There are only 3 weeks to go before Easter!  Where has the time gone this term?  We are busy trying to fit as much learning as we can into the last few weeks of school.  Everybody is tired but they all still seem eager to learn!

We have had a few unwelcome visitors on people's heads the last couple of weeks.  Please check your child for naughty nits and treat them if necessary.  Remember to repeat the treatment to avoid any unnoticed eggs hatching from the first time as well.  

It is a vicious cycle, but if we can all keep on top of it, hopefully it should keep them to a minimum...

As I'm sure people will be able to see from the picture, there are less and less children bringing their togs for swimming each week.  As a result of this, we have decided to make next week the last week for swimming this year.  Make sure you bring your togs so that we can make the most of our last couple of weeks in the pool!

This week our big book is "Keep Trying", and our poem is "Me".  Our letters that we are learning about are 'd' and 'g' and we are continuing to work on number recognition, and before and after numbers to 20 for maths.

We are continuing with our school wide focus on manners and picking up our rubbish.  All the tamariki in A1 are making a concerted effort to remember to say please and thank you and are doing really well remembering to put all of their rubbish in the bin.

Have a good week everybody!
