Week 9 Notices

This week is a very busy week for our children.  Please read through the following information carefully to make sure you are aware of what is happening in Kakano.

 

School Production: Peter Pan

Wednesday 1:00pm and 6:30pm.

For the evening show children will need to be dropped off no later than 6:00 at their classroom.  The teachers will help them to get dressed in their costumes.  Children are to be collected by their parents from the classroom and the conclusion of the show.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact your child’s teacher.

We have released some more tickets for the show, you can purchase these from the school office for $5.

 

Student Led Celebrations: Thursday 10th December

This Thursday between 8:00am and 10:00am you are able to visit your child’s classroom to celebrate the wonderful learning they have been a part of this year.  During this time you will get to see what your child has achieved over the year as well as chat with the teacher about how you can continue to support your child over the summer holidays. A friendly reminder that this is just a quick chat, as the teacher will need to talk to many parents over this two hour block.

• School sun hat.

• Water bottle.

• A small morning tea to eat.

• GOLD COIN for our fish and chip lunch

Please note that we will NOT be having a shared lunch. The only food children will need to bring that day is their usual morning tea. The teachers will collect the gold coins and go to the fish and chip shop before lunch. Thank you for bringing in the gold coin before Friday. NO SAUSAGE SIZZLE orders on this day.

Readers:

Your child will not be coming home with readers this week.  The teachers will provide poems and other small readers that you can use as reading with your child.  There are great resources for young readers at the public library.  The summer break would be the perfect opportunity for you and your child to visit.  If you have any readers at home please return these to school immediately.

Library Books:

The children have all received library books to read over the holidays.  Please look after these and return them to school next year.  All children will receive a Holiday Reading Log this week and will be able to start adding books they are reading and books being read to them.

Food Bank:

We are collecting food donations for the St Vincent de Paul food bank.  If you are able to spare something for a family in need please send it to school with your child.  They can place it under the tree in the school office or they can give it to their class teacher.

School Magazine:

We are publishing a school magazine again this year and this will be available during the last week of this term. At this stage there will only be 100 magazines printed. It will be a great memento of 2020. We sold out last year. Orders can be placed at the school office with the cost for the magazine being $10.00

Swimming:

Kakano 4, 7 and 8 will be swimming this week.  Please make sure your child has their togs with them each day.  If your child is unable to swim you need to notify the class teacher.   Please note with the school production taking place this week it may not be possible for each class to swim daily.

Thank you for your support, 

Kakano 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Teachers
