Term Two, week 1

Welcome to Term 2. Naumai, haere mai, hoki mai. We hope you had a restful and enjoyable holiday!

We have another fun filled term planned with THINK SEE WONDER as our topic.

Exciting Science boxes each week will have children wondering, experimenting and developing questioning techniques while learning all about the wonders of Science.

Health and PE

MoveMprove Kiwi Sports Programme        

The programme helps to develop the skills   required to participate in all types of sports and recreational activities. The programme is delivered by The Kiwi Sports Foundation.

Winter is coming!

Please ensure that children come to school with warm clothing that has been named. Footwear that can put on and taken off independently is appreciated.  Please keep unwell children at home until they are better.  This stops the bugs from spreading.

Matariki                                                    

During week 5 we will celebrate and learn about Matariki,  More information about the celebrations will follow closer to the time.

Nursery Rhymes                                        

Enjoying nursery rhymes will be our focus for shared reading. You could help from home by reading Nursery rhymes together. 

Dress us as your favourite Nursery rhyme character and bring your favourite rhyme to share towards the end of the term.  More  information to follow.

Discovery Time

This exciting, activity-based programme provides a vehicle for teachers and students    to explore curriculum learning and key competency development, in a fun, challenging,  student-directed, authentic context. Discovery Time will take place every Thursday and students will be developing ways to Manage Themselves during  action packed learning opportunities.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Keeping Ourselves Safe is a child protection   programme in which children and young people learn and apply a range of safety skills that they can use when interacting with others.  It is run by the NZ Police.
