Kia ora Kauri whanau

Wow....what a fabulous celebration all round re the 150th! Thank you for your support leading up to and during the week, in one way or another. We really appreciate it! One more week then 2 weeks for some down time. We have all had a very busy but great term in Kauri. 

To all those going to Mt Hutt on Wednesday with the school, we hope you have a great day. I will be staying back at school with 3 other teachers to run a bit of a craft and activity day with the students not going skiing.

This week in Maths, we will carry on with graphs for year 1 and multiplication and nearest 10 for year 2. Writing this week is about using story starters and prompts to guide our writing and trying hard to remember neatness and punctuation. We will be spending quite a bit of time this week training for athletics day, which is in the first week of next term. For the juniors, this means spud and spoon race, throwing, sack race, obstacle course and 50m and 100m sprints. Reading books will come home on Monday and Tuesday nights only this week. 

Have a great week.

Kia ora Kawakawa whanau,

We have made it to the last week of the term!!!  I have to say how proud I was of everyone in the class for the AMAZING performance they did on Thursday night.  We have put in a lot of practice and the speakers were all so great and the class nailed the dance.  Kawakawa also enjoyed the open afternoon on Friday, and those who took part in hockey on Saturday looked like they also had a good time.  Also thank you to those of you involved with Parent Support during the celebrations.

We have Ski Day on Wednesday.  This year I will be back here at school with the non-skiers.  For those of you heading up the mountain have a great time skiing or snow boarding.  This week I have my CRT release on Wednesday and not the usual Tuesday.  There is a cricket tournament for Year 5/6 on Tuesday so we will have the Year 4s from Karaka joining us for the day.  On Friday we are having house games as part of a PB4L reward treat.

With Athletics Day during the first week of next term we will be doing athletics practices wherever possible.  In maths we will be finishing our learning about angles and then reviewing learning from over the term.  In writing and topic we are going to be reflecting on the 150 Years Celebration and writing something for children in 25 years time, at the next school celebration to read.  We will be reading daily but I won't be sending any reading books home after Monday this week. 

Have a great week. 

Regards,

Julia

Kia ora Wakanui Kura whānau,

Wakanui School will be holding our Rural Day on Friday, 23rd October, week 2. The postponement date is Tuesday, 27th October, week 3.

The morning will include a range of rural farming skills and activities. The pet component of the day will begin at 1.00 pm.

At the beginning of next term, a form will be sent home for families to complete if their child would like to bring a pet to school. You may wish to discuss this with your child over the holidays.

We look forward to a successful and enjoyable day celebrating our rural community.

If you have any questions, please come and see me in Kauri or email karen@wakanui.school.nz.
