    Term 3 Week 1 

    Welcome to Vienna and Amara to Whenuakura School.


    Hi everyone,

    Welcome back to term three. We appreciate how busy our farming families are from now on, and hope the
    spring treats you kindly!
    We are thrilled to welcome Amara and Vienna to Whenuakura School. Both of these girls are in the Teina Nest,
    Amara as a year 2 and Vienna a new entrant. We really hope you enjoy your learning journey with us.

    Inquiry Term Three


    This term our inquiry theme is ‘​ Around the World​ - Explore, dream,
    discover!’ We will be learning about different countries and their cultures.
    Appreciation of diversity will be a theme throughout. Please encourage your
    children to talk about their learning at home. We also look forward to
    sharing some of our artwork with this theme at our upcoming Pet Day. We
    will also be having a showcase at the end of term which we will let you
    know more about closer to the time.

    CRAZY For Kids Can


    On Thursday 8th August we are having a Crazy For Kids
    Can fundraising day. Please see the attached flier for lots
    of ideas and information. Please send along a gold coin,
    and choose something crazy to wear.

    Basketball
    We won't be entering a basketball team as we only had a very small response - maybe next year?

    Touch
    Many thanks to everyone who has returned the touch form - (green slip that came home on Monday!). If you
    would like your child to play in Hawera on a Thursday afternoon please let us know by tomorrow.

    Pyjama Day
    At the suggestion
    of one of our
    juniors, we held a
    Pyjama Day last
    term. It was such
    fun to come all
    warm and snuggly
    in our PJs!
    Patea Area School Variety Show by Maddie Erni
    Our Tuakana Hive went to Patea Area School for their Variety Show. When we arrived Tuakana Hive
    lined up at the entrance and our teacher gave us instructions about respect and excellence. Once we
    entered, we took our places in the second row. On the big screen there was research about famous
    people the Patea Area School students had been learning about. When the show finally started we
    were all very excited. There was the haka, to models modelling wedding dresses, to princesses and
    dragons becoming friends and three girls singing and dancing to girl power. There were also amazing
    hip hop dancers. When the show ended, we returned to school and everybody was telling each other
    about the amazing performance.
    Ice Skating
    At the end of last term we had a fun excursion to the pop up ice skating
    rink in Hawera. It provided a great challenge for some of our learners
    (and adults!!), but they were great support to each other.

    Kai Kitchen
    We are very lucky to have lunches supplied for some families from the Kai Kitchen. This organisation is run purely
    on donations. If anyone would like to donate some food towards these lunches it would be really helpful. This
    could be anything - bread, fillings, fruit, snacks, muesli bars, biscuits, home baking. Please drop off any donations
    to Joy Macbeth at 26 Egmont Street. Many thanks.
    There are also several ways you can contact them for assistance. You can call or text The Kai Kitchen on (021) 465
    688, e-mail them at info@thekaikitchen.co.nz, contact us through our Facebook Page.

    Pet Day
    Our annual Pet Day is on Tuesday 17th September. It was decided at the last Board meeting that there will be no
    calves again this year. So start training up your lambs, and other pets. The Board also would like to remind you -
    students can bring a lamb Or a pet - not both. Lots more information will be coming our regarding Pet Day in a
    few weeks.
