Term 1 Week 10

-

 Kia Ora Kākano Whānau, 

We hope you all had a restful and holy Easter weekend.


This week is a short school week.  We have noticed many of our tamariki are tired as we race towards the end of the term.  It is important for children to have an early bedtime to ensure they are getting enough sleep as well as lunch boxes that are filled with brain food such as fruit, yoghurt, vege snacks and sandwiches.


Thank you to the families who have donated spreads for the children to use as they make their own toast and to those who have donated tools, and building supplies for our carpentry area.  Your generosity is much appreciated.


Not much is happening this week at school (apart from all our wonderful learning opportunities).

Wednesday:

Normal school day


Thursday:

Normal school day


Friday:

Library - please ensure your child has their library books and library bag

Sausage Sizzle and Juicies for sale - $1.50 each


We look forward to seeing you back at school tomorrow,

Sara Mines, Sany-Joy Mareroa, Lorraine Thomson, Shayla Dixon

Welcome to Kakano 5!!! I hope you've all had a great break. A little bit about me: My name is Sany-Joy Mareroa. I have been at St Mary's for 2 years now and look forward to my third year here with this new class as Kakano 5! I grew up in Rotorua with my parents and younger sister. I really enjoy the outdoors, traveling and walking! I went to Dunedin to study teaching then worked in Auckland. I am so happy to be back here in Rotorua after 10 years and working at this amazing school!! Please don't hesitate to contact me during the year if you have any questions or concerns. I am always here to help. This blog will be updated every single week during the school term! Here are a few important reminders: SCHOOL APP 📱 We have a new school app. We suggest you install and set this app from School Apps NZ then search for St Mary's Catholic School Rotorua.

Holiday Reminders

What a wonderful and busy term we had!! All of the children deserve a restful holiday break! On the last day of school, a few items were sent home for the students to carry on their reading over the holidays. You will find this in a clear plastic sleeve in their book bags. All of the students will have: 4 books These are intended to be read by the children over the break. 2 books a week, just like if they were at school. These are books they haven't read before and may find them tricky, so adults can of course support them by reading the books to them first.  A sheet for Sunshine Classics This is an online activity tool that you can do on a computer or iPad. The login is the child's name as one word with a capital letter for the last name (they are all written on the sheet) The password is reading. I have assigned 2 books that you can work through with the children. They will need sound on the device to fully participate in and complete the activities. Please don't feel pre
