Beach Education Trip - Monday

Kia ora,

Thanks to those parents who have offered to come to Riversdale with us on Monday and get wet!! Just a reminder we are leaving at 8.30am SHARP.  We can not wait around for stragglers so please make sure your child is early on Monday morning. Kids are to wear their school uniform. 

The note sent home earlier this week had a full list of what to bring. 

Cheers,
Sarah

Welcome to Kowhai!

Welcome to 2013 in Kowhai. Here we are - our first class photo taken on Friday.

We had a great start to Term 1 with a fun Week 1. I've been really impressed with the work habits and general attitudes of the Kowhai kids. I hope you received your copy of the class newsletter sent home on Tuesday. Look out for a note tomorrow afternoon about our upcoming trip to Riversdale - Monday 11th February. 

Please come and visit us in Kowhai whenever you can!

Kind regards,
Sarah

Last week!

Hi all,

We are into the last week of school for 2012! AMAZING!

A busy one it is set to be too...

- tomorrow Kowhai are having a shared lunch to celebrate the end of our year together. Please send a plate of food along tomorrow morning. We will also be having a swim in the school pool so remember togs too!

- it is the Tararua Disco on Wednesday afternoon from 1.30pm. There will be glow sticks and chips for kids to purchase. Wednesday is also a mufti day for Tararua.

- Thursday is our final assembly. This is held in the St Matthew's Hall at 1pm. All children will be bused there from school but need to be collected from St Matthew's at 2.30pm. 

A reminder: PLEASE RETURN ACHIEVEMENT BOOKS TOMORROW!!!

Look forward to seeing you during the week at some stage.

2 weeks to go!

Hi everyone,

What a wonderful time we had on the Year 5 camp last week - brilliant weather, kids and parents! Below are a couple of photos

We only have 2 more weeks at school for the year after today. Everyone now knows what class they are in next year and have spent 2 hours with their new teacher. Hopefully everyone is happy!

Achievement books are going home next Tuesday afternoon - this time they need to be returned within the week. Enjoy sharing all the hard work your child has done over the year!

Please don't hesitate to come and see me/visit Kowhai anytime :-)

Week 5

Kia ora,

We are half way through the last term for 2012! A scary thought!

We had a fabulous time at Carter Observatory last Thursday - I'm sure your child came back buzzing and tired. Below are some photos of our day:

8 Kowhai kids will be representing Solway at the Interschool Athletics this Wednesday  - we wish Siena, Sarah, Olivia, Malachi, Mack, Jake G, Rose and Beau-Leah the best of luck!

Ka kite,
Sarah

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! We're straight back into it this week - look out for the Kowhai Term 4 newsletter in the school bag this week. 

Hope you have all had a wonderful holiday and ready for the 9 weeks ahead!
