Week 7, Term 4 2022!!! Wow!  It's December this week already and only 3 weeks to go till the end of the school year.  The children have been pushing themselves to "finish the year strong".  We had a wonderful time swimming in the rain last week as well as an introduction to Street Racket which the children all enjoyed.  We have another session of Street Racket this week. We are encouraging our children to have a go at something different during learning through play.  All three classes have enjoyed working with the House of Science kits over the last two weeks.  We are looking forward to the next kits to work through.  See below the inventions from our budding engineers! So much thought and effort goes into each creation. There is no swimming for Kahikatea this week. Library Please return all library books this week and have a good search at home for any that have  been misplaced.  There will be no more books issued for this year, but we will still visit the library to en

  Weekly Notices, Term 4, Week 6 Bonjour tout le monde and welcome to week 6. I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing weekend despite all the mixed weather we are getting in late Spring.  Only 4 weeks are left until the end of the term and the school year. The last day of the year is Thursday 15th December. Swimming This is a reminder that all Year 3 classes are swimming again this week. It is an expectation that all children swim unless they have a note with a legitimate reason, as swimming is a part of our Health and PE programme. Please help your child to remember their togs every day. Hats Quite a few children are not coming to school with hats. It is compulsory to wear a hat outside during term 4. We only have a very limited number of spare hats and some children are trying to use a class one every day. This is unfair to those who forget occasionally and actually need to use a spare hat as a one-off thing. Learning We will be continuing our learning programme right up to the last d

Wow, what a crazy weekend of weather we have had. I hope you have all had a wonderful time with whanau and managed to rest ahead of another busy week in Kahikatea! Our junior Kapa Haka Roopu performed in the Ahurei at JPC on Friday and were fantastic. They looked extra fabulous in their new kapa haka uniforms and showed passion and pride to be representing St Mary's. A special thanks to Mrs Thompson and Matua Wiki for all the work they have done to get the tamariki ready in time.  Both the senior and junior Kapa Haka Roopu will perform for the school on Monday afternoon, prior to Room 17's exciting assembly. No Swimming: There is no swimming for Kahikatea classes this week. We will resume our swimming in week 6, and 8. Program highlights: This week we are exploring science boxes from The House of Science to learn more about the world around us. Ask your tamariki when they return from school, what box they explored that day. Room 15 are increasing their vocabulary knowledge thro
