Week 3 Term 1 2021

What a fabulous first week back. It was so lovely getting to know your little cherubs a bit better.

Library days

Please can you encourage your child to return any outstanding library books. Kakano 3 visit the library every Thursday. And, in exciting news - we have another week to get outstanding Reading Logs back to school. A huge thank you to the 12 families who have already brought theirs back.

Reading bags 

We would like your child to bring their reading bag to school everyday. Monday through to Thursday we read each day and as such, we need their reading book at school too. On Friday’s we put a poem in our homework books. These can be read with you over the weekend. The poem book can be left in the reading bag.

Hats

There are still a number of children who do not have a hat. It is so important all of our students are sun smart. Remember ‘no hat, no play!’

Cricket

Over the next few Tuesdays Kakano 1-3 will be taking part in cricket sessions with Sport Bay of Plenty. This should be an exciting opportunity for our students.

Stationery

Thanks to everyone who has bought stationery for their child. If you have not had the chance to sort stationery for your child. Details re: stationery can be found on our website or by going to the following link https://www.stmarysrotorua.school.nz/2021-stationery-packs/

Ash Wednesday

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. You are more than welcome to join us for the distribution of ashes in church at 9am. 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. During Lent, we remember Jesus sacrifice and prepare for the Easter season. We do extra prayers, fasting, and almsgiving during this season of Lent. 

Opening School Mass

We have the Opening School mass on Friday at 9 am in church. Again, it would be lovely to see you there.
