Kia ora wh\u0101nau!<\/p>

This week has been a busy week getting ourselves ready for production. The children have been working together and sharing ideas. It has been great to see the collaboration. <\/p>

Production<\/h3>

We have had two full rehearsals and it has been excellent to see all our hard work put together. Next week, we have 2 dress rehearsals before performing for the whole school on Wednesday and then we look forward to performing for wh\u0101nau on Thursday at 11:30am in the hall. The children are all so excited! <\/p>

Please can you make sure that your child\/children bring their costumes on Monday, ready for the dress rehearsals. If your child is not sure what their costume is, you can either email your homegroup teacher or the dance group teacher. Thank you for your support with this!<\/p>

Pizza Friday <\/h3>

Our Pizza Friday has continued to be a highlight for many children. We are so proud of our students for all their hard work in earning this great experience. <\/p>

Moving Spaces <\/h3>

As you may have read from the school newsletter, our hub is moving to Parenga. While this may feel like a big change, we have been drawing similarities between Parenga and the current K\u014dwhai hub. We are excited to be alongside the P\u014dhutukawa team next year! The move will be taking place on Thursday 11th December after school hours. This will mean that we will be in our new hub from Friday 12th onwards until the end of term.<\/p>

Transitions <\/h3>

We have begun transitioning our students in preparation for next year. The students have had the chance to reconnect and build new connections with the younger\/older students who will be in their learning space. Yesterday afternoon, our Year 3's stayed in K\u014dwhai and the Year 6 children came to join them for a session of Discovery. Meanwhile, the Year 4 children went over to the P\u014dhutukawa hub to spend time with the Year 5 children whom they will be joining next year. We will have one more session like this in Week 10. On Monday next week, the Year 2 children will be coming to join in a Discovery session with the Year 3's so they can reconnect. Again, there will be one more session like this in Week 10. The children have really been looking forward to this and are embracing the opportunity.<\/p>

Colour Run <\/h3>

The colour run last Friday was a highlight for many. It generated such a community feel that was great to see and the children had such a lot of fun! It was also fantastic the way the K\u014dwhai children also ran with the younger children and helped them round the obstacle course. Congratulations to the PTA for running such a successful event and raising so much money!<\/p>
