Week Two Notices

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to Week Two!
The children have had a great start to the week and are settling into school life.

Here are some notices for the week:

Milk:
Arahoe School is provided with milk from Fonterra. Each morning a milk bar is set up in the Room 20/19 foyer. Please help yourself to milk and sit with your child as they drink it.  The milk cartons are actually recycled and there is a specific folding procedure which we can teach you.  The cartons are sent overseas to be used as roofing tiles!


2pm finish:
This week all the children in Room 20 will finish at 2pm, as is usual for our New Entrants in their first week of school. We ask that you wait outside so that we can dismiss them safely after our goodbye song and end of day routines.


Book Bags:
The children will be going home with their book bags on Wednesday. Please return the children's book bags the next morning in the labelled container.  You can find notices in their book bags as well as any work they have taken home to show you.  You can keep all completed work at home.  Children keep their exercise books at school.


Mrs Turner and Mrs Young:
In Room 20 we have Mrs Turner working along side Miss Ellis for the next few weeks. Once the children have settled into school life Mrs Turner will take a selection of children into Room 19.  This week Mrs Young is also supporting our New Entrants by being in Room 20 for the first part of the day.


Swimming:
Swimming will be starting in week four.  Please name all clothes, especially togs, shirts and shorts as the children will get changed in the dressing room.  We would love 2 helpers to come and support our class during swimming.  If your child is unable to dress or undress independently, the next few weeks would be a great time to practice this skill so they can get the most out of their swimming sessions.


Have a great day!

Miss Sarah Ellis and Mrs Dana Turner.
