Week 2 Term Four - Kakano 8

Week 2

Kiaora Whanau,



Everyone had a great week last week and settled back into school routines well.   We also welcomed 4 new children to Kakano 8 - Liam, Jack, Millar and Chloe.

 

Thank you for having the children in their summer uniforms, please remember that the school polar fleece is an extra layer on cold days and they are not allowed to wear this in the classroom, hall or church, they can wear their knitted jersey though.



NO HAT NO PLAY

In terms 4 and 1 it is compulsory for the children to wear the blue school bucket hat in the playground.  From this week the children will be using the no hat, no play rule, the children without a school hat will have to sit in the shade outside the classroom during playtimes. 
Hats can be purchased through the school app, website or from the uniform shop. They are also available at times from The Warehouse. Please name your child's hat clearly.


Swimming

Last week Kakano 8 had a wonderful time in the pool.  It is very warm so even on cold days the children were wanting to swim.  THERE IS NO SWIMMING THIS WEEK FOR KAKANO 8. It will be our turn again in Week 3. Please remember to name all towels, swimsuits, underwear, and uniform items as occasionally these all get mixed up during change times.


PTA Raffle Books

Thank you to our hard-working PT for organising an amazing raffle this year.  Could you please return all raffle books sold or unsold along with money to school by this Thursday?  Thanks to those who have already sold the tickets and returned the money to school.


Loud Shirt Day

On Friday we are having a loud shirt day.  The children can wear a brightly coloured T-shirt OVER TOP OF THEIR UNIFORM and bring a gold coin donation.  The money goes to The Hearing House which supports and provides services to families living north of Turangi and the Southern Cochlear Implant Programme.


Working Bee

We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, October 31st. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. We are always amazed at the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.  For catering purposes please let the office know if you can assist, even if it is just for an hour or two.

Mrs Trask will be away from class on Tuesday, although she is still at school, helping teach the school their dance choreography for the School Show Peter Pan. Mrs Katherine Bishop who the students know well will be taking her class Kakano 8 on Tuesdays for the first part of Term 4.


If you are a parent of Marcus, Xander, Jason, Arya, Ayra, Jesse, Lucy and Kayssie, I would like to catch up before or after school with each of you this week if possible for an informal chat about your child's first 8 weeks of school. I will email or text those of you who I can't catch at school. Let me know a time that suits you thank you. These will only take 10 minutes. :-)
Take care, thanks for your support.
