Welcome
This week we would like to welcome the following children their whanau to our school: Kingi Maxwell Hemana.
Five Year Olds
We have had lots of new 5 year olds starting school recently and are starting to think about starting up a new class that will begin soon. Whaea Barbara who has lots of experience teaching at this level will move from Room 4 to teach this new class. Therefore it is likely that a new teacher will begin in Room 4. More details later.
Whanau Hui
Teachers are writing mid-term reports now. There will be an opportunity for whanau to come in and meet with teachers on Tuesday 27th June to discuss their child’s progress and report. School will close at 1pm on this day however buses will run as normal. Bus children and any other children with no alternative supervision at home will stay and be supervised at school until 3pm on this day. A letter was sent home last week asking whanau to select a time to come in and to let us know what is happening on this day for your child at 1pm. There are spare forms available at the school office.
Term 3-4 – looking ahead
Whaea Angela will continue teaching in Room 8 until the end of the year, Miss Snow will return to school next year.
There will be a new class for brand new 5 year olds open in Term 3.
Whaea Barbara will teach in this class.
A newly appointed teacher will teach in Rooms 3 and 4.
Transition Day
Our next Kaikohe Intermediate School transition days are set for the 15th and 16th of June this term, a letter will be sent home for students involved closer to these dates.
School Speech Competition
Our school speech competition will be held on Wednesday the 14th June, all whanau are welcome to come along from 9.45am. Speeches will be held in the school hall, there will be non-competitive speeches first (generally 2 children from each classroom) followed by competitive speeches which will include 2 children from each Senior class. Judges will decide from the Competitive speeches the two children that will represent us at the annual Rotary Speech competition being held at the Kaikohe RSA on Wednesday 21st June start time 6pm. Teachers will do their best to let whanau of the children delivering their speech at school know in advance so that they can come along to support.
