Rātaka ō te wiki - Wiki Tekau

Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,

What a fantastic time we had on Wednesday sharing the creative work of our ākongo at Learning Celebration. Thank you to the whānau that came in - and for those of you who were unable to make it don’t forget to ask your taitamaiti (child) to share at home!

This week we are lucky to have two guest speakers coming in. Anna, from World Vision, to extend our understanding of Famine throughout the wider world, and Daniel - an ex-Whakarongo student. He is coming to talk to us about Sport and Nutrition.

Kiwi Competitions - This week we have the English Competition on Tuesday and any catch up’s for those who have missed previous tests will be on Wednesday. Please ensure students come to school with their devices charged for the day.

PTA Lunch will be delivered on Wednesday 4th July. Orders are closed for this already. Order forms for PTA Pies will go home tomorrow. If you need more forms, please talk to Caroline in the office. 2018 Reading Challenge - Whakarongo School are taking part in the Hell’s Pizza Reading Challenge. This is a great initiative to encourage children to read more. To check it out go along to our library blog. Let the reading begin!

Badge Assembly will be held on Thursday at 11:30am . All whānau are welcome to come and celebrate the successes of our tamariki.

School finishes on Friday at 2pm - please ensure you have made arrangements for your children to be picked up early on this day.

This week we farewell the Explorer as our Chapter Chat novel. It has been great to see all the fantastic work coming in from our tamariki. This will be our last week of independent tasks for homework for the term. These have been shared with our tamariki and are available on the blog. Please find the questions for the last Kahoot below.

As a final note, we have had a fantastic Term in Kahurangi. We have seen our students continue to develop a sense of community and grow as Whakarongo Kids. We continue to be impressed with their creativity and innovation and look forward continuing their learning journey to next term!

We hope you all enjoy a well deserved break with your whānau.

Ngā Mihi,
Kahurangi Pouako
