Week 2 learning

Kia ora Whānau,

We hope you have had a great week! We have had a fantastic start to the year, and are enjoying creating a fun, respectful classroom culture.

Our focus this week has been building relationships, establishing our Class Treaty, getting to know one another, and putting some routines in place. 

Signing our Class Treaty

All About Me Art


It was great to have Mrs. Cato in today to talk about the following chromebook rules:

- Bring Chromebooks into class straight away, do not leave them in bags. 
- Name Chromebook bags. 
- Bring Chromebooks to school fully charged.
- No touching others' devices. 
- School accounts are to be used for learning purposes only. 
- Login details should not be shared. 
- No Chromebooks on the floor or walking around with 'butterfly wings'.



A few notices:
- Sausage sizzle is tomorrow. 
- There is a mufti day tomorrow where students can come dressed in house colours, if they bring a gold coin donation. This is to go towards Apanui School in Whakatane, as a way to help after the devastating fire they had. 
- Thursdays are Library Days. 
- Swimming next week. 

Have a lovely rest of the week, 
Sophie Bowie and Tai Waititi.

Kia ora whānau,  Congratulations on making it to the final week of what has been a fun and turbulent school year. Thank you all for the time, dedication and effort you have put into your children's learning, particularly during the lockdown period.  We have been doing all sorts of crafts, technology projects, science and physical activities during our morning rotations, which the kids have thoroughly enjoyed. Check out our budding beekeepers below!  We sent school reports home on Friday which included a slip with the name of your child's teacher for 2022. All students will be meeting their new teacher and classmates on Monday.  Coming up this week:  Monday - Duathlon  All children will need to bring their togs, towel, hat and sneakers. They can wear their house colours or PE uniform, please ensure all items are named. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions, there will be no spectators allowed. Tuesday - Prizegiving. Once again, u nfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, ther

Welcome to Week 7 Term 4

Good morning on this beautiful summer day.  It is hard to think that there are only three more weeks left of the school year.  Let's make these the three best ones we've had, by being organised, being kind and having a big dollop of patience. 𝅵؜𝅴 Kahikatea is looking forward to our Big Day In on Monday 6 December.  Unfortunately with Covid restrictions, we are unable to invite parents to join us.  Please keep a lookout for a notice which will be sent home this week outlining all the details. Looking back at what was going on this time last year and it was jam packed with lots of activity - preparing for the curtain going up for Peter Pan, Ahurei, student Celebration Day at school, Christmas Parade, students competed in inter-school athletics. Unfortunately many activities have had to be cancelled this year due to COVID and many more will also need to be cancelled. Presently we are looking at how our end of year prizegiving and Mass is going to look. Plans will need to fit acc

Welcome Ākonga and Whānau

  Hello! My name is Sophie, also known as Miss Bowie. I am very excited to be embarking on a new adventure at St Marys this year, after teaching for 4 years at Kawaha-Point School. My passions include playing netball, exploring new places, spending time with my friends and whānau, eating lots of delicious food, and of course, teaching. I am currently training for a half-marathon, which I will be running with Miss Lovegrove (If I can keep up with her long legs!). Throughout my early teaching years, I have had many “wow moments” with my students, which are memories I will treasure forever. I cannot wait to create more precious memories this year in rooms 14 and 15.  Kia Ora Tatou! I’m Tai, but in the class setting I am known as Mrs YTT, mama, and yes, sometimes nana. Teaching makes me feel like a rock star (which is probably what I want to be when I grow up). Every day, I have children run up to me, giving me hugs, calling my name over and over again as they hear me rocking with our cla
