Midweek Post - Week 9 - Term 3

Wow! It has been a busy week in Kakano 8 with two new students starting. We welcome Evin and Catherine to our Kakano 8 Whanau. 

I have noticed that the children are looking and acting more tired this week. Try to get a good bedtime routine happening with a regular bed time. It is normal when starting school to need extra sleep at times. There is lots of information to take in as well as new routines and friends to enjoy.

Check your child also has enough food to sustain them through out the day. 


I know that my children's lunchboxes do not look that flash, but try to give a mixture of healthy and snack type foods. Also a drink bottle with water especially in Level 2 is helpful. 

Reminders for the rest of the week:
  • Thursday - Nalu day 
  • Friday - Sausage Sizzle and Juicie day  ($1.50each),  Golden Time and Library - Please bring your books back.
Please remember to email or message me about anything to do with your child's learning or school environment.

A special notice about 2022 class placements:
This week your child will have brought home a form inviting you to provide some input into your child's class placement for 2022. These forms are optional to complete and are due back by Friday 1 October. Due to Covid Level 2, we suggest the forms be returned via the Class Teacher.


Our younger students tend to move with many of their current classmates when placed into classes for the next school year. Children are generally classed as Year 0 if they commenced school after 1 April this year, and Year 1 if they commenced school between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021. Students who are currently in Year 0 will be in Year 1 next year. 

If you have any questions regarding this form please contact annec@stmarysrotorua.school.nz
