Dear
Parents and Caregivers
We
look forward to welcoming Julien to Room 8 this week, taking our number to 16
children.
I
am currently working through the School Entry Assessments of our newer
children. I will let parents know when these are complete and we will make a
time to share this information with you and set learning goals for your child.
Sunbeam
Kindergarten will be bringing a group of children to visit Room 8 on Thursday this
week. We look forward to welcoming these children as they embark on their
transition to school process.
We
will be beginning our formal rehearsals for our Junior Showcase in the hall
this week. It will be very exciting for the children to be rehearsing up on
stage.
This
week I will be focusing on getting the children’s costumes organised; Olivia,
Jake, Colson, Luca M, Julien, Lily, Lizzy, Madison, Onkar and Grace will be
pohutukawa trees (green t-shirts, black pants or leggings and handmade
pohutukawa headgear), Jaime and Luca P will be kereru (white t-shirt, black
leggings or pants, handmade wings and headgear), Josh will be the sun (big, yellow
painted cardboard circles worn over shoulders), Charlie will be a gardener
(t-shirt, overalls, cap, gumboots and watering can) and Sarah will be a baby
Mollymawk gull (white t-shirt and and black leggings/pants and handmade wings
and headgear). After her fantastic performance in the Poetry Competition,
Lundon was selected to take a lead role and will play one of the four children
in the performance.
I
have been allocated $7 for each child’s costume, so hope to purchase the
coloured t-shirts with this money. I am hoping most families will either have
or be able to borrow a pair of black leggings or pants. I would greatly
appreciate any offers of help to make the sun costume, the pohutukawa and bird
headgear and the birds’ wings. Please let me know this week if you are able to
assist in any way.
Father’s Day is coming up this
weekend. Look out for a wee something for the Dads in your child’s reading
