Baptism Programme

Thanks so much to the families who joined us at Church yesterday for the

Baptism programme. It was lovely to share the beginning of this journey with

you all.

Early finish for staff professional development

This Tuesday 2nd November at 2.30pm, our staff, along with teachers from

St Michael’s Rotorua, St Mary’s Putararu and Bishop Edward Gaines in Tokoroa are involved in Titiro Whakamuri kia haere whakamua Professional

Development. We will need to finish school at 2.15pm on that day so I

ask that you pick your child up at 2.15pm.

RAFFLES: Thank you for your support with the selling of our PTA’s Raffle

Books. The books must be returned  immediately, sold or unsold. We cannot

draw the raffle until all the tickets are in. Thank you.

Friday 12th November. Teacher Only Day. There will be no school on this day.

Swimming

Kakano 1,2 and 3 had a wonderful time in the swimming pool on Friday. We had our Golden Time together. There was lots of laughter and everyone seemed to have fun! Kakano 3 are swimming this week. Kakano 3 will be swimming at 8:45 am each morning. Just get them to come straight in and get changed when they get to school and join us in the pool.

Working Bee

We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, November 6th. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I really appreciate the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children

are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch. I have sent a letter home, if you

are able to help please indicate on the sheet what you can help with and return

the form to school.

This week:

Literacy: Organisation of ideas - how texts are ordered and organised so that

they make sense. You can help by asking simple questions about books that you read together and asking “How do you know?”

Numeracy: Division-sharing out amounts

Religious Education: Welcome - how we are welcomed into God’s family and how we can make others feel welcome. We will also learn what makes something/someone holy. This week Kakano Year 1 and 2 are leading the rosary and will be focussing on the Glorious Mysteries
