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 enjoy time reading there.

Viewing the Icon - Holy Mary, Mother of God

Today we were lucky enough to visit a beautiful piece of artwork showing  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua - Holy Mary, Mother of God. It was created by Dunedin artist, Damian Walker, who has integrated aspects of the Māori culture into his work. For example, Mary is holding 12 fern fronds and each koru represents an apostle. She is wearing a tiki around her neck which symbolises her motherhood. Baby Jesus is wearing a kahu kiwi (Kiwi feathered cloak) which was only ever worn by Māori chiefs or people with prestigious mana. The children were blown away by the stunning details within the painting and how they all had a special meaning. Father Thomas was able to answer many questions about the art before leading us in singing Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.

Good morning on this wonderful, wet Sunday morning.  I hope you are all managing to stay warm and dry.  We had a very rewarding week of testing reading, writing and maths last week.  The children have worked hard this year so far and it can certainly be seen in the gains that they have made. Once again, St Mary's provides our children with many opportunities to participate in a variety of sports and activities.   Young Vinnies have the finals of the Talent Quest tomorrow at 9.15 am in the hall.  Congratulations to those who are in the finals.  Remember to be prepared and bring any props, clothes etc which you may need.  The rest of the school look forward to watching and seeing the talent in our school. The Ripper Rugby Tournament is scheduled for this Wednesday, with Friday as the postponement day. This event has been postponed twice already so let’s hope that it happens this time.  The interschool Cross Country is scheduled for Tuesday, with Thursday being the postponement day. R
