Good morning,

As the weather is becoming much colder, please ensure your child comes to school with a warm jacket and appropriate clothing each day. Students are welcome to wear thermals underneath their school uniform to help keep warm throughout the day.

Kind regards, 

Phillippa & Sue

 Kia ora Oteake families,

In the classroom we've been practising thinking about our senses which in turn helps develop our mindfulness skills – namely taking notice and being in the moment. Science says that practicing these types of activities gives our wellbeing a boost!

We’re in a gentle stretch of the maramataka this fortnight (turning of the moon), well suited to reflecting and consolidating our learning from this term. In Maths we will keep practising the 4 number operations and our Fraction work.  We are still enjoying reading and writing poetry (also presenting some this week),  researching  the Men’s World Cup Football, practising for the Ukulele Jam just around the corner, and looking deeper into the Holy Spirit concept in Religious Education (congratulations to William and Parker who received the sacrament of Confirmation yesterday in church). 

*We are skating  Tuesday and Thursday. It was brilliant last week. Thank you for having the children so well prepared. 

Kind regards, Anne
