Assembly letter for Friday 30th August
Friday 23rd August 2013
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
The children are very excited as next Friday, 30th
August, at 2pm, is our last assembly for the year, which is to be shared
between Rooms 1, 2 and 3. Room One and Two have been learning a song about a
clown so we decided it would be fun for all the children to dress up as clowns.
If you have a clown costume we would love for your child to
wear it. Otherwise bright coloured
trousers or shorts, t-shirt or dress would be fine. If you have some spare
items you could pop them in the bag too, just in case someone doesn’t have
appropriate clothing. Other ideas could be a red nose and wig and bright
coloured shoes. Some children suggested they could spray their hair a bright
colour. This is fine as long as you are happy to do it at home before school.
Please name all clothes and bring in a named bag by Thursday at the latest.
Each child will have their face painted for the assembly. If
your child is sensitive to face paint and you would rather we didn’t use it,
please let us know. We will apply some lotion before using the face paint and
will avoid the children’s eyes. Each class would love a couple of parents to
arrive at 1.15 to help with face painting and getting the children dressed. Let
us know if you’re able to help.
If your child has some words to learn please find them
attached to this letter, and practise throughout the coming week.
Thank you for your help and support this term and we look forward
to seeing you on Friday.
Kind regards,
Melanie Bentley, Maryann Steel, Jill Parker and Joy Kraan.

Children who brought home interschool cross country forms need to have these paid for and returned by friday. I have received this e-mail just today. I have a class list and I am highlighting the names of children who have paid for the trip and given me or the office their forms. So far I have only received forms from the following students:

House t-shirts
Hi Everyone,
I have asked about what children are wearing on cross country day. Children are welcome to come to school with a t-shirt that is in the colour of their house.
There are school house t-shirts available to purchase that have been designed for the school. These come in all sizes and are $12 each.
Hope this clarifies any questions about house colour shirts.
Kind Regards,
Joy

Just a few reminders for the day:
- Children are encouraged to wear their house t-shirts with the school shorts underneath.
- If you would like to take your child home after cross country, please make sure that the whole event is finished before departing and that you come and let me know when you leave.
We have been doing track runs everyday this year and the children have also been learning about how to pace themselves in a running race, so I know we have some fit children who are eager to race.
These winter games are organized around the actual winter games held in Queenstown. The winter games in Queenstowns' opening ceremony starts at 5:30pm.
Hope to see some of you then!

Stationary lists
Hi Everyone,
Just a bit of clarification with the stationary lists. If your child has come home with the 'letters book' highlighted, this should be the little JWBJ books that we use for handwriting. So we don't need another letters book, just a JWBJ book from the office. If your child hasn't got this highlighted then they have enough space left in their existing handwriting book to carry on in there for a little longer.
Regards,
Joy
