Week 5
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.
Mini Marathon
A reminder that the form and payment need to be handed into the office by
Tuesday 23rd August - that’s this coming Tuesday. Late entries will not be
accepted.
School Production - Little Red Rocking Hood
All kakano classes have begun to practice their dance for the production. Our
dance is to the song - The Purple People Eater. So far the children are doing
amazingly well learning their dance. Here are some of the important
dates/information you need to know.
Weeks 5-8 - Classes continue to learn their dance routine at school during
school time with Mrs Trask (our production director)
Week 8 - Bring your costumes to school in a named bag and give it to your
teacher. Your costume is a plain black t-shirt and plain black pants or shorts.
Your costumes will stay at school until after the production is completed.
Costumes need to be at school this week as we have full dress rehearsals next
week.
Week 9 - Full dress rehearsals at school during school time. This is our
practice runs for the production next week. They will all happen during school
time.
Week 10 - Production week. The production will take place on Tuesday 27th
and Wednesday 28th of September in the school hall. On each of these days
there will be two performances - a matinee (during school time) and an
evening performance. The production will be about an hour long. Our classes
have been split into two groups and your child is expected to be at both
performances.
Group A - performs on Tuesday 27th - classes include K1, K3, K5, K7
Group B - performs on Wednesday 28th - classes include K2, K4, K6, K8
Closer to the week of production, tickets will go on sale and times will be
announced for the matinee and evening performances. We will keep you
updated as more information becomes available.
Play Provocations
Our focus changes for the next two weeks to technology and technological
practice. We will be looking at ways to use different tools and designs to
improve or change scenarios/situations to create a better outcome.
