It was fabulous to start the week with loads of weekend highlights - Disco chats, successful soccer tournaments and all the other fun things that happened for our tamariki. Sounds like a fabulous weekend for all!
This week is Cycle Skills week. This is an important part of our programme aimed at keeping our students safe on the roads. This morning we had a lot of questions about the week so please read below, and the attached file, for important information.
- Students will be riding their bikes at school on Tuesday and Wednesday, and have their road ride on Thursday.
- Please make sure they have their bike and helmet with them EACH DAY. If transporting the bike to and from school is an issue, we will provide a space for students to leave their bikes in the pod overnight.
- Please make sure your child’s helmet is fitting correctly (especially for those who did not bring their helmets in today). Information on how to correctly fit a helmet is attached below.
- Girls - please wear a low ponytail as high ponytails will not make your helmet fit correctly. Please also remove any headbands before riding.
- You are required to wear covered shoes.
- Come prepared to ride - even if the weather is not looking ideal in the morning. Please take the time to read over this notice with your child and contact your homeroom teacher if your child is a complete beginner, does not have a bike or does not wish to participate in the road ride.
Thanks to those of you who have supplied material for our students to make their food wraps. We are hoping to make a start on these later in the week so if your child would like to choose their own fabric there is still time! Remember to make sure it is 100% cotton, 30 x 40 cm.
This week is the Year 5 / 6 parent meeting. This will be held in Kahurangi POD at 6:30 pm and is a chance for parents to hear a bit more about our programme - in particular how we are incorporating STEM into our Conceptual Curriculum. We would love to see you there!
Orders for the PTA Cheeseburger lunch on May 23rd are available online at www.mykindo.co.nz. There will be no order slips going home this time.
Kahurangi will be hosting assembly this week. We would love for our whānau to come and celebrate our learning with us. We aim to start at 2:15pm.
On Friday the 1st of June we will be having a Teachers Only Day. School will be closed on this day so the staff can carry out some Professional Development. Please make sure you have made arrangements for your child’s care. Monday 4th June school will also be closed for Queens Birthday Weekend.
A reminder that Cross Country will be held on Friday 8th June. We are still training hard and looking forward to showing how much we have improved our running and fitness!
Homework continues to be the chapter chat independent tasks. We are loving seeing the creative work that or tamariki are bringing in!
Ngā Mihi,
Kahurangi Pouako
