 Kia ora whānau, 

We have had a lovely week in Kōwhai this week. It is great to have the weather becoming nicer, so we can do more activities outside. 

It was fantastic to see so many caregivers at our Student Led Conferences. It feels like it has been a very long time since you were in the hub. We loved having you back in and being able to chat with you about your tamariki, the year they have had and any wonderings about next year. 

During Week 5, 6 and 7 the student leaders have been leading House Games on a Thursday at 12pm. It is a great opportunity for our tamariki to get together with their houses and play a variety of team games. 

Kapa Haka

Next week we will be filming our Kapa Haka performance to share with you. If your child is part of Kapa Haka please make sure they are wearing their correct red uniform top on Thursday. 

Here are some pictures of some of the activities we have been doing in the hub over the last few weeks. 

Have a lovely weekend.

 Kia ora whānau, 

This term is just whizzing by! We had a fantastic Junior Athletics Day today, with the students participating in Discus, Sack Races, High Jump, Egg and Spoon races, and Javelin. This year we were unable to have our whole school house relays so we held a Kōwhai house relay. It was a very exciting race!

The students all showed our school values today, especially We Get There Together and We Love Challenge today. We are so proud of them. 

We hope you have a lovely long weekend.

 Kia ora whānau, 

We have had a lovely start back into our final term of school for this year. It has been great to see all these smiley faces again. This week many of the home groups have been using clay to create sculptures. We have seen some amazingly artistic creations. 

Athletics 

Next week we will start practising our athletics sports in the afternoons. The Junior School Athletics Day is being held on Thursday the 11th of November.  

Unfortunately due to Level 2, we are not able to have parents come and watch the sports day this year. 

Reminders

• During Term 4 the children are expected to wear a hat whenever we are outside, so please help them remember to bring it to school. 
• Please help remind your child to bring their drink bottle every day. The drinking fountains are closed during Level 2 and the days are starting to warm up! 
• Please remember that when you come on campus in Level 2, you need to sign into the office and wear a mask while on campus. 

Here are some photos of what we have been up to for the last few weeks. 

Have a lovely weekend!
