Rātaka o te wiki - Wiki Toru

Kia Ora Koutou,

Another fabulous week in the Kahurangi POD, with students showcasing their creative side with our wonderful graffiti wall - come and check it out!

We would like to welcome Damon to the Kahurangi POD. We are lucky to have him working with us to support our tamariki in their learning journeys.

There is a different lunchtime club each day and students can join clubs this week.
• Monday - Graphic Design (Ms Matangi)
• Tuesday - Robotics (Mr Mildenhall)
• Wednesday - Literary Quiz (Mrs Thompson)
 • Thursday - IT Techie Training (Mrs Hornell)
• Friday - Garden Club (Mrs Mayston & Mrs Cobham)

Swimming at Ashhurst will continue on Wednesday. Please ensure your child has appropriate swimwear and is at school before the 9am bell as we will depart immediately after roll. We will be offering an optional swim at lunchtime on Friday for those who would like to participate.

Chapter Chat will start this week. Please ensure students have downloaded the Twitter app to allow them to connect with learners in other schools who are also participating in the Chapter Chat. This will allow them to share their learning with a wider audience, and participate in reflective conversations about the text we are reading. Students are engaging in discussions around appropriate use of Twitter, and the feed is monitored by our Pouako.

We have seen some fantastic work come in from our Ōku Tūrangawaewae homework. As we are displaying these throughout Kahurangi, we would love all of our students to complete this task. It is not compulsory, but if your tamariki would still like to complete their loop they are welcome to bring that in this week. Please find this on the Mahi Kāinga tab.

This weeks homework is centred around sharing Taonga, or a special family treasure. We will share these next Monday morning. We know some treasures are very precious and best left at home. If this is the case, an image of the treasure might be a safe option for sharing. Please find this on the Mahi Kāinga tab.

Ngā Mihi, Kahurangi Pouako
