Kia Ora,
Only 2 weeks until the holidays!! This week we welcome Summer and Angela to the Kōwhai Community. We are so pleased you here. Te Wiki o te Reo Māori Kei te pehea koe? (How are you feeling?) This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori and we have been singing lots of waiata and using lots of greetings and, learning new Māori words. Last week we learnt a lot about Maui and his adventures and, created our own stories on fish hooks. These are on display in our community and we would love it if you came in to share our stories. Goal Setting It has been great to see many of you this week (and some of you still to come next week) to discuss your child's learning and set some new goals. Thanks for taking the time to do this, we know you are all busy but it is such a great chance for the children to see us working together for their benefit. Community Consultation On Tuesday 17 September our Board of Trustees are having a wine and cheese evening for parents to come along and, share their thoughts and ideas on the direction for the school over the next few years. It would be great to see lots of Kōwhai parents there! If you do attend you could earn your child a token for their whanau!! There are more details of this in a notice that would have come home today! Magna Tiles We would love to say a huge thank you to our wonderful Friends of West Melton team for giving us some money to buy some new resources . We used our money to buy the very popular magna tiles! The children have loved using these and have made some truly amazing things!! School Disco Put it in your diary - Friday 18th October and the Year 0-3 Disco will be 5:00 - 6:15 pm Keep up the great work everyone and have a lovely weekend Thelma, Sonja, Jeanette, Julia, Janette and Jo [email protected] |
