Kia ora, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Kia orana, Fakaalofa lahi atu, Malo ni, Bula, Nameste, Greetings…

Thank you for all your support with Level 2 life at school.
As you are aware you can scan in at the gate with the NZ Covid Tracer app on entry or use our school app
called ‘Skool Loop.’ If you do not have our app, you can find it by typing into the Google search engine
“Skool loop app’ and it will come up. It is free and straightforward from that point as you select Kamo
School. We are able to use this app to share notices, absences, check in, calendar, permissions, contact
details and newsletters.

Thank you for supporting the school with no parents at Cross Country. We appreciate it is an event
where we would normally have a wonderful line up of whanau support.

Road Patrol
We now have our Road Patrol crossing monitors working from 8.15am to 8.40am. Please note that if your
child is crossing outside of that time, it is highly likely it will not be monitored, and we recommend you
cross your child/ren over yourselves. The Three Mile Bush Road crossing in the mornings has the concern
of sun strike as you look down towards the lights, truck and trailer units coming down with speed and those
in a hurry, let alone late for work drivers. So please caution your child with the need for safe crossing
practices at pedestrian crossings.

Contact with the teacher
Thank you to the parents/whanau that have responded to teacher requests to see them regarding students
learning and wellbeing. Please, if you were not able to do so in the last few weeks and now feel you would
like to, do not hesitate to contact the school. Always remember we want to hear from you anytime about
your child/ren.

School Grounds
Our wonderful caretaker Mr Gow has planted a lovely lavender garden to beautify our school and it looks
great. Our grounds are kept clean and clear to try not to tempt any vandals. The weekend before last we
suffered some unnecessary damage around the school, which is very disappointing for our students. If you
are around on the weekend and see any people disrespecting our property we would love to know any
details.

Water Bottles
We want to remind you that students’ having their own water bottles is important, especially in today’s
health climate. To quote known research from Healthy Kids, “Our bodies are made of about 70 per cent
water – it’s what makes up the majority of our blood, digestive juices and sweat, and it’s found in our
organs and muscle cells. Water is used to metabolise fuel, regulate body temperature and digest food. Water
enables our bodies to carry out all of its functions in the day, it continually moves about and is lost in urine,
sweat, tears, blood and the air we breathe. Children, in particular, need to make sure they re-hydrate, as
water is the primary way they regulate their body temperature. The amount of water a child needs is
influenced by the amount of activity they do, the weather temperature, and their diet and health. It’s always
important to remind children to drink, but as a general guide, children up to 8 years of age should have a
minimum of 4-5 cups of water a day. Children above 8 years old require at least 6-8 cups of water a day.”

Change of Details
Please, if you have a change in any details from phone numbers, to addresses, to second contacts on your
child’s profile, we need to know.

Fruit in Lunch Boxes
It is so great to see the number of students who enjoy fruit break or vegetable break. As I move around the school I
see carrots, cucumber, celery, tomatoes when in season all being enjoyed. Thank you for supporting the school with
this healthy snack break, it really does add fuel to get through to morning tea time.

Finally, your input… we value any suggestions you have to make Kamo Primary School a great place to be, from
suggestions around the grounds to classroom learning. You are welcome to contact the classroom teacher or myself.
My email is principal@kamoprimary.school.nz we do value your input.
