Mālo ni.
It is Tokelauan Language Week. There are lots of great resources if you would like to learn a few handy phrases to help our Pasifika whanau celebrate their language and culture. https://www.facebook.com/nztokelaulanguageweek has some great little video clips.
We hope you had a great long weekend - it didn’t feel quite long enough, though, did it? It was nice to have a bit of sunny weather. It’s getting pretty hot and sticky during the school day. Please, make sure you bring a water bottle to school. Our brains need good hydration to function properly.
Swimming - Kakano 3 is swimming this week.
You have the first swimming slot while the pool is nice and warm. It might be a good idea to come to school wearing your togs under your uniform (but don’t forget to pack your underwear in your swimming bag).
Thank you for your support with the Young Vinnies Loud Shirt Day. We raised over $200.
Working Bee - from Mr Macmillan
We intend to have a working bee on Saturday October 31st. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.
Religious Education
This week in RE we are finishing the Creation story and have some lovely work to display later this week. We are also going to be leading the school Rosary at 9am on Thursday. You are most welcome to join us but Mrs T and Miss Ryan will be snapping a million photos, as usual, for those who can’t make it.
Mathematics
We are looking at different strategies for subtraction. You can help us to subtract by helping us to count backwards - it’s quite tricky. We will also be looking at problem solving with shapes. Shapes are all around us. Maybe you could do a shapes treasure hunt at home?
Literacy
We are learning to be independent readers and writers. We have lots of great skills and knowledge that help us to find and fix our own mistakes. You can help us by sitting on your hands and biting your tongue and letting us figure it out (yes, our teachers know how hard that is - be strong Mums and Dads).
