Kia Ora Koutou
This week we have been busy bees in Rūma Kererū(and the Kura)
We have had tamariki away at West Coast Swimming Sports, a visit from the Manawatu Jets, rugby skills with Nobby, our first session of Ngā Tipu Tōtara and the opening of our brand new climbing frame!
Finnian(year 5), Isla(Year 6) and Luke(year 5) were away on Thursday for the West Coast Swimming Sports. They went to Westport to compete in their respected races and from what I have been told, represented Kaniere Kura very well!
Rūma Kererū are very proud of you and how far you have made it thus far!
On the same Thursday we had a visit from the Manawatu Jets!
They came all the way down to Kaniere Kura and we were lucky enough to have a session with them working on our basketball skills and getting their expert advice on our already finely honed skills.
There were many bags, books and balls autographed and a very happy group of tamariki.
Rugby skills were on Tuesday and Nobby was awesome!
The tamariki now know new games they can play to practice their skills and get them ready for the upcoming season.
I am very happy I went and joined in as well as learnt new games so we can do these at Kura.
Not only will this help us individually, it will help with our team building skills as well as our connections within our akomanga.
Today we had our first session of Ngā Tipu Tōtara for the year 6’s.
This is a programme is built from the idea that we are all seedlings that will grow together, building our confidence to be strong and proud individuals.
This is done through physical activity and learning techniques that are engaging and are aimed to develop tamarikis relationship and skill building, build their confidence and capabilities as well as being a leader of their own.
Last but not least, the most exciting part of the week… our brand new climbing frame has been opened!!!
We have been very fortunate to have the support of the Board of Trustees and local businesses to make this happen. The tamariki have been waiting in anticipation over the last couple of weeks while we have had the finishing touches put in to ensure it is safe and today was the first day they were able to use it. Very exciting for the tamariki and all those who use the playground.
Up and coming for week 8 we have…
Student Led Conferences!
This is such a fantastic way to connect further with your tamarikis kaiako, discuss the results from testing and understand the learning goals that are put in place.
Top Team!
Top Team will be happening on next Thursday from 9:30 – 11:00. This is an exciting and engaging session for the tamariki(and kaiako) that is always a hit!
