Term 1 Week 9 

Hello to all.  We have had a lovely week exploring b and k!!  We shared our 'beach' art in Junior Assembly this week as well as our monkey floss song - counting backwards from 20!!

Whats on for next week:

• There will be no conferences for our children this term.  
• Our letter of the week is Hh.
• Huntsbury Preschool will be visiting on Monday for Kapa Haka.
• We have been learning backwards counting from 20 - feel free to practise this with your children at home!!
• Have a great week. 

Term 1 Week 8

We had a lovely teddy bears picnic today.  It created some fantastic stories.  Check out the photos below.

Our lion art is also looking amazing.  Watch this space for this to be displayed!

There have been rumours circulating and causing some upset about a scooter thief.  This hasn't been the case.  It initially started when a parent picked up a scooter that a child left behind - and stories have just gotten out of hand from here.  We have reassured the children that some older children have used a big imagination!

What is happening this week?

• Letter of the Week - Bb and Kk
• Teacher Only Day on Monday - therefore School is closed.
• Welcome Daisy, Wilbur and Nicholas who will be starting next week. 
• As the children are becoming really confident at drop off times, we are encouraging them to be independent by doing their morning jobs and saying a 'quick' goodbye!  We are loving seeing the parent relationships developing as well.  One of our goals is to be calm and quiet in the mornings.  Your child is allowed to play outside before the bell goes at 8.45 to make the most of the fine weather.  Toys will be still out most days inside.
• If you have any queries, comments or concerns, please feel free to see us!
• We are really enjoying your children, we feel so lucky!
