Homework

Your child should have brought their homework book home on Friday. Reading and Maths homework is compulsory but the other activities are optional. These can be done anytime or as often as suits your family. Sharing will always be on a Friday.

School Gala

Thanks to those who have contributed items for the gala. Could each family please contribute the following this week:

·       a Jolly Jar (a jam jar full of goodies e.g. small toys, erasers, hair accessories, craft items, crayons)

Family Photos

There are still a few spaces to fill so keep the photos coming in. Thanks to those  who have already sent theirs.

Bible

These lessons have started. If you have not done so already, and do not wish your child to attend this 30 minute lesson please email, send a note or speak to Katherine - k.kittson@howickprimary.school.nz

Let her know whether you want your child to go to the library during the Bible lesson or whether you will be keeping them home until 9.30 on Fridays.
