Tāne Mahuta Studio
Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been a great pleasure to welcome students back to Term 4 in Tāne Mahuta. It is going to be a busy term and there are a few things you may like to note on your calendar.
Learning Story Term 3 Reports
On Friday of Week 1 your child will have brought home a report based on their Inquiry work for last term. This was based around Science and students have reflected on what they did. Teachers have added comments about learner skills or capabilities. Please look in your child’s bag if you have not yet seen it.
Sunhats
As part of our Rāwhiti School policy, students are required to wear a Rāwhiti School sunhat when they are outside this term. Could you please check that your child has their sunhat at school. If you need to purchase a new one they are available from the school office and the office staff are happy to put a name on it using gel paints.
Stationery
It is the time of year when students are starting to run out of equipment. Many don’t have blue pens and other stationery. Could you please ask your child if they have all the equipment they need.
School Athletic Sports
On Wednesday the 30th we will be holding our School Athletic Sports for
Years 4-8.
Art Shirts
This term we will be painting landscapes to explore our connections with the local environment. Students will be studying well-known artists and their styles before attempting their own artwork based on a landscape from our own local environment. Could you please see if you have an old shirt or T-shirt to send with you child for when they are painting. Although children try really hard to keep the paint on the paper, they are not always able to prevent spills and accidents.
Tāne Mahuta Studio Blog
We have a Tāne Mahuta studio blog which can be found through the Rāwhiti School website and app. This is used by teachers to post pictures or learning.
Tāne Mahuta Student Blogs
During the Learning Conversations last term parents were asked if they would like to add their email to their child’s blog. This means that whenever your child posts anything on their blog you will get an email. If you didn’t attend the Learning Conversations and would like this, please see me at school and I can set this up.
