Kahikatea Team, Week 7

Posted on by

Kia ora whānau,

We have had another fun-filled fortnight in the Kahikatea Team! 


Park Explorers

The sun came out to shine last Thursday as Charlotte and Amber's home groups set off on their trip. They had a fabulous day exploring the Botanic Gardens and Museum. Many thanks to all of the parent helpers who came along to support us!































Gymnastics

We are very excited to be going to Olympia Gym for a series of gymnastics sessions next term! We will be going by bus on Mondays and Tuesdays from Week 3 through to Week 5. Please email your child's home group teacher if you are able to come along and support us as parent help. We will require two parent helpers each day for each home group.


Learning Through Play

We love Learning Through Play in Kahikatea! Recently, some of the most popular play choices have included dress-ups, making, sandpit play, and dance club.




Request for Dress-Ups

If you have any dress-ups that you no longer need, we would love to take them off your hands! We are after size 6-10 dress-ups in good condition.


Reminders

Please ensure that your child has a spare change of clothing in their bag each day, particularly if they are keen on playing in the sandpit, or jumping in muddy puddles!


Please take a moment this week to have a chat with your child about the importance of handwashing.



That's all for now!

Katie, Amber, Charlotte, and Lisa
