Welcome to the Week 4 K\u014dwhai blog.<\/span><\/p>

Production <\/b><\/span><\/h3>


<\/span><\/p>

We have been busy over the last few weeks, continuing to prepare for our upcoming production, 'Jukebox Journey<\/b>: History's Greatest Hits<\/i>'. A reminder that tamariki are in a group with one of the K\u014dwhai teachers doing either Ragtime, Disco, Rock 'n' Roll, Futuristic, Ancient Egypt, or Michael Jackson. <\/span>Students have been working hard to learn choreography, design props, organise costumes, and rehearse lines. It has been very exciting watching this start to come together, and we are looking forward to having the opportunity to share this with wh\u0101nau later in the term. <\/span><\/p><\/span>

The date and time for this will be: Thursday 4th December, 11:30am.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Athletics Day <\/b><\/span><\/h3>

On Thursday, our students had an action-packed Athletics Day. Students rotated through 5 different events, which included sprints, shot put, long jump, high jump, and discus. It was fantastic to see students showing resilience, celebrating success, and demonstrating great sportsmanship throughout the day. What wonderful examples of embracing the \u2018We Get There Together\u2019 and \u2018We Love Challenge\u2019 kete values. A huge thank you to our staff, wh\u0101nau, and awesome \u0101konga for helping make the day such a positive and successful event!<\/span><\/p>

Dance and Ukulele <\/b><\/span><\/h3><\/div>

Over the last 4 weeks, students have been attending weekly hip hop dance and ukulele sessions. It has been wonderful to see the way students have been engaging during these classes and subsequently developing confidence when learning the dance routine and playing the chords. We certainly have some very talented K\u014dwhai kids who are really making the most of this awesome learning opportunity!<\/span><\/p>

Here is the <\/span>link<\/a> to the audio that students are dancing to!<\/span><\/p>

Hats<\/b><\/span><\/h3>

We are now well into term four and as we get closer to summer, it is important that we stay sun smart. Could you please support your tamariki to make sure they are wearing their hat when they are outside. If they have forgotten their hat, they need to go under the hall verandah at break times. Duty teachers will be supporting with reminders. <\/span><\/p>

Headlice<\/b><\/span><\/h3>

Unfortunately, we have had more cases of headlice reported in K\u014dwhai Hub. Can you please check your child's head for eggs and live lice regularly and treat accordingly if detected. <\/span>The link below has very helpful information about headlice and how to treat it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>
