Week 7

Mufti Day on Friday was hugely exciting! Here are Kowhai complete with their red noses. Solway School raised well over $300 for Cure Kids - amazing effort!

This week we will be wrapping up our Olympic Inquiry Unit and beginning our passion study for the term - FRENCH!! Hopefully your child will be able to teach you something French related over the next couple of weeks. 

I have sent links to the oral language recordings to some people and am waiting for email addresses for others. If you have not received the link, please let me know your correct email address. 

Have a great week - au revoir!

Week 5

Another busy week coming up....

Tomorrow morning we welcome students from Masterton's sister city in Japan, Hatsukaichi. The choir are required to help welcome the students from 8.30am. 

Life Education are also spending the week at Solway. Kowhai will spend 2 sessions on board their truck. We will be studying the 'Friends' module which focuses on friendships and relationships. We will take a break from learning about the Olympics to concentrate on this. 

Oral language talks will be recorded this week for the Term 3 achievement book sample - kids need to be prepared to talk about a prominent Olympic athlete for at least 2 minutes. Looking forward to hearing them!

Well done to all those Kowhai kids who have represented Solway so brilliantly at various events over the past two weeks. 

Week 4

Kia ora koutou,

Week 3 finished on a high after an awful rainy week. The kids who spent the day singing took part in a stunning concert on Friday night - it was beautiful to listen to. The rest of us got crafty with the Olympics! A great day was had by all!

Fingers crossed the ground has dried out enough for the Rippa Rugby tournament to be held tomorrow. We also have a number of children participating in the Large Ball Skills tournament on Wednesday afternoon. Many thanks to those parents who are helping out with all these events.

Here's hoping for some outside lunchtimes this week!
