Term 4 - Week 7
We welcome back the senior classes from camp. By all accounts they had a great time last week.
With the changeable weather and swimming at the moment, the children are often misplacing clothing. It makes it so much easier if they are named, especially sandals and fleeces/jerseys.
Junior Tryathlon
Year 0-3 will have their Junior Tryathlon on Tuesday 6th December at 11:15 a.m. What to bring: bike/scooter, helmet, sneakers, togs. If Parents are available to help please contact your child's teacher.
Swimming
This week Kākano 5-8 are swimming all week. Please ensure your child has their togs and towel each day.
The Week Ahead:

Term 4 - Week 6
We are heading into the busy time of the year in our classrooms and across the whole school. The Totara team (Yr 5 & 6) has their camps this week in Taupo. We all hope the weather plays ball and they are able to participate in all the planned activities and have a safe and joyful camp.
Back at school, all the Kākano classes will participate in a street racket lesson this week. Street racket is a new and innovative game using a bat and ball. It bridges the skills needed for all racket sports in a fun way.

Term 4 - Week 5
We are already half way through the term and we seem to be reaching higher temperatures. Please can you ensure your child brings a named water bottle so they keep hydrated. Also, please can you remind your child to bring their named hat. St Mary’s has the rule - no hat, no play. So if they do not have a hat, they need to sit in the shade.
Junior Kapa haka
Well done to all our children who participated in the Kahui Ako Ahurei on Friday. Our Junior roopu stole the show and looked awesome in their new outfits. You sang so beautifully and we were all so proud of you. Thanks especially to Mrs Thomson for organising the group - she did a wonderful job.
