Welcome back to term 4. I can’t believe we are at the end of the year already and there is only 9 weeks to go until the end of 2019.


This term is very busy  and we have lots of exciting things planned. Swimming will be starting in week 3, after Labour day,  once the water gets warmer. Please ensure your child has their togs in a plastic bag along with their towel. I have their swimming caps at school from term 1.
 Please remember to put healthy food in your child’s lunch box. We are a health promoting school, so good food, means your child is more focussed at learning time,  has better behaviour and also feels fuller for longer.  


Our Inquiry focus for term 4 is Mana Tangata. We are  focusing on the 2019 Rugby world cup. The children will investigate further, ask wondering questions about the rugby world cup and compare the similarities and differences of Japan to New Zealand.     


Sunhats are compulsory in term 4. Please ensure your child has a hat to bring to school, so they stay safe from the sun. We are also a sunsmart school that encourages hats to be worn daily in the hot summer’s sun.    
Room 14’s class blog is http - kwsbirchall.blogspot.co.nz  The children love having their mahi commented on please come and visit our blog so you can capture your child’s learning in action.


If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me via phone, email or a school visit.  Your continued whanau support is everything to your own child!

I missed out of the class newsletter, in week 9 of this term we are having a school gala. It will be exciting and lots of fun!!

I hope everyone has a great long weekend... I would like to extend a warm welcome to Manaia and Hamuera who joined our class this term. Both boys have fitted in nicely.
