Welcome!! Week 1 Term 3

A lovely warm welcome to our first five Kakano 8 students who are starting school this week! I can not wait to get to know all the children better as we begin this schooling journey together. This blog is where I will share weekly preparations and exciting updates as well as another way to communicate with parents. These blogs often have helpful reminders of what is happening each week and anything extra the children need to get organised with. Im not sure this blog post will format correctly so apologies if it looks a bit funny this first week! The teachers spent their holidays participating in professional learning and are keen to begin implementing our new learning with the children. We also have been busy changing things up in our classroom and are excited to see what the children think of their new space. What is happening this week… Monday: Normal school day Tuesday: Normal school day Wednesday: Normal school day Thursday: Matariki Liturgy 12:15 in the school hall (all parents and families are welcomed) Kakano 8's Library day :-) Friday:Sausage Sizzle and Juicies for sale ($1.50 each) / School assembly (new children welcomed) PTA Notices: PTA AGM The PTA AGM is scheduled for 7pm Wednesday 28 July - first week back Term Three - in the school staffroom. All are welcome to attend. There will be drinks and nibbles provided!! Please come into the school via the Carnot Street gate and enter the building through the student entrance alongside the school office. See you all tomorrow, Mrs Trask janet@stmarysrotorua.school.nz
