Kia ora Kawakawa whanau,

I hope that everyone has had a great weekend.  Well done to Henry, Sadie, Chelsea and Florence for being some of the Year 3 / 4 Speech Finalists.  On Tuesday they will do their speeches in the Hall to the school at our School Competition.  We wish them all the best for this.  The poem and speech competition is during our reading time,so for reading on Tuesday your child will bring a book from their book box home to read.  I have my CRT tomorrow and Joss Kennard will be teaching in Kawakawa classroom.

In topic we have started a Health unit of work and we are learning about our growing bodies and how nutrition makes for a  "Healthy Me".  In writing we will be doing some poetry writing.  In maths Year 4 will be continuing their learning about fractions and Year 3 will be learning about measures of turn.  Look out for a fun fact in book bags for  reading tomorrow.  

We will be continuing to practice our dance for our class item at the school 150 Years Show.  Over the week we also have some singing practices as we start to learn the songs for the show.  The class enjoyed the NED show on Friday and we will also do some follow up from this during the week.  You can 'pay it forward' to the next school through a Yo-yo sale, information about this has been looped out.

Have a fabulous week.

Ngā mihi nui,

Julia

Good evening all

This week we will be spending some time learning more of the school production. If they practise 'When I Grow Up' at home with the music, make sure it is the 'Matilda' cover and it is the 'reprise'. They may also like to practise their movement for 'Space Oddity' at home too. Please keep going over the words for the 5 children doing additional lines.

On Tuesday, we will watch our 5 juniors take part in the school poem/speech competition in the hall. Good luck to them all. 

In Maths, Y1 are learning 'Patterns' and Y2 'Multiplication'. Both year groups are also to finish 'Volume and Capacity'. Handwriting is the correct formation of 'Nn and Mm'. Story writing is our last week of 'George's Marvellous Medicine'. In Phonics we are again looking at the 2 sound 'oo' make and also breaking words into their sounds. We are still learning about 'Healthy Eating' and next week we move onto the 'History of Wakanui School'. 

Mrs Livingstone is in Kauri on Thursday whilst I am on CRT. Library on Friday.

Have a great week,

Karen

Hi all,

I am still in need of plenty of parents to take car loads into Winter Tournament next Friday please. I have had 2 email me so far.

Also, gear reminders:

Football - Shin pads are COMPULSORY

Hockey - Shin pads and mouth guards are COMPULSORY. If you have a stick, bring it. They have them there for anyone who doesn't typically play Hockey.

Once I have car loads sorted I will send this out next week with any final information ready for Friday.

Thanks,

Ross 

Kia ora Wakanui whānau,

The hoodie order has arrived and we will distribute them this afternoon.

I am going to ask that they are put in their bags to go home to be named first.  It's super warm today so they won't even need to wear them this afternoon.

Tricky to name but there is a small white tag on the inside seam that you might be able to squeeze a name onto with a marker pen. It is important they are named please

It will be exciting to see them all walk throught the gate in their hoodies tomorrow.

You will notice a press mark from where the emblem was placed. That comes off easily with a bit of water.
