Week 1, Term 3

Dear Parents and Whānau,

Welcome to term Three! We trust that the children had a blessed and relaxed holiday and are feeling rejuvenated and ready for the new Term.

This Term we are taking a Deep Dive into the ocean as our Topic. We will be exploring the different zones in the ocean and the animals which live in each zone. We will also be investigating the adaptations that these creatures have to survive in the depths of the ocean. Our main focus of this Topic is to see how the ocean reflects God’s power. We will also be exploring the ways that we can trust God to help us through the storms of life. We are looking forward to a wonderful and exciting Topic.

A huge welcome to our new friend, Ryan Bond, who joins us in Miss K’s Kapowai class from this Term. Blessings to you and your family, Ryan! We are pleased to have you as part of our community.
