Tabloids

Hi everyone,

We have Tabloids on Thursday this week. Tabloids involves fun filled activities where the children compete team challenges with other members from their house. They can bring a house coloured t-shirt to school to put on before the event. Please send your children in appropriate footwear (and girls may want shorts on under their pinafores). The children's house colours are as follows:

Heathcote - Green
Jessica, Izzy, Rome, Andy, Jai, Valentine

Avon - White
Ava, Saoirse, Tom, Emily

Rakaia - Red
Edward, Charlotte, Lukus, Rory, Mahlee

Waimakariri - Blue
Louie, Marlon, Manu, Jack, Aaliyah, Evaliyah

Junior Showcase

The children did so well during our Junior Showcase this week, especially taking into account this very hot weather. We know we will have a few students very keen to join the Junior Kapa Haka in the future! Ka pai koutou. We are very proud of you.

Birthdays on the Verandah

We have enjoyed celebrating both Ava and Louie's 6th Birthday recently in Room 2/3. Happy Birthday korua! Thank you Louie and Sophie for the yummy cake.

Junior Showcase

It was lovely seeing many of you at our Junior Showcase today! Room 2/3 did so well and we are very proud of the children. Remember that we have our second Showcase tomorrow (7/12) at 2pm in the hall. Feel free to head on in anytime from 1.45pm onwards to get a good seat.

Responsibility ~ Kawenga

Today we learnt about how to show Kawenga in the School Environment by being in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing (being ready to learn).

We thought about:

-       Staying in bounds -       Using words to solve problems -       Thinking about what I’m doing and being organised so that I’m ready to learn -       Giving a great learning message and listening to all adults Check out some of our ideas: "Give 5" - Marlon "Share" - Ava "Don't tackle" - Rome "Listen to teachers" - Valentine and Mahlee "Don't play at mat time" - Edward " Be kind to plants" - Charlotte "Be safe. Stay in bounds"- Izzy "Hands and feet to yourself" - Tom "Be kind to your friends" - Jessica "Be in the right place at the right time" - Saoirse "Don't whisper when the teacher is talking" - Louie

Community Time

We love our Community Time each morning!
