weekly newsletter for week 10

Howick Primary School Junior Weekly Newsletter 3rd July - 7th July Room 16
It’s nearly the holidays……. 1 more week to go……. but what a busy week!
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	We are working on cutting down the amount of litter at school. One way to help us do this is for each child to try and have a litterless lunch. That would mean taking the food item out of the packet at home and just having the food in the lunchbox. Reusable containers are great for keeping the food fresh.
Disco	Thursday 6th July - Hawaiian Theme Year: 0-3 children = 6.00pm -7.00pm All Junior students must be accompanied by an adult Year: 4-6 children = 7.00pm - 8.00pm Cost: $2 per child or $5 for a family Venue: HPS Hall for Disco, Parent Zone in Staffroom More details to come
