Term 2 - Week 9

Welcome to all our Kākano families and friends!

We hope you all had a lovely day with your families on Friday celebrating Matariki.  We celebrated the Sacred Heart Mass in Church last Thursday and we all commented on how well-behaved the children were and how beautifully they sang during Mass.  Although the mornings have been colder this week, it has been great for the children to be able to get outside during break times. Please make sure your child has a woollen jersey or polar fleece to put on when outside, as it can be a little chilly or windy.  

This week we welcome Melissa Elvidge to the Kākano team as she is opening the new class (Kākano 8).  This class will be in Room 11 (the classroom close to the astroturf).  We look forward to seeing all the children starting school tomorrow in Kākano 8.

Matariki Cultural Dinner

On Thursday night at 5:30pm, we are having our Annual Matariki Dinner.  All of our school families are invited to this event.  You are asked to bring a plate of food to share with others (if possible from your country of origin).  This event is a great way to meet other families in our school community.  We hope to see you there.  See the poster below for more details.

From Jasmin and Briana (senior students)

Mr. G has met with the Environment Group and discussed our worm farm and how the worms are starving.  We brainstormed and have decided that we could have a food scrap bin at school to collect food scraps for the worms.  The bins will be placed around the school this week. Please look at the picture to see what the worms can and cannot eat.

Thank you.
