Finally found this again! LEGO is fabulous!
Mrs Gibbs has a new Harry Potter set to assemble for her office. (She will post a photo when it is done -update. LEGO is made!)
HOME LEARNING FUN
Another fantastic idea that will get the children busy but will also support community. Have them design their own before heading out to chalk it up on the footpath.

"HOME LEARNING' FUN
Have fun with your tamariki and these activities. Discuss, talk, explore, be silly and enjoy each others' company during your time.
You aren't expected to be their teacher - you are their parent and they need you at this time.
We will review this and inform you all of developments for learning etc once the 'holidays' are over on Wednesday 15th April.
Do not hesitate to reach out and get in touch if you need help with anything. We may need to be physically distant but we should never be emotionally distant.
Kia kaha.

Salford - COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) Update
Kia ora Whanau,
COVOID 19 update.
As expected COVOID 19 is starting to move quickly and we are continuing to listen to and take direction from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education.
Salford School continues to encourage good hygiene practices such as thorough hand washing, use of hand sanitiser and sneezing / coughing protocols.
We have cancelled or postponed all events that involve gatherings – Anniversary celebrations, Assemblies, Year 5/6 Pubertal Change Evening and the school disco. The House Captain Leadership Day in Gore has also been cancelled. We are updating as sporting events are cancelled and postponed.
We are currently working on developing programmes of learning for children to complete at home and these will be posted on the school website, school stream and the facebook page in the next few days.
Reading, writing and maths are always key. The children can read anything – newspapers (check the content is appropriate), circulars, books, magazines, comics, recipes, instructions – ANYTHING.
Keep a diary of your time at home and play lots of board and card games.
We will remain open until the Ministry advises otherwise however if your child is unwell please keep them at home.
We are and will continue to rely on relievers at times but this will also provide challenges at time for classroom programmes. We ask for your patience and support where this is concerned.
If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Children's Immunisation Status - URGENT
9th September 2019
Dear Parent/Caregiver
Salford School has been advised that since 22nd August, five people have been confirmed with measles in the Southern region, and this number has further increased. The disease is now likely to be spreading in the wider community.
The number of cases may seem relatively small in comparison with the population, but one person with measles can infect many others.
PHS advises that immunisation is the best protection against measles.
Immunisation is safe, effective and free.
Measles is serious and highly infectious viral disease that causes fever, cough, sore red eyes and a rash. It can make people very sick. People with measles can be infectious even before they start feeling unwell. While almost all people will make a complete recovery, it can lead to hospitalisation and in rare cases, death.
Parents/guardians need to find out whether their children are protected against measles.
Regarding your child’s immunisation status:
Signs of measles
It usually takes 10 to 14 days for someone who has caught measles to start showing symptoms.
If your child develops a high fever, runny nose, cough, sore red eyes, or a rash see a doctor (call ahead to alert your doctor about the possibility of measles before visiting and take this letter along).
If your child has a weakened immune system (e.g. if they have an inherited immune problem or are receiving chemotherapy for cancer), please contact your doctor to discuss further.
If this occurs: Call your GP or Healthline (0800 611 116) as soon as possible for advice. Your GP will advise the safest time for your child to return to school. If your GP suspects measles, they will arrange for testing and Public Health South will be in contact to offer support and any follow up regarding contact tracing.
For more information about measles, contact Healthline on 0800 611 116 or visit https://www.health.govt.nz/your-health/conditions-and-treatments/diseases-and-illnesses/measles
Please complete the form on SchoolStream and arrange to have a copy of your child’s immunisation record to us by Friday September 13th.

Parents/guardians need to find out whether their children are protected against measles.
Regarding your child’s immunisation status:
- If your child has not received their measles immunisation (MMR vaccine) as per the Immunisation Schedule (1stMMR at 15 months and 2nd MMR at four years), call your GP as soon as possible. Arrange a time to immunise your child as it is never too late.
- Infants and children who are not travelling to Aucklandor overseas to a country with a measles outbreak are recommended to get their MMR vaccinations as per the Immunisation Schedule at 15 months and 4 years.
- Infants aged 6 to 11 months who are travellingto Auckland or overseas to a country with a measles outbreak, can have their first MMR vaccination (MMR0) after consulting with their GP, however they will still need to have the MMR vaccinations at 15 months and four years as per the Immunisation Schedule.
- Infants aged 12 to 14 months who are travellingto Auckland or overseas to a country with a measles outbreak, should receive all four 15 month vaccinations (MMR, varicella, Hib and PCV10) at least two weeks before travelling to allow immunity against measles to develop.
- If your child has received only one measles immunisation (i.e. one MMR vaccination), call your GP as soon as possible to see if you need to arrange a time to immunise your child with their second MMR. Two measles immunisations provide better protection than one.
- If your child has received two measles immunisations, or they have definitely had doctor-diagnosed measles infection in the past, they are considered protected. Over 99% of people who are fully immunised are protected from measles.
- If you are not sure of your child’s immunisation records, look in your child’s plunket book or check with your GP.
- If your child is not immune or you choose not to immunise your child, they arenot protected from If they come into contact with someone with measles, they will likely have to be excluded from school or ECEC for up to 14 days.

ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS AND SAFETY
Dear Parents and Whanau
ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS AND SAFETY
You will all be aware of the extreme reactions that bee stings, nuts and other food or plant allergies can bring to children.
At Salford School we have staff and students with varying allergies and body responses to these allergens. Some that can be treated easily with antihistamine or creams and others that are more severe requiring epi-pens and immediate medical treatment.
The intensity of exposure and resulting reactions vary just as much as the treatment.
We currently have a student who is a level 6 reactor. This is the highest level there is on this scale.
This means that should they come into contact with nuts at all (even if someone else has had a peanut butter sandwich and touched a door handle and then the child touches the door handle some time afterward) their body will react violently and quickly leaving the smallest amount of time for help to be obtained and administered.
In order to support this child (and others who also react but not so strongly) in being able to attend school safely, Salford School will be a nut free school.
We please ask that you support this by ensuring children do not bring nuts, nut products or food items containing nuts to school at any time.
Just the residue of nut traces on someone’s hands is enough to cause a rapid, violent reaction.
Thank you for helping us keep all of the children at Salford School safe.
Sincerely
Sarah Gibbs

BYOD Options for 2019 - Students in Rooms 4 - 6
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
You have all expressed an interest in purchasing a BYOD Option for a student for 2019.
Salford have looked carefully at how to get the best options for families, i.e.
Bulk purchase vs Individual purchase.
The risk with the bulk purchase through the school was the warranty and repair, and there was very little difference in the actual end cost for families.
Therefore, in the attachment are two options for you to consider.
1 - purchasing through Officemax, only the items you require. i.e. you may already have headphones that your child can use, and a bag for the device.
2 - purchasing through Noel Leeming who offer very competitive prices, and these can be purchased on a 12 month payment basis.
Remember that Noel Leeming will price match. There are a number of online suppliers and if you find the latest technology model i.e. the HP Chrome G6 touch Chromebook at an alternate supplier for less than the $469.00 they are quoting, print your find and take the copy down to the store for the price match option.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to email through. This email address is being monitored.
Have a lovely christmas and safe holiday break.
kind regards

UNWELL CHILDREN
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Please keep unwell students at home. We have had to send a number of students home today unwell, some of whom presented symptons on arrival at school.
We have a tummy bug moving through the classrooms. Stand down period for a child presenting with vomiting/diarrhea is 24/48 hours - dependent on last episode.
If children are not kept home, the risk of the illness passing to other children in a school environment is high.
Thanking you for your consideration.

NZ Playhouse - Red Riding Robyn Hood
was enjoyed by students at Salford on Thursday 15th March.
"King George has lost the plot! In his never-ending quest to build bigger palaces, giant walls and enormous statues of himself he has raised the Land Far Far Away tax rate to 101%! Jack and Jill can’t afford to get a pail of water, Little-Bo-Peep has to sell her sheep, and even the Princess is so hungry she ate the pea.
When even the bravest of Knights are too scared to stand up to him, the Land Far Far Away cries out for a hero to put a stop to the madness of the King.
Luckily their cries are heard by a mysterious red hooded figure with a bow and arrow, a basket of goodies and some very unlikely ‘Big Bad’ backup."

New Zealand playhouse - ENTERTAINS students at Salford
It’s the crime of the century that’s too much to bear. Bear-boy-band singing sensation Baby Bear has been kidnapped! When a ransom note is discovered asking for an unlimited supply of ‘Just Right Porridge’ all hands and paws point straight at Goldilocks.
Facing a life sentence of uncomfortable beds, chairs and cold porridge she turns to the only cool-cat capable of cracking the case, the mysterious super-sleuth in boots known to all as the ‘Pet Detective’.
Goldilocks discovers that sometimes when everything seems too hard, all you need is a friendly feline and a whole lot of perseverance to make it all just purrrrrrrrrfect.

SPCA "s" DISCO
CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The Disco was an absolute success last night, and without the help of you, whether you were there in the capacity of supervising, or helping your own family, or helped by organising, supplying, collecting, selling, painting, decorating, counting, or providing new ideas, etc, or simply there to look Fab and create a great vibe, I think we would all like to congratulate the Hard working Community of Salford, the Hard working House captains, and their very hard working teachers and parents and grandparents, for a great evening.
The House Captains who were in charge of the disco, successfully raised $271.30 for the SPCA.

Salford Schools - Murihiku Polyfest 2015 our "korowai" cloak.
Korowai - a treasured heirloom for generations. Also known as “kahu huruhuru”, most people use the word “korowai” as the name to describe Māori feather cloaks. Korowai are the most highly prized of all traditional Māori garments and are regarded as family and personal heirlooms.
This project has been lead by Jan Bartlett from Room 1, involving all students and staff.
What a stunning result. This will be on display in Windsor at "Windsor Health and Hire" in Bourke Street.
Please take the time to go down and have a look.
