Term 4, Week 8

Wow we have barely had time to stop for breath this last week as we raced through kapa haka, the senior production (aMAZing!), Bible in Schools with Mrs White (thanks Mrs White for the Bible story books) then Christmas crafts and baking with Mrs Jessop. We learnt the last of our egg, hatching, caterpillar, cocoon and butterfly dance moves, and learned some Christmas poems together. We also wrote some digital Christmas cards using dltkcards online.

This week we really step up our performance focus with more kapa haka, dance rehearsals, costume production and syndicate singing. Only a week and a half to go till our first public performance! We’re really hoping for a good turn out to watch us bop, roll, creep, crawl, flutter and flap in our plastic masterpieces :) We’re also going to continue our Christmas focus writing letters to Santa, adding to our poem collection and  making a few more cards.

We’re also SUPER excited about our school picnic at Rabbit Island on Friday (weather permitting). We would love to have as many parents along as possible (pre-schoolers welcome if supervised at all times) so keep the day free on your calendar :)  We (children and teachers) will be travelling out by bus, leaving school at 9.30am, and will meet parents and families there in the Harakeke area (the main shade area). Please make absolutely sure that you have your lunch, a drink bottle, hat, sunscreen, warm fleece and practical shoes for the day :)
