 Week 8

Kia Ora Kākano Whānau,


It is hard to believe we only have 9 days left of school for 2021.  We have noticed the children are getting tired.  It is very important to keep good routines at home.  Please also make sure the children are bringing a healthy lunchbox and they have a bottle of water every day.  We are not allowed to use the water fountains in the red light restrictions.    


Big Day in 

This Tuesday we are having our end of year celebration.  

The children are allowed to wear mufti to school on Tuesday.

Please send in $2 on Monday or Tuesday for the fish and chip lunch.

Unfortunately we are unable to have parents attend due to the Covid red light level


Children need

* Morning Tea

* Togs and Towel

* Water Guns - for water fight and water fun

* Sunhat

* $2 for lunch


Swimming

Kākano 4, and Kākano 5 will be swimming this week. Thanks for making sure your children have their swimming gear and a towel.


Library Books

If you have received a note from the library regarding overdue library books, please have a good look at home for these.  Invoices will be issued for any books not returned.


School Magazine

We are publishing a school magazine again this year, and this will be available during the last week of this term. It will be a great memento of 2021. Orders are taken now with the cost for the magazine being $10.00.

Books

This week the book room is closed, so for the remainder of the year we are unable to send reading books home.  The children will come home with literacy based activities for homework.  These could include readers made by the children, poems, word finds, structured literacy activities. Reading to your children is also very important, so reading a night story is a great activity to wind down before bed using books you have at home.


Can Drive

Thank you to the families who have supported the can drive.  We are still collecting this week, so feel free to send in canned food with your child

What’s Coming up this week …

Monday - Normal School Day

Tuesday -Big Day In - Please see above for details

Wednesday - Normal School Day

Thursday - Normal School Day

Friday - sausage sizzle and juicies ($1.50ea) 


We hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend

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!
