Our whānau helpers are needed to assist children to change into and then out of their togs.

Christchurch Sympathy Orchestra (CSO)
Last Wednesday we had a fantastic trip to the newly opened Christchurch Town Hall to watch the CSO. Highlights for many tamariki were the inclusion of songs from Harry Potter, Star Wars and Frozen. Thank you to all the parent helpers who helped make the trip a successful one.
Ben the Bunny
Some of our Kahikatea team had a visit from a rather large bunny named Ben. Ben lives at home with one of our lovely support team members.
Writing Journals at Home
We have noticed lots of our tamariki at school are using their own writing journals at home. Does your child have one?A writing journal can be a place to draw, practice writing spelling words or even a place to write your thoughts down.
Toys to stay at Home
More and more toys seem to be making their way to school. Just a timely reminder that no toys are allowed at school. This includes trading cards, fidget toys, figurines, toy cars, dolls or games. Toys are expensive for parents and we would hate for them to get lost or broken. We have lots of fun things at school to play with so students do not need to bring anything themselves!Kahikatea News Term 4, Week 4
A huge thank you for all your support...
The children really enjoyed participating and trying new skills
As ever, we really appreciate all of the whanau support we are receiving. We are especially grateful to those dedicated parents who kindly put away books each week, and to those who volunteer for reading time.
Trip to see the Symphony Orchestra at the Town Hall - Wednesday 13th Nov, leaving at 9.15
In preparation, we are learning about classical music. We have loved listening to Peter & the Wolf, Peer Gynt and other popular pieces, and finding out about the parts of the orchestra.
On the day, please do make sure your child has their school uniform, a jumper and sensible shoes (no gumboots) on Wednesday.

The orchestra will be performing a range of classical music and some modern pieces.
