Week 2

Howick Primary School Junior Weekly Newsletter 31st July - 4th August Room 12
Thankyou to all the families who came along to the 3 Way Conferences to celebrate their child’s learning
Book Fair	The Scholastic Book Fair is being held in our school library in week 4 of this term - more information about this exciting event will be available in the next few weeks
Bake Sale	The next Bake sale is on Thursday 10th August  - please bring a $2 OR $1 coin ONLY
Footsteps Lessons	Thank you to the parents who have already paid for their child to attend the Footsteps Dance Programme. Footsteps is an activity to support The Arts, Health and Physical Education curriculum that is over and above what happens in the classroom.   If you haven't paid yet, but wish your child to participate in this exciting opportunity, please send the money and reply slip in an envelope to your class teacher or you can pay by eftpos at the office or via internet banking. The account number 12 3089 0282406 00. Please add your child’s name and footsteps as a reference.
3pm hometime	For the safety of the children, we ask that all children in Y0-2 are collected by a parent/family member or sibling from the classroom. Please contact the school office if someone else other than you will be collecting your child, the office will then inform the class teacher
litterless lunches	One way to help us reduce litter at school is for each child to try and have a litterless lunch. Please take items out of their packets at home and put only food in lunchboxes. Reusable containers are great for keeping the food fresh.
Whizz Kids Science Programme	For those children who have signed up for this programme will start their lessons this week.   Please refer to the letter sent home to those children’s parents last Friday for details.
Road Safety	Please ensure you use the pedestrian crossing at the front of the school, go through the gate and down the path to keep our students safe. Please help us keep the children safely away from the carpark entrance.
Assembly	Don’t forget that it’s whole school assembly at 2.00 on Thursday afternoons, we would love for you to come along and celebrate with us
Class blogs	Please check your child’s class blog for weekly letters and other info. Take a look at our latest photos of our learning and other school events Click on the link : http://2017hpsrm12.blogspot.co.nz/
