Kia Ora
Wow! What an amazing year it has been! We are enormously proud of all the children have achieved and very grateful for the strong home-school partnership. Thank you very much for your time and efforts this year. We Get There Together!
Dorinda
This Wednesday 14th December is Dorinda's final day, this year. She is getting an early Christmas present and heading into hospital for a new hip. We suspect it was all the 'hip-hop' she was doing in preparation for our Wearable Arts Performance. We will see Dorinda back at school next year in 2017.
Books
Please keep hunting for final library books and reading books and return them this week.
Weet-Bix Kids Tryathlon 2016/2017
Sunday, 26th February 2017. Refer to the PTA facebook page for registration information and more event details. This event is so much fun and entries fill fast. You don’t want to miss out this year!
Hub Visits
This Thursday 15th December children will be spending some time in their new hubs with their teachers for 2017. This is an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and reconnect with familiar faces, while getting to know their teacher.
Junior Athletics
This Friday 16th December is our final day of school. It is a half day and we are holding the Junior Athletics at 11:15 - 12:30. After the event teachers will take their children back to the hub for final farewells and release them after that. Please ensure your child has their drink bottle, suitable footwear, a sunhat and house colours (if they would like to).
Have a safe and fun-filled Christmas break everyone! Looking forward to seeing you all in 2017.

Junior Athletics – Friday 16th Dec, 11:15 – 12:30.
Kia Ora Whanau
We have our postponment Junior Athletics Day coming up next week, on Friday 16th December 2016. We will begin at 11:15am and be finished by 12:30pm. Please meet us outside, on the junior side of the hall. We will then move out into Beckenham Park.
Children are invited to wear their house colours for the day.
This is a timely reminder to please ensure your child has their sunhat, drink bottle and appropriate footwear each day. Teachers will take their children back to their hubs after athletics, so they can collect their bags and then you will be able to take your child home at 12:30pm, as this is the last, half day of school for the year.
This is where teams will be doing their athletics in Beckenham Park:

Kahikatea Wearable Arts Performance – Costumes
Kia Ora Parents/Caregivers
Thank you for getting your child's amazing costume in to their teacher - what a fantastic assortment of wearable arts we have! The following is our plan for the costumes, so everyone is ready to go on the evening of the performance.
On Wednesday 7th Dec, the day before our Wearable Arts Performance, we will be sending costumes home so most of the children will come to school in their costume on Thursday evening. You are welcome to assist your child into their costume at school if it is a bit tricky for them to get here wearing it.
We will open hubs on Thursday evening at 4:45pm and children will need to be signed in by their parent/caregiver, with their costume by 5:00pm. After the performance, they will also need to be signed out.
Kapa Haka Children
If your child is in the Kahikatea Kapa Haka group, they will be getting their Kapa Haka uniform on in Hub 5&6 (the old staffroom). They will also leave their wearable arts costume, named, in that hub to get changed into after their Kapa Haka performance. The only exception to this is if your child is in Hub 3. Their costume will need to be delivered to Jenny so she can take it to the stage wings, as they will need to get changed there straight after their performance. All children will need to sign in with their teacher prior to going over to Hub 5&6.
Hip Hop Crew
If your child is in the 'Hip Hop Crew', they are invited to wear dark pants/tights, shorts or denim shorts. If they have a hat or sunglasses, they can wear them for their performance at the end. If you have a plain black or white singlet, t-shirt or long sleeved top at home, can you please send it to school in a named plastic bag, with their shorts and hat and/or sunglasses as soon as possible. We have some spare t-shirts at school if you don't have one. Please let Amy Buick know if you need one.
Help!
If you are able to assist with costume changing during our performance on the evening, we would be very grateful. Can you please let your child's teacher know if you can.
Thank you for your amazing support

Kahikatea Wearable Arts Performance
Kia Ora
This term, the children have been working hard on creating a wearable art costume and dance - with the help of many wonderful parents! These have both run alongside the theme of 'seasons'.
We would like to invite you to come and see our performance on Thursday 8th December at 5:30 - 6:45pm. This will be held in the school hall.
Children will need to be dropped off and signed in with their teacher in their hub between 4:45 - 5:00pm. Teachers will bring their groups over to the hall at 5:15pm. After the performance, children will go back with their teacher to their hub and parents/caregivers will need to sign them out.
Children in Kahikatea Kapa Haka will have their costume named and in their hub as they will perform first in their Kapa Haka outfit. Sherrilee will be sending more information on this later this week.
Please can all costumes be in this week. If you have any questions please see your child's teacher or Amy Buick.
Thank you for your amazing support!
