How did we get to Week 9 so fast?! On Friday last week, we took our team to the Parish mass. We cannot tell you how proud we were of our kids. They were polite, they joined in, they talked to Father and answered questions, …They were an absolute credit to St Marys AND to their whanau. A big thanks for the delicious morning tea and an extra thanks to the wonderful Mums who helped out and braved morning tea with us. There is quite a bit happening in the last couple of weeks of term - keep an eye on the school newsletter and thanks for checking the blog.
School Photos
Photos are being taken on Monday 28th June. Kakano 1, 2, 3 are booked quite early in the day. Please, wear the correct school uniform - this includes simple red/blue colours for hair ties etc. For more info check the school newsletter. Thanks heaps.
Digital Wellbeing for Parents
Our Year 3-6 classes have been participating in a programme called ‘Te Iwi Matihiko’. This programme educates children on how to care for their own well-being online and the positives and negatives of engaging in digital spaces. On Tuesday we will be hosting a parents session - this session is open to ALL parents.
Teacher Only Day
A reminder that we have a Teacher Only Day on the last day of term (July 9th). If you need child care for your child/ren, you can contact Mary-Ann Roling from Glenholme Afterschool on 347 0709 or 0211 215599. Mary-Anne will be caring for students at St Mary’s.
Our Learning
Literacy = sounds in sequence.
We are looking at how we use sounds, small words and bits of words that we know to make our reading and spelling easier.
Numeracy = reading the problem
We are reading word problems to look for clues about how to solve. You can talk to your children about words that could mean add (join, more…) or subtract (take away, minus, disappear…).
Religious Education = Sacrament
We are learning about the Sacrament of Baptism. Baptism is how we are welcomed into God’s family. How does your family make others feel welcome?
