Reading information

  Kia Ora Kākano whānau,                                            It is likely you will see a big change in the reading books your child is receiving from this week. As you may be aware, St Marys is in the process of changing to a ‘structured literacy’ approach to reading. A consequence of this will be a change in the type and frequency of books being sent home. Each week the book will be targeting a specific reading/spelling rule that your child is learning to master. The books may appear too ‘easy’, however the focus is firmly on the particular rule being taught.  On Mondays your child will bring home an activity sheet with words from the story.

  Week 5 Kia ora whānau, it’s lovely to see the sun out again. Let’s hope it stays that way for most of this week. Our kakano tamariki love being able to play outside and sorely missed that last week. Cross Country Weather permitting, this is happening on Friday the 26th August at 11:10am at school. Children need to wear their school uniform to school and bring either their PE gear OR shorts and t-shirt to change into. Children will also need to bring shoes to run in as we are running on the footpath as well as the field. If you are able to help, please let your child’s classroom teacher know as soon as possible. Mini Marathon A reminder that the form and payment need to be handed into the office by Tuesday 23rd August - that’s this coming Tuesday. Late entries will not be accepted. School Production - Little Red Rocking Hood All kakano classes have begun to practice their dance for the production. Our dance is to the song - The Purple People Eater. So far the children are doing amazin
