We hope you have all had a fantastic week. We have had a busy week beginning to look at fractured fairy tales in writing as well as starting a new and exciting maths unit too. <\/div>

Gymnastics<\/b><\/h3>
On Thursday, in both weeks 8 and 9, the K\u014dwhai team will be making our way to Christchurch School of Gymnastics at QEII to learn some gymnastics skills. We will be working hard on improving our balance, coordination, and flexibility through various activities and we look forward to seeing everyones skills and confidence grow. The children will be doing gymnastics in school uniform but we recommend that your child wears school pants or shorts to school on these days which would be suitable for gymnastics.<\/div>

Nut Allergies<\/b><\/h3>
Just a friendly reminder that we do have \u0101konga in the team that are allergic to nuts, so just be mindful as to what you are putting in your child's lunch. Please have a look at the contents of any muesli bars, trail mix, or any other lunch box items that may contain nuts. Thank you for your support and understanding. <\/div>

Keeping Ourselves Safe<\/b><\/h3>
We have started our Keeping Ourselves Safe unit this week, in collaboration with Constable Meg from the New Zealand Police. We will be covering different aspects, such as who we are, how we feel, being physically me, touch - what's okay and what's not okay, saying \"no\", secrets and tricks, asking people we trust for help, and safety rules. There will be some homework tasks that will be coming home with students in relation to these topics, so thank you in advance for your support with this. <\/div>

PB4L Focus<\/b><\/h3>
Our PB4L focus for this week was learning about how to strengthen our frustration tolerance. We looked at different scenarios and how to best manage them. We also discussed different strategies for dealing with our frustration, such as walking away and looking at how to disagree politely. <\/div>
