  Kia ora whānau,  Congratulations on making it to the final week of what has been a fun and turbulent school year. Thank you all for the time, dedication and effort you have put into your children's learning, particularly during the lockdown period.  Fort building, dwellings and enclosures were the flavour of the week last week. We even had a few "mini classrooms" built.  Lots of fun and imaginative games were played, some of which lasted all day. We sent school reports home on Friday which included a slip with the name of your child's teacher for 2022. All students will be meeting their new teacher and classmates on Monday.  Coming up this week:  Monday - Duathlon  All children will need to bring their togs, towel, hat and sneakers. They can wear their house colours or PE uniform, please ensure all items are named. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, there will be no spectators allowed. Tuesday - Prizegiving. Once again, u nfortunately, due to...

  Yesterday we spent the afternoon looking at the projects that room 1 and 2 have been doing this term.  We spent time doing activities, listening to presentations, playing games they created and being an audience.   Here are some photos of the projects.

    December 5th, 2021   Kia Ora, Christmas music is playing and the decorations are up, Christmas is only 20 days away which also means that our school year is just about complete. This is the last full week of school and there are a lot of activities. Library books are to come back to school this week if you still have some at home, please. We are publishing a school magazine again this year, and this will be available during the last week of this term. At this stage there are only to be 100 magazines printed. It will be a great memento of 2021. Orders are being taken now with the cost for the magazine being $10.00. Kahikateas Big Day In Monday 6th December is our Kahikatea Big Day In.

  Kahikatea Big Day In Dear Parents and Caregivers, Next Monday 6th December is our Kahikatea Big Day In. This is a fun day of celebrations as we approach the end of the year. We have a range of fun-filled activities planned. The children can wear mufti and will need to bring in their togs, a towel, sunhat, sunscreen and a drink bottle of water . Children are allowed to bring labelled water guns for the water fight.  NO WATER Balloons.  Please ensure all items are named (togs, towels, water guns ect.) We would like to have hot chips for a morning tea picnic and would appreciate a $2 koha contribution. Children will still need to bring their own lunch. Unfortunately due to restrictions, we are not permitted to have the usual celebrations of learning with our parents.  Thank you for all your support this year. Kahikatea Team

 

  Good morning on this beautiful summer day.  It is hard to think that there are only three more weeks left of the school year.  Let's make these the three best ones we've had, by being organised, being kind and having a big dollop of patience. 𝅵؜𝅴 Kahikatea is looking forward to our Big Day In on Monday 6 December.  Unfortunately with Covid restrictions, we are unable to invite parents to join us.  Please keep a lookout for a notice which will be sent home this week outlining all the details. Looking back at what was going on this time last year and it was jam packed with lots of activity - preparing for the curtain going up for Peter Pan, Ahurei, student Celebration Day at school, Christmas Parade, students competed in inter-school athletics. Unfortunately many activities have had to be cancelled this year due to COVID and many more will also need to be cancelled. Presently we are looking at how our end of year prizegiving and Mass is going to look. Plans wi...

  We have been really blessed with good weather for our week of swimming.  Well done to most children who remembered to bring their togs and towel every day.   The children have made good progress this term and have shown resilience by challenging themselves to try something new.   Our last swimming week for this year will be in week 8. Here are a few photos from today's session.
