Tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa

Welcome back to term 3.

We have a few new staff members joining our team this term.

Mrs Lindsey Wyeth is working 3 days per week in Te Kakano with Whaea Laura.

Mrs Khinhtay-yee Matete joins us as part of  the I Have  A Dream team as a Year 1 and 2 Navigator.

This term our focus is on Ako – learning about learning. We will be encouraging students to talk about their learning and will be working on skills in order for students to be able to :

• describe what I am learning and why I am learning it
• know how to include the big ideas in my work and I can show where I have used them
• use exemplars and models in a group or independently to improve the quality of my work
• be comfortable to try new things

We are all learners – we are all teachers

Next week is our Matariki Festival – School will finish at 2:00 on Thursday.

Some information that you will need to know before the day:

• Ticket orders will be going out this week – remember that you need to purchase tickets in order to buy the food and arts and crafts on sale.

(Tickets that are ordered will be sent home with your child on Thursday)

At the moment we desperately need helpers to assist the teachers with their food stalls. If you can offer an hour or two please see your child’s teacher or alternatively see Ngaire at the office.

Also please just a reminder that we also require your help with food donations for our food stalls and/or our raffle

Your child will also be bringing home a raffle book for you to purchase

tickets and/or sell them to friends and whanau. These need to be brought back to school along with the money the following day

Plus SILENT AUCTIONS for a signed 2021 Warriors team supporters shirt, Family pass to Northland Taniwha games and sweatshirts and others.

It is going to be a great evening – please come and support us!!

Remember Thursday 5th August 2:30-5:30pm

We look forward to seeing you all there 🙂
