Malo e lelei, Greetings

Week nine sees us putting together lots of portfolio samples as a result of the terms work. These will be stored and

come home as part of the reporting process in term 2. Most families who missed parent interviews have since

caught up with teachers to discuss goals and supports for children. Those of you have yet to do so please make the

effort because we know that having your involvement and interest demonstrated in what they are doing at school motivates your

children and supports future learning.

Sports Please return sports shorts as each sport finishes. Touch is well over and all shorts and shirts should be back in. T-ball is due to

finish. The home and school want to get the shirts in for a stocktake so please make a big effort to get them in as soon as possible

after the last game.

Winter sports. We have had very few returns of forms for soccer or hockey this year. Again I am heavily subsidising the cost to make playing

sport as affordable as possible. We will still accept the forms back for soccer, hockey and netball until the middle of next week.

Miniball forms will come home this week.

Blue Day What a great response from our REAL community. Many staff and students wearing Blue to support autism awareness day. We

raised $205.00 which we are donating to the local Waitaki Autism Trust.

Sleep deprivation It appears some children are not going to bed early enough. This means they come to school tired, unable to learn properly. They

often have issues controlling their behaviour as well. Please get the children to sleep so they get the chance to refresh and be ready

for the next days learning.

3-6 Years Old: 10 - 12 hours per day 7-12 Years Old: 10 - 11 hours per day 12-18 Years Old: 8 - 9 hours per day Your support is appreciated. We are looking to run a short course to support parents with strategies for getting their children to go to bed. This will take place next term. It may be a good time to meet with parents who are having the same issues as you and develop a bit of a support network. Writing We are looking forward to the input of our next student writing data. The work we have been doing on our levelling and marking

of writing, combined with our changes of approach mean that we are expecting some good results. I will keep you informed.

Concerns Just a reminder that we require information about concerns so we can take action on it. Thanks go to those parents who have

contacted the teacher or myself so matters can be addressed. If you are not satisfied with the process please make sure you follow

our concerns and complaints process. A copy is available from the office.

Life Education Caravan Wonder what goes on in the caravan parked at the school by the hall? Find out tomorrow. Parent session after assembly

Have a great weekend. Remember Friday 11th the school is closed for a teacher only day.

Regards Brent and staff
