Kakano 6 2022

We hope all our kākano families are having a lovely weekend.  Even though our cross country race has been postponed until term 4 we are still training every morning (weather permitting).  It is great that the kākano teachers can see improved fitness levels among all the children.  Recycling Please keep the recycling materials coming into school.  It is amazing to see the different things that can be made from cardboard boxes, bottle tops and other recycling materials.

Kia ora whānau, it’s lovely to see the sun out again. Let’s hope it stays that way for most of this week. Our kakano tamariki love being able to play outside and sorely missed that last week. Cross Country Weather permitting, this is happening on Friday the 26th August at 11:10am at school. Children need to wear their school uniform to school and bring either their PE gear OR shorts and t-shirt to change into. Children will also need to bring shoes to run in as we are running on the footpath as well as the field. If you are able to help, please let your child’s classroom teacher know as soon as possible. Library our library day is a Friday. We are very lucky to have the use of a school library. Could you please ensure the children bring their library bags and books back each week so they can choose new ones. We have some children with very overdue library books.

  Kia ora whānau, This weekend definitely felt like spring was on its way. A cold start but the most amazing days.   Last week we had a lovely Mass to celebrate Mary Mackillops feast day, we then enjoyed fun sports as a junior school then special crafts in the afternoon.  We even had some special guests visit in the afternoon. Here are a few photos. Check out the school Facebook page for more photos Art Provocations This week we continue with art provocations in the morning,  The children have been creating some amazing artwork.  Provocations in the morning provide the children to try a range of different art principles. We always need boxes, bottle caps, yoghurt containers.  It is a great way to reuse your recycling so the children can explore different types of art.  Think of our classroom before filing your recycling bin. Cross Country this Friday The children have been training for this event and are looking forward to running this Friday....
