Rātaka o te wiki - Wiki Wāru

Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,

This week has seen some enthusiastic students engaging in STEM exploration and showcasing their Ōku Tūrangawaewae where in the world presentations. It was fantastic to see our students supporting each other and celebrating each other’s learning. This week we are shifting our focus to ‘The Power of Water’. We start this week with engaging activities to spark interest and create wonderings in our learners. Next week we will start rotations where we further explore water through inquiry and STEM exploration.

Our homework this week will support our exploration week and take a look at the ‘World Water Day’ website. You can find this attached below and on the blog.

Good luck to all our tamariki who are participating in the Weetbix Triathlon tomorrow. Please make sure your child’s pouako is aware if your child is participating in the triathlon for role purposes.

We have finalised the arrangements for an alternative swimming sports programme. This will take part instead of the usual programme Please find details attached below.


Wheels Day is rescheduled for this Friday this week. Students, please bring along your favourite set of wheels and join in! You can store your wheels on the field where there will be a designated section marked off.

All students, and parents, should now be connected to Seesaw Learning Blogs. We will be setting up our seesaw accounts this week. If you are not yet connected, please email your child’s pouako and they can assist you with this. Students are starting to post their amazing work, and we are starting to see whānau comment on posts. This helps to strengthen home-school partnerships and is great for building students pride in their learning so keep it up!
