Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Term 3 looks to be jam packed with activities. Parents are asked to be really vigilant about reading the newsletter, especially the coming events calendar.
# Production Practice begins on Wednesday 18 July. All students in Tuakana Syndicate are involved in preparation of scenery, costumes, programmes or performance. Production week is Week 7.
# National Maori Language Week begins Monday the 23rd of July.
# The highly successful library “Winter Warmers” programme concludes in week 2.
# Parent Interviews are held in Week 3.
# Aerobics training begins for the Interschool Competition in Week 6.
# Kapa haka students are practicing for their Festival at the end of term 3.
# Reduce, reuse, recycle unit; specialist teacher visits in Week 8.
# Swim to Survive course begins, running for 10 afternoons in weeks 9, 10 and 11, held at the town swimming pool.
In addition to this our normal learning programme continues with major emphasis on improving spelling, times tables and maths, reading and written language. The major topic studies are based around the Treasure Island Production and the Olympics.
There is homework, due on each Friday. I cannot emphasis enough how critical it is that parents and caregivers support their students in their learning. Make sure your children have a quiet time set aside for homework and that they read every day. Many pupils need new exercise books. The WBS is available at the school office for $1:50.
To promote pride in our school parents and caregivers are asked to make sure pupils wear the correct uniform. A black thermal underneath the school t-shirt is a good way to keep warm during winter.
I look forward to seeing you at Parent Interviews. If you are unable to attend you can ring and make an alternative time with Suzie.
Kind Regards
Lee Gibbs
