Another term has come to an end. For our students it has been a long one, but they have done well and have worked solidly throughout. Please be aware that term four will start on Tuesday 25th October due to Monday being Labour Day.
The first week back will see your child preparing for Calf Club. By now you should have all received a Calf Club information booklet explaining the indoor and outdoor exhibits. If you have not received a booklet, or if it has been misplaced, please just logon to our website at http://www.kaimai.school.nz/blog/2011/08/03/calf-club-2010/.
The teachers will be setting Friday aside for the students to put all their indoor exhibits together. Please feel free to join in on the Friday to help in the classroom should you wish. If you have access to flowers, and are happy to share them in your child’s classroom, then please feel free to bring these in on the Friday too.
We ask that each child bring in at least one ‘Granny Jane Jar’ by Friday. A “Granny Jane Jar’ is a (clean) jar that has approximately $2 to $4 worth of ‘stuff’ in it, which we sell for $2 each. The ‘stuff’ is usually things like lollies or chocolate, but you may chose to put in stickers, erasers, pencils, pens, small toys, or the like. These jars are very popular with the children (and big children too) on Calf Club Day and we would like every child who wants to purchase a ‘Granny Jane Jar’ the opportunity to buy one.
Please remember that the jars are to be sold for two dollars so be careful to make sure that the child will get value for money but please do not feel like the jars have to be filled to the brim, remember it is only a $2 to $4 value. Should you require jars we have plenty at the school. We would also appreciate it if you could supply some baking for the cake stall as well as a grocery item for our raffle too. The grocery item can be dropped off anytime during the week and the baking is best bought to school on the Saturday morning.
Calf Club is run by the PTA, a group of hard working parents who supply many opportunities for your child. Money raised in the past has gone towards transportation to events, productions at Bay Court, swimming pool items, sports gear, Kapa Haka uniforms, interactive whiteboards and many more items. Without the PTA a lot of resources would not be available for your child. Please support the PTA by suppling a little bit of baking, a grocery item and some Granny Jane Jars, as well as attending the Calf Club Day (which is great fun). Should you like to get involved with the PTA, please contact the school office.
I hope our students have a great break and we will see you all back in term four.
