Kia Ora e te Whānau

We are right back into the swing of things in the Kererū akomanga, and the tamariki have been busy.
On Wednesday we the chess tournament in Greymouth and all contenders bar one, had never gone before! They had on their brave faces and done really well! Unfortunately I missed it but based on the korero, images and feedback, they were as awesome as I thought they would be!

On Thursday, we had a group of year 5/6’s head to Westland High School to play futsol – Indoor football/soccer.
The tamariki were great rolemodels, showing our school values and showing the best sportsmanship. I am super proud of how they all played, working hard and having fun as they took on other year 7/8 teams from Te Tai Poutini!.

Kia Ora e te Whānau

On Monday we were very lucky to have pickleball with Brijun.
The tamariki learnt all about the game, how to play and skills that were help to develop their co-ordination.
Now we have a few keen pickleballers in Kererū who cannot wait for the opportunity to test their newfound skills!

We have a busy few weeks ahead and the tamariki are doing very well to keep up!
We have the Year 6 Westland High School orientation day, a beach safety day AND assembly… the list goes on and on. What awesome opportunities our tamariki are getting.
Come back each Friday and hear more about our last few weeks of Term 4!

Week 8!

Posted on March 22, 2024 by kankristyn

8 weeks down, 3 to go!
The highlight of this week has been Top Team!

On Thursday we were very lucky to have the Top Team Challenge at Kaniere School. We were joined by Kokatahi-Kowhitirangi School for a fun filled morning of 12 activities that challenged us both mentally and physically, encouraging team work and fast thinking.
Kaniere and Kokatahi worked hard on their challenges, they showed amazing whanaungatanga by working as a team and being inclusive of everyone involved!

I myself had a blast with Mrs Fearn, first running sack races and then the burst pipe water activity.
This was great as I was able to have first hand interactions with the teams and I had the chance to see the growth and progress within the groups as well as the support the lovely Kererū captains provided for their teams.

I have attached some photos of the fantastic day we had. I have also thrown in some photos from the ceremony we had, awarding the Seniors their badges for the responsibilities they have taken on!
A very proud moment from myself. Seeing them with all their badges has made me appreciate the effort they go to even more!
