Tāne Mahuta Newsletter

Thursday, 13th June

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Winter Sport for Year 5’s and 6’s has got off to a good start with the weather being kind so far. The Year 4 students and others not attending winter sport activities have been taking part in our own Tāne Mahuta Friday afternoon sports programme involving games and sport skills.

The funding for our 9.30 am bread snack has now come to an end. We will continue to have breakfast food (Weetbix and fruit) available for children who might have skipped breakfast at home or used all their breakfast energy on the way to school! We also continue to have daily fruit available and emergency food (muesli bars, dried fruit and nuts) if children find they haven’t packed enough lunch.

There are a couple of events coming up this term for you to note on your calendar.

Year 6 Cycle Safety Programme
Our Year 6 students will take part in this programme with the first group on Monday 24th June and Tuesday 25th. The second group will be on Wednesday 26th June and Thursday 27th. Year 6 students will be bringing home a notice which details which sessions they will be attending.

Trip to Orana Park
On Wednesday, July 3 Tāne Mahuta studio will be taking a day trip to Orana Park thanks to the generosity of the Orana Park team who have funded the visit. We will spend some time with park staff teaching us about the animal communities we have in New Zealand and their connections to the environment. We will need about six parent helpers to come with us so if you are interested please let us know by email.

We are also looking at celebrating Matāriki in our studio and hope to confirm plans for this soon.

Ngā mihi,
The Tāne Mahuta Team (Alison, Kathy, Talei)
