Kikino kē nei koutou - You were all so fantastic!

• No burgers this Friday because of Teacher Only Day
• Iceblocks will be available for $1 on Thursday
• No pies next Monday because of King's Birthday

Kaua e wareware:

• Term 2 and 3 - Please stay off the field before school to give it a chance to dry out and avoid mud and grass through the classrooms.

Temperature records are being smashed across Europe as parts of the continent swelter in a heat wave that is bringing extreme temperatures alarmingly early in the year.

On Monday, the UK endured its hottest May day on record, with temperatures spiking to 34.8 degrees Celsius, breaking the previous record by 2 degrees Celsius. Usually heat records are broken by only fractions of a degree.

Then, on Tuesday, the record was broken again, as temperatures soared to 35 degrees. The average high temperature for London in late May is around 20 degrees Celsius.

These temperatures may not sound extreme but are very uncomfortable - even dangerous - in the UK, where most houses are not insulated well enough to keep out heat and only around 5 percent of homes have air conditioning. A report last week from the UK's Climate Change Committee warned the UK was "built for a climate that no longer exists."

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
