Pedal Ready Today

Today the Pedal Ready instructors took us for Grade One in bike safety and use.  We learnt about helmet safety, checked our helmets and fitted them correctly.  We then learnt how to do a bike check, checked our bikes and then learnt how to be get on and off safely.  We learnt how to turn and check over our right shoulder safely.
A great day!
(We are finishing off our learning tomorrow afternoon - Remember to bring your bike and helmet)

Sausage Sizzle Helpers

In Week 8 I sent home a Sausage Sizzle note requesting parent/whanau and caregiver help. We still have some gaps. It is every Friday during Term 2. Let me know if you can do a Friday and I will make up the roster.

This was the message on the note:

It is Team Kahikatea’s turn to run the Friday sausage sizzle and we require parent/whanau and caregiver assistance to run the sausage sizzle successfully. The money we raise goes towards Team Kahikatea’s end of year camp to Camp Anderson at Riverdale. Students whose parent/caregiver’s assist with the sausage sizzle will receive $10 off their camp fee.

When it is your turn to do the sausage sizzle, your role will be:

To get the BBQ, bread, sauce and napkins ready

To work with another parent and your child to cook the sausages on the BBQ

Deliver sausages and juicies to the Junior classes

Serve sausages and juicies to older students

Clean up.

You would need to be at school by 11:15 (lunch starts at 12:00) and you should be finished by 1:00pm.

I will get back to you by Week 10 with a timetable of helpers.

Remember the more people who volunteer, the lighter the load for everybody.

Thank you,

Melanie MacGregor
