Reminders

As the weather is still warm can you please provide your child with a named sunhat and drink bottle. We would also like to continue to ask all whanau to sunblock their children before arriving at Polyhigh in the mornings.

Please return any wet bags.

If your child has any soiled clothing, the clothing will be bagged and put in the white bin in the children’s bathroom, this clothing is to be collected on the day of the toileting accident, thank you.

We have also had several cases of headlice in the Tui room, checking your child’s hair regularly is recommended, especially during this time, when headlice seems to be more prevalent. Can you please inform the teaching team if your child has had headlice, thank you.

Can you please check and trim your children’s fingernails, as we have had a few children scratched whilst playing with their peers. Thank you.  

It would also be greatly appreciated if whanau who haven’t filled in a “Who am I” form, could do so and return the completed form to one of the teaching team. The forms are located next to the daily sign in sheet.

We warmly welcome our new tamariki; Harvey Lofthouse, Billie Jean Howard and Harrison Riddell to the Tui Group.  It is a pleasure to have you with us and we look forward to getting to know you and your whanau.

Tui Group Programme Planning
Over the past couple of months our focus has been on sustainability and conservation which we have been exploring through art, song, stories and ICT. 

We are currently getting into the festive spirit and have been making Christmas decorations with the children.  Our tamariki and kaiako have been doing some amazing activities including colouring Christmas trees,  wrapping Christmas presents, baking a delicious gingerbread house, making salt dough decorations, creating father Christmas costumes, Christmas face painting, and making a sleigh.
