Kia ora everyone. Just a quick note to confirm that the kapa haka group are all required to attend the beginning of the whānau hui at St Gerards this coming Wednesday 23rd. The group will perform early on, after which students are welcome to stay but can leave if necessary.

Thanks!

Note Home Here

 Kia ora Oteake families,

The speeches were wonderful this week. We continue to work really hard in class on Basic Facts, Time and Measurement.  Please try to incorporate some of this work into the home over the holidays.

Remember library cards on Monday so they can stock up on lots of reading for the break.

The school musical “Spring Chicken” is on Thursday 5th November with two performances 1pm and 6pm.  The children will need a plain white T. shirt, white shorts or leggings and a small pair of yellow rubber gloves for their feet.  Please try and bring this costume to school in a named reusable supermarket bag the first week back next term. 

We have had a super Term 3 together.  Our class novel “Pocket Bear” will be finished next week and to celebrate the end we would like to have a teddy bear picnic on Thursday. We will be cooking up some tiny pikelets with marmalade, and don’t forget your bear! 

Kind regards, Anne
