WAIHI EAST SCHOOL

SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 20/2016

29th June 2016

Kia ora koutou. Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa. Warm greetings to you all.

Parent Interviews - Last week of Term 2 or first week of Term 3 In Years 1-3 written reports are sent home twice a year, once when they have been at school for 20 weeks, and the other time near their birthday. Written reports for Years 4-6 come home in the middle and at the end of the year. Year 4-6 reports will be coming home this week. The envelope will include a form so that you can book a time for you, your child and their teacher to meet either next week or the first week of next term (ignore this if you have already had this meeting recently).

I urge you, even if you speak with your child’s teacher on a regular basis, to make time for this chat. For your child to hear that you are involved in their learning, and for them to be part of this discussion with you and their teacher can have a positive impact on their future progress and achievement. We are expecting a 100% turnout, so please let your child’s teacher know if you need any additional support to make time for this meeting to happen.

Farewells We will be farewelling Kirsty Smith after Wella’s Music Concert in the hall on Wednesday 6th July at approximately 12:40pm (before the hangi). We will be farewelling Charlotte Burt at an assembly on Thursday 5th July at 9am. We would love for you to join us if you can.

KIDS’ WORK

COMMUNITY NOTICES

My news puppy’s name is Moss, he is 8 weeks old, Moss is VERY cheeky and LOVES to chew things.

He has finally learnt to be quite at night when he is in the kennel, he is now learning to sit down in the car instead of chewing and standing up on the seat. Sometimes when he is being cheeky he bites, but it doesn’t really hurt because his teeth are so little.

When you are holding Moss he usually licks you all over, it tickles! Moss is very clumsy sometimes when he is running or going up or down the stairs he face plants!
