We have had a wonderful start to the year in the Kahikatea team. Time has flown! We have loved seeing tamariki settling in so well and coming to school with smiles on their faces.<\/p>

Learning Through Play Resources<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Kahikatea is on the lookout for toys and resources for Learning Through Play. If you have toys, games, puzzles, or dress-ups that your family no longer needs or uses, we would happily take them off your hands! He waka eke noa, we get there together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/span><\/p>

House Games<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>

We will be having House Games on Mondays during weeks 4 (19\/2\/24), 6 (4\/3\/24), and 8 (18\/3\/24) this term. Your child is welcome to wear their house shirt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Library<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

We will begin our weekly library visits next week (Week 4). The library is also open during morning tea and lunch play times - children are welcome to go to the library to return books, issue new ones, or browse books during this time.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Library Days<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Tuesdays<\/b> - Amber and Ella's home groups<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Thursdays<\/b> - Quynh and Sarah's home groups<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Literacy<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

We began working with our literacy teachers this week. It has been lovely to see children showing 'We Love Learning' during literacy time. Your child's literacy folder tub is kept in the pathway. We encourage children to bring their literacy folder to each literacy lesson. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Wh\u0101nau Photo Wall<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

One of our kaiako, Sarah, had a wonderful idea of putting wh\u0101nau photos up on the wall in Kahikatea. If you have photos of your family that you would like to contribute to this, please feel free to email Sarah (<\/span>sarah.angelo@beckenham.school.<\/wbr>nz<\/a>) or your child's home group teacher.<\/p>


<\/p>

Netball Sessions<\/b><\/span><\/p>

The Kahikatea team is really looking forward to our upcoming introduction to netball sessions. We have coaches from Cashmere Netball Club coming to run four sessions per homegroup, beginning in Week 5. Sarah and Quynh's home groups will have their sessions on Tuesdays, and Amber and Ella's home groups will have their sessions on Thursdays. Thank you Cashmere Netball Club!<\/span><\/div>
