday we will be heading to the church at 8.45am, so please make sure you have plenty of time to get morning jobs done before we need to head to the church.

Morning Jobs:

Please remember parents it is important for the children to carry their own school bags, mark their roll and put their Bookbag in the right box on their own.  It is great to see our tamariki becoming more independent each day.

Lent:

Tomorrow we will be sending some paper hearts home with the children. If they do something kind at home please help them write it on their heart then bring it back to school so we can make a kindness Lenten tree.

Pita Pit Fundraiser

Thank you to all those who supported the Pita Pit fundraiser. It was very successful for the school. It was great to see so many children enjoying a healthy lunch :-)

Hand Washing:

This week we for writing we will be doing a science experiment. The experiment will show children the importance of using soap when washing their hands. We will also look at the correct way to cough, sneeze and blow our nose. Please remember if your child is sick to keep them at home to avoid spreading bugs.

From the Prime Ministers speech at the weekend we will continue to remind our children of good hygiene practice:

Wash your hands

Dry your hands properly

If you sneeze, do it into your elbow

We will also be cleaning down our surfaces at least once a day such as tables, door handles etc.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
