Cross country photos and Week 7

Hi,

We had a very successful cross country yesterday afternoon - the mud and rain couldn't stop us! Some photos of Kowhai kids are below - many more are on the Solway Facebook page. The Inter-school event is next Friday at Rathkeale College. A note will come home on Monday with those selected to compete. 

We are starting to explore volume and capacity next week for maths. Please could you send an empty bottle or plastic container to school on Monday? We're after as many shapes and sizes as possible. 

Thanks,
Sarah

Toys and games

A big thank you to Paul Reid who visited Kowhai today to talk about toys and games from the past. The kids loved hearing about Hornby trains, old bikes and toys that were typically made of wood or steel rather than the plastic toys we see often today. 

Week 5

Kia ora,

Hope you all had a lovely long weekend!

A short week this week! Please keep sending the sneaker to school - cross country training is going really well, the kids are really motivated to improve their running times. 

Well done to those who participated in the Kids for Kids Everything is Ka Pai concert - I loved it! Check out the photos on the Solway Facebook page. 

Below are a couple of photos from Folk Dancing last week - we're into the last week of it this week
