Constable Josh Reidie the new School Community Officer will be visiting us over the next couple of weeks to talk about road safety. He will be taking groups, along with the teacher and teacher aides, over to the new Maxwell Road crossing to teach the students how to use this safely.
A message from Carleen Phillips, our Te Reo teacher
I am very excited to say that we will be starting a Kapa Haka group this term for those who wish to be involved. The aim is to perform at Taiopenga in October. This is a local cultural festival held at the Clubs of Marlborough. Children will perform in their school uniform and we will be making poi this term. I asked some of the students last term what they would like to do a haka about, as this is an opportunity for the boys to tell a story or share something important and they all said 'Daniel!!’, the message being putting God first, no compromise. What a great message to share. We expect practices to be on Thursday lunchtimes. The Kapa Haka group will be open to all students. The proposed performance program will be as follows: Coral: E Te Ariki or Wairua Tapu Poi: I'll make up poi action for them to learn while singing the Alphabet song. Action song: I'd like to make up actions for 'E toru mga mea' or teach the students how to use rakau (sticks). Haka: Yet to be written. Exit song: The Lords prayer in Maori, with a student saying a whaikorero while the introduction is being sung. Then the students will come forward and sign and sing the rest of the song. If you have questions, please contact Carleen or The Principal. |
