Kahikatea News Term 3 Week 5
Tēnā koutou!
It is incredible to think that we are entering Week 6 already! So much amazing learning has been happening in our hub.
The word of the week
Our word of the week in Week 5 was KINDNESS.
Kindness is "the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate" (Oxford Dictionary)
Some of our beautiful tamariki demonstrated kindness this week by creating a card for a friend or loved one. It was wonderful to see the thoughtfulness that they used.
A video that has a kindness song is below...
Te Reo Māori focus
Over the past two weeks, we have been working on different ways to greet people and also how to say how we feel. During our waiata, we have been singing the 'Ata mārie' song, which has been wonderful to support our tamariki in learning Māori greetings.
Here it is so you can sing along at home...
Book Character Day
Book character dress-up was held on Friday 19th of August and it was amazing to see all of our tamariki proudly strutting their stuff in super fun costumes. Even the teachers dressed up!
We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Sandy. She was dressed in her 'Guess How Much I Love You' pajamas and she read us the story.
