Team Kahikatea Week 6 Term 3

 Kia Ora! 

It has been another busy week in the Kahikatea hub. The newest members of the team have settled in and become part of the team pretty quickly. 

Disco

We attended the disco on Friday of Week 4. The dance moves were amazing and the outfits very impressive. Thanks to the PTA for organising a fun event for us. 

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Sarah, Amber and Kendall's home groups have had Constable Meg come and visit this week. Hopefully you have seen a homework activity come home to continue the discussions we had with Meg at home. Talia's home group will have Meg visit next week. 

The Keeping Ourselves Safe program is designed to empower the children to help themselves in unsafe situations. The topics covered so far have included getting lost, identifying our feelings (safe and unsafe) and naming our body parts with the correct name. We were really impressed with how many children could say their address and at least one of their caregivers phone numbers. It is really important information our children should know in case of an emergency. 

Calendar Art 

We have finished our art work this week that will become available for you to purchase as a calendar, notebook or greeting card. Please keep an eye out for the notice and order form which will have a link for you to see your child's art. 

Date Reminders

Monday 25th August (Week 7) school finishes at 1pm for teachers to attend a Paid Union Meeting. Supervision is available if you cannot collect your child. Please let one of the teachers know if you have not filled in the survey sent home and need supervision for your child.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sarah, Amber, Talia and Kendall
