WEEK 3 Term 4

 WEEK 3 TERM 4 2020.


Tokelau Language Week

Te vaiaho o te gagana Tokelau

Mālo ni,

This week is Tokelau Language week.

We hope all the Kakano children and families enjoyed the long weekend and beautiful weather at times!

Wow week 3 already! 

On Friday our Young Vinnies had a Loud Shirt Day supporting the Hearing Association. We managed to raise $200 so thank you for your support for this. 

We welcomed Irwin and his whanau to Kakano 8 last week. 

Our Rosary continues this week with Kakano leading us in prayer.

Kakano 8 are swimming again this week so please remember togs and towels.  PLEASE NOTE: we will definitely swim on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during our swimming weeks. Tuesdays we have dance practice and Fridays Assembly so will only swim if time allows. Thanks.

Library visits continue this week so please ensure your children bring their books back in time for their visits.  Kakano 8 Library day is THURSDAY so it is a good habit to get books back on Wednesdays or Thursday mornings.

Tuesdays - Peter Pan Dance rehearsals continue and we are very impressed with how well the Kakano children have practiced and remembered their tick tock dance choreography. 


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. 


While our Kakano 8 children learn to read their names they have the option of keeping their hat in my classroom for playtimes, so they do not lose it easily or leave it at home. Children get really upset if they can't go and play if they dont have a hat.


Hats can be purchased through the school app, website or from the uniform shop. Please name your childs hat.


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.


Sausage Sizzle and Juicie Day - Fridays - $1.50 each item. 


Friday 13th November. Teacher Only Day. There will be no school on this day.

Our eggs are not far away from hatching and we can't wait to see how many chicks we can grow.  We were very lucky last Friday to have Julian’s dad visit with the special light so we could see the chicks growing inside the egg. Our play focus for the remainder of the t...
