Another term has gone rushing by. We are so very proud of our K1, 2 and 3 kids. They are kind, enthusiastic, hard working and a whole lot of fun to spend time with. We are really lucky to work with such incredible people. Thank you Kakano 1, 2, 3 - you are awesome! And a big thanks to all of our wonderful whanau. We couldn’t do it without you. Your encouragement, support and help at home make a huge difference. You are awesome, too!
Sports photos
Children need to bring their sports uniforms in a named bag, please.
Mini marathon
Mini marathon is this Friday. Transport notices were sent home to all enrolled runners - please, return these ASAP.
Library Books
Our librarian loves encouraging the kids to read over the holidays and she, very generously, allows our kids to take extra books for the holiday breaks. If your child would like to choose some great new books for holiday reading, please, help them to find and return the 'old' books they have hidden around the house. Some kids have books that have been out since pre-lockdown!
If you have been collecting Yummy stickers, please, bring them to Mrs. Dinniss by Sept.23rd. You could also start collecting stickers ready for next year - here is the link to the yummy sticker collection chart. Mrs Todd and the Young Vinnies are still collecting bread tags, too. (Bring a Yummy Sticker or a bread tag to Mrs T and get a jellybean - shhh!).
Year 2 Parent Information Evening - Chromebooks and Google

When: 7.15 - 8.00pm Wednesday 23 September (if we are at Alert level 1)

Class Placement Forms
These are due by Friday. A lot of work goes into ensuring the best decisions are made for every child - this includes social needs, emotional needs and academic needs. This form is one of the pieces of information that we use to guide class placements for 2021.

Religious Education
We are wrapping up our Church Strand work. This week we will be identifying all of the wonderful things in our life that make us grateful. Mary Mackillop teaches us that we should have an attitude of gratitude. We will also be thinking about the different ways that we could be a little more responsible. Talk to your kids about the little jobs that they could help with around the home. Age appropriate chores include: cleaning up their own toys, unloading the dishwasher, setting the table, putting their dirty washing out and clean washing away, making their bed or working alongside a big person in the garden.
Literacy and Numeracy
We are going to have a bit of a review week. We are going over some of the strategies we have been working on this term and will see how we went with our Term 3 goals.
