Kia Ora Whanau!
It’s been a cold week! We had some of our Tamariki arrive to school without socks and jackets on some of the coldest days yet. Please make sure your child has what they need to keep them warm and comfortable as we do spend parts of our day outside and a warm child is a happy child.
Readers - Please Note
We do not always read a new book/reader with your child each day. Sometimes we revisit the same text to explore it more in depth. Reading is not about plowing through a book from start to finish. There are many new strategies that need to be learnt and practiced as well as gaining fluency and expression. If you would like to help your child at home please see the latest HERO post on your child’s page.
Teacher Only Day
Friday 4th of June is a Teacher Only Day. School is open only to teachers.
Queens Birthday
Monday 7th of June is Queen's Birthday. School is closed.
Luma Lights

If your schedule allows please do take your child down as T1 and T2 created some beautiful installations to contribute to this. Please see the link below for more details.
Kiwi Birdlife Park - Friday 18th of June
A reminder to fill in the permission slip and make payment for your child to attend the Kiwi Birdlife Park. See link below…
The New Build
We are edging closer to moving into the new space. The Junior Team Teachers had their first walk through this week and we got pretty excited about what is to come. The aim is to be all moved in by the start of Term 3. We will be sending out an email closer to the holidays as we will be looking for bits and pieces you may have at home to help us make the space epic.
Parent/Teacher Connects
Very shortly you will be able to book a time to meet with both of us to connect and catch up regarding your child’s development and progress at school. We have set aside days in both weeks 9 and 10. These interview times will be for 15 minutes.
Please note: If you have questions or concerns we are always available to meet at another time.
