What a wonderful first week back at school. It was all go on Tuesday when we moved back into Nikau classroom and out of the hall.
Nau mai, haere mai!
We were also very pleased to welcome three new students into Nikau. Greetings to Elena, Leonora, Sopho and their families.
Leonora, Sopho & Elena mime something they did in the holidays. |
Hei Tiki
We read about tiki and how they are special this week. We made some beautiful tiki. Unfortunately I (Anne) had a problem with the oven running on the hot side. After a few minutes in the oven I checked on the tiki and great plumes of smoke came out and set off the fire alarms. Well, we got the first fire drill of the term out the way!
Very proud tiki crafters! |

Timetable
There are a couple of changes to the timetable. It is currently being updated. The main changes are around the time of assembly (Friday morning rather than afternoon at this stage) and PE time to allow for the Kelly Sport timetable.

Trip
NZIFF: Movie Shorts for School @ The Embassy
Nikau are off to the Embassy Theatre at 10am on the 5th August. The cost
for this is $5 per student payable at the school office. A ticket would
normally cost $12, so this is a bargain! Please bring payment ASAP. Thank you.
Kelly Sport
Last term the year 1s & 2s benefited from participating in a well structured
sports programme organised through Kelly Sports. Nikau, Manuka and Pohutukawa
have booked this programme for Term 3 beginning this week. The cost is $11.60 per child for 7 weeks. This
works out at less than $2 per 45-minute session, with professional instructors.
These will be every Monday morning. Please remind your child to dress
appropriately for physical activity on this day.
Star Student
Congratulations Louie! Star Student for Week one. It was fantastic to hear the children sharing positive things they've noticed about Louie and offering encouragement.
