Mid Week Post - Week 9 (Term 3)

-

Kia Ora Whānau, 

This week is going by so fast! How is it already Wednesday? 


Positive Affirmations: 

We have been learning some positive affirmations. 

  • I am kind

  • I am brave

  • I am caring

  • I am safe

  • I am love

  • I look out for others


A good way for them to remember these is to keep them fresh in their minds. You could help them say them as positive affirmations in the morning or before bed. Our mission is to build our children to be strong, self-confident, and independent children ready to take on the world. 


Last Friday - Te Reo Māori Learning and Sign Language. 


Last week we had Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori and we learnt lots of new kupu. We also learnt sign language to go along with the song Pepeha by Six60.


Here is a video of us giving it a go! - CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO WATCH OUR VIDEO


Arrival of a Baby Girl


One of the families in our class has been blessed with the arrival of a new baby girl. Congratulations to the Tauiliili-Pelesasa Family on the arrival of your gorgeous baby girl! You have a very excited and proud big brother in Kākano 7 and all his friends are so excited for you all. 




2022 - Class Placement Form

You also may have noticed a form that was in your child's bookbag. This is a form inviting you to provide some input into your child’s class placement for 2022. This form is optional but if you do decide to fill it out please send it back to school in their bookbags by Friday the 1st of October 2021 and I will pass them on. 


Our younger students tend to move with many of their current classmates when placed into classes for the next school year. Children are generally classed as Year 0 if they commenced school after 1 April this year, and Year 1 if they commenced school between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021. Students who are currently in Year 0 will be in Year 1 next year. 



Reminders for the rest of this week:


Thursday - Normal School Day

Friday - Library Day / Sausage Sizzle and Juicie Day


Whaea Shayla

Kia Ora Kākano Whitu Whānau,  We hope you have been enjoying your weekend and the sun that has been shining! We are entering a very special week for our children. The Holy Week. This week is the last week of Lent and we have so many special days to remember and learn about leading up to Easter Sunday, which is when Jesus rose from the dead.  We have some special learning happening for the children this week to help them learn about the Holy Week.  On Tuesday we have a Palm Sunday Liturgy at 12:15pm in the church On Thursday we have a Washing of the Feet Liturgy at 12:15pm in the hall.  We are teaching all our tamariki about what the week leading up to Easter Sunday is really about.

  Week 3 We would like to thank everyone who came along to the three-way conferences last week.  These are a great way to celebrate the children's learning and look at what the children will be learning next. Today is the  Feast Day of Mary MacKillop and we will be celebrating this on Friday.  We celebrate this with  Mass on Friday at 12pm.  Parents and families are welcome to join us.  We have other fun activities to celebrate with the children during the day. Please remember school starts at 8:45am.  The teachers mark the roll  at this time. If your children arrive after this time they need to go to the office as they are late. Kākano 7 is going to Parish Mass for Term 3 on Monday at 9:00am. We will be having a shared morning tea afterwards at the St Marys Church. We would really love for parents to come along to help and be a part of this special occasion as well. Each child will need to bring one small thing to contribute to the shar...
