Volunteers needed on the Junior Campus

The Junior Campus is looking for volunteers to help cover 200 beautiful new Senior Primary reader books that have recently arrived!!

Do you have an hour on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon to help cover our new readers? Please let the Junior Campus reception know if you are able to help or for more information email: Linda.clarke@kingsway.school.nz

Our PMP equipment sessions are in the hall on:

• Mondays from 9:55am – 10:35am & 1:55pm - 3:00pm
• Tuesdays from 2:20pm – 3:00pm
• Fridays from 9:20am - 10:35am

This ‘Station’ focuses on memory as an outcome. It provides young children with various means of identifying objects. There is the (1) Verbal instruction; (2) Visual connection (3) Kinaesthetic action.

Students are required to listen to the spoken word, identify the image it represents and step on individual images of objects in sequence.

It starts off with two or three objects but becomes more challenging as more objects are added. The activity is representative of the classroom. Teachers usually give more than one instruction at a time, which children usually need to complete in sequence, in order to achieve success. For example: “… please go to your locker, collect your bookbag and place it on your desk...” Missing even one step in the sequence will result in an incomplete task.

To volunteer to help with our PMP programme or for more information, please email Charlene van Vuuren, our KingsWay PMP teacher: Charlene.vanvuuren@kingsway.school.nz

Year 5 & 6 Cricket Zone Day – THURSDAY 29 OCTOBER

It was great to be able to finally send some of our Year 5 & 6 students to a sports day. The Cricket Zone day was held at Metro Park and was attended by approximately 300 children from the local area. We sent two boys and one girls team to this event. They all played well, many of them playing cricket for the first time, and had a fantastic day! The weather was great, and it was such a blessing to finally see the children enjoying a day out playing sports and coming together as a wider community.

Our boys A Grade team made the semi-finals and won the third-place playoff game. Well done to them. The other teams showed some good skill throughout the day too.

A huge thanks to Mrs Barr, Mr Pelser and Mr Beguely for helping on the day.
