This morning the children noticed that the teachers were dressed as explorers and there were vintage cars in the carpark. This was all part of the provocation for our theme for this year - "Whakatoomene:explore or discover." Pop in and read our thoughts and wonderings wall display.

| Not my usual attire 😀 |
 |
| This car was made in 1960. |
 |
| This Ford was very popular, especially the horn. |
 |
| Some of the cars were similar but were made by different companies. |
 |
| Not all the vehicles were cars. |
 |
| Why are the headlights on this car taped over? |
We will also be swimming most days so please check that your child's togs are in their bag each day. If your child is not swimming please send along a note.
Please remember to name clothes so they can be returned to your child. I recommend using the Vivid marker in the stationery pack to name clothes and stationery.
Home Learning consists of mainly reading each night. The best way to improve our reading is by reading. All the children will bring a book home tomorrow. All other home learning will be optional because many of the children have after school commitments.
Help wanted - If you have time to help out in class e.g. maintaining our garden with a group of children, returning books to the book room, listening to readers, sharing a talent you have, etc we would appreciate your help.
We also have a maker's space for the children to create and make. If you have small cardboard boxes, tubes, construction tools eg hammers, nails & small wood offcuts we can have, please send them along.
The first school newsletter went home today. Please check the school website or the app if you did not get a hardcopy today. Stationery lists were also sent home today.
Have a great week!!
