Week 9 Term 2

Kia ora Whanau

Star of the Week

I'm not entirely how I did this but I've missed a STAR! To catch up I have both this week and last week's Star Student pictures here!

TOM the STAR!
So many people approached me this week to tell me how they thought Tom was deserving of the honor of being the Star Student and I had to agree. 

Good on you, Tom! Thanks for your helpful nature and fun-loving attitude.

ALEX the STAR!
Alex has really impressed me with the way he has settled into Nikau and is taking charge of his learning. Well done, Alex and keep up the good work.

Alex is a super star!

Te Papa Trip

I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused over cancelling the trip to Te Papa on Friday. The horizontal rain made me think of how miserable the wet children would be dripping about the museum and I thought it best to postpone.

We plan to try again this Friday (26th June) at the same time 9:30am. You are welcome to join us.

Please ensure your children have warm clothing, a waterproof jacket and sensible walking shoes on Friday. Many thanks.


Inquiry

We have had some special visitor this week (you may have seen in the newsletter). Nick the Vet from Brooklyn and Bones the skeleton! There is so much learning happening about animals in our class.

Art/Visual Language
I have been on a course at Te Papa about helping children to appreciate art. With that in mind we have been looking at some of Frida Kahlo's self portraits with animals. We have been sketching ourselves with an animal. Stay posted to see some of the wonder pictures we have been working on.
