TERM 2 SNEAKY PEEK

Kia ora whanau and friends!
Room 20 is off to a bright start which is no surprise since all the children are Star Kids shining brightly.
Have a sneaky peek of what we have been up to in Room 20 so far.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE

Dear parents and caregivers,
What an amazing term it has been!  Such a beautiful class of awesome children who care for each other and are focused on their learning. Every one has done a 'Star Kid' job of starting school!
I hope you all have a great holiday and we will see you next Term in the Reception block- in Room 19 with Miss Patel or with me in Room 20.

Ka kite,
Miss Sarah Ellis

NOTICES!

Kia ora parents and caregivers.  With only four days of Term 4 left we have been a busy school!
School will finish for the term at 3pm on THURSDAY 2 April.
Term 2 will start again on Monday 20  April.  Most of the children in Room 20 have completed their transition period in the Reception Room.  They will be starting Term 2 in our adjoining learning space called Room 19 with 2 teachers for the remainder of the year.  The children are spending time with one of the teachers, Mrs Jayathri Patel, this week.  A letter will be sent to your home address confirming this during the school holidays.

PARENT INFORMATION EVENING: Wednesday 1 April from 7-8.30 pm at the school hall. You can then visit sessions with teachers who will speak, have discussions or presentations on various areas of interest. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided.

MUFTI DAY: Thursday 2 April is Autism Awareness Day and we encourage children to wear rainbow colours instead of their uniform.  A gold coin donation for Autism NZ from children wearing mufti is required.
Iceblocks will also be available from the hall at lunchtime for $2. Please give money to me in the morning.

ANZAC COMMEMORATION: Arahoe School's Anzac Commemoration will be held near our wall of poppies (front field) at 1pm on Thursday 23 April.

LIBRARY BOOKS AND READERS:  All library books and readers are to be returned to school by Wednesday.

SWIMMING: Swimming will take place this Wednesday.  We will restart swimming in Term 4.

CROSS COUNTRY: Arahoe Cross Country will be held on Thursday 5 May (subject to change). Children will need to wear comfortable running shoes and have a change of clothes in case of any muddy accidents.

THANK YOU: A huge thank you to all the parents, caregivers, whanau and families who have helped Room 20 Star Kids be the independent, friendly,  attentive and energetic learners that they are.  An extra special thank you to those parents who have helped with sharpening pencils, swimming sessions, building activities and reading! It takes a community!

Ka kite ano,

SCHOOL IS NUMBER ONE!

SUPER STAR KIDS!

Kia ora everybody! It has been a busy few weeks as our class has grown and we have been up to so much.
Mrs Young has left us as she gets ready to have her baby. We have had the lovely Mrs Rego join us.

We only have 4 days of school left until Term 1 ends. On Wednesday night we have a parent information evening.  We would love to see you.

Have a look at our photos from the last few weeks!

SUPER LEARNERS!
