Ramere 20 Whiringa-a-nuku

Friday 20 October

Have a wonderful Labour weekend. Keep safe and enjoy a three day weekend. Look out for the Kauri Team newsletter in your emails.

Today we had the first of the Kauri dance lessons. Michael the instructor was his normal wonderful self and the kids really enjoyed it. There was one wee hiccup but everything was sorted and we are all looking forward to lesson number 2! Roll on the Kauri Social in week 6! Friday 17 November.

This was in the business section of today's paper talking about the things children need to be successful in later life.

Spike came back having been to Wellington for a holiday. He went to Te papa and did a range of exciting things. This is his recount of the candy shop trip.

Battling it out.

Chess is the hot thing and what a lot you learn playing it! Cruz and Gunn are the chess whizzes but James and Sam are close on their heels!

Learning to do the "double cone" Thanks Logan!

Isi is organizing a play with the boys to show Mrs Rush's class. The little red rooster.

Lunchtime colouring.

SSR makes for great readers and clams everyone after a busy lunch time out on the field ! Hurrah!

For written language we are writing letters to Mrs Bartlett to ask her to keep the field roster OR abandon the roster and just let everyone play together on the field.

We finished our letters. Have done improvement writing, ( namely punctuation ) and are ready to conference next week with Mrs Dixon before publishing them and sending them off.

Finishing and reading.

Enjoy the weekend.
