Bikes to be parked on the concreted area beside the enviro garden. Scooters etc to be parked outside classrooms.

Tēnā koutou, Guten tag, hola, dobri dan, konnichiwa, hallo, namaste, sawubona, kia ora, greetings to everyone,

Once again we would like to acknowledge your support with Level 2 Covid-19 requirements that help the school to stay safe. Hand washing and sanitising has become a way of life. We do stress though, keep your children home if they are sick or awaiting results of a covid-19 test. However, they are expected to be at school otherwise.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori: It is lovely to see staff and students taking part this week in te reo māori experiences.Te reo slips have been given to tamariki (children) and kaiako (teachers) who have been using ‘te reo’ both in the akomanga (classroom) and out in our papa tākaro (playground). On Monday the 14th we joined the nationwide ‘Our Māori Language Moment’. Covid restrictions meant that we could not assemble in the hall, but the students stood outside their classroom to sing our school pepeha waiata.

Term 3: As you are aware, this term is fast coming to an end. It finishes in Week 10 on Friday 25th September at the usual time. Term 4 starts on Monday 12th October at the normal time and finishes on December 15 at 12pm. It has been an interesting term in very interesting times and as a staff we are so proud of all our students and you as a community for your support and understanding.

Water: We continue to stress the importance of hydrated students and having a water bottle on the spot assists this. It often happens that we drop our intake of water in winter and now in spring we need more. As you are aware, our bodies are made up of about 70% water – it’s what makes up the majority of our blood, digestive juices and sweat, and it’s found in our organs and muscle cells. Water is used to metabolise fuel, regulate body temperature and digest food. Water enables our bodies to carry out all of its functions in the day, it continually moves about and is lost in urine, sweat, tears, blood and the air we breathe. Children, in particular, need to make sure they re-hydrate, as water is the primary way they regulate their

body temperature. A wilting child struggles to get the benefits of a day at school. Monster Mash: We have our annual Monster Mash event coming up on October 31st (dependent of covid alert levels). The PTA (Parent Teacher Association) run this event. If you are able to help out at this event, even for an hour to run a stall, please contact pta@kkps.school.nz, more information follows in this newsletter. Any support is greatly appreciated.

Bell times: Next term, we will be adjusting our eating times a little. Children will eat at the end of break times instead of at the start. We will be trialling this approach as many schools throughout New Zealand are doing this and have found positive outcomes such as children are more focussed for learning upon returning to class and less behaviour incidents.

Keeping Ourselves Safe: Classes are underway with the Keeping Ourselves Safe programme alongside the New Zealand Police. Constable Rob has been taking some of the sessions which the children have been enjoying. This programme falls under the Health curriculum and is run biannually at our school.

Kia pai tō rā whakatā - have a great weekend.Ngā mihi Dr Sarah Brown

Te wiki o te reo MāoriRātu tuatekau ma whitu o Mahuru, rua mano,

Me kōrero tātou i te reo Māori i tō mātou kura.We (3/+inclusive) should speak the Māori language at our

school.Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori.Ko te kupu te mauri o te reo Māori.

E rua ēnei wehenga kōrero e hāngai tonu ana ki runga i te reo Māori.

The language is the life force of the mana Māori.The word is the life force of the language.

These two ideas are absolutely crucial to the Māori language.

This Term, Room 13 has been creating a ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ visual art display. Our focus has been learning about what happens to our environment when rubbish is left to scatter amongst our

natural habitats. Tamariki have been enjoying using recyclable materials to create all sorts of wonderful creatures, such as fish, turtles and insects.

Room 19 Paper Making Last week, Room 19 had Anouk in. We were learning the process of recycling paper. First, you have to get a WHOLE lot of shredded paper or ripped paper in a bucket or container. After, soak it with water for one or two days. The paper should be immersed thoroughly. Next, fill a blender one quarter with water. Then, grab a handful of shredded paper and pop it into a blender and grind it into a pulp, drop this mixture into another container and mix with water. Afterwards, pick up your paper making tray and dip it into your container of pulp. Shake thoroughly. When you think you have got enough on the tray, slowly bring it back up.

If the paper is uneven on the tray, shake some more. After that, make sure most of the excess water on the tray is gone. Later, lay it down in direct sunlight for one or two days. When it is dry, you have recycled paper! - Hadley Browne, rm 19.
