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.

Ngā mihi,
Karen Digby

At the conclusion of the performance students will meet their family in the foyer area- taking all personal belongings with them. ( We will get the scooters from the stage out to the area just outside the car park for you to take home) We have to completely clear the theatre tonight.
