Reading Programme
Next week, Hub 3 and 4 are practising plays in place of their usual readers. Children will be practising one play for the whole week. Please practise these at home also.
Centenary Performances
As you will be aware the children in the Kahikatea team have been practising dances. We will be performing these dances at the Beckenham School Centenary. This will be held at school on Saturday 24th October from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.. It would be wonderful if all students could come along and enjoy this exciting celebration and perform their dance on this day.
A notice will be coming home next week about what your children will need to wear for their dance. The dances are coming together very nicely. it has been great so many children have been practicing at home.
