Another busy week in Mahuta and Friday seems to come around very quickly each week.

On Thursday, we were entertained with singing and dancing from the "Hiwi the Kiwi" team.  This show links to our big idea this term and the children learnt some ways manage, protect and preserve our marine environment.

Each Thursday, we will be hosting some Canadian teaching students. They will be working alongside the children throughout the school and supporting them with their learning.

Devices: If your child brings their own device to school, please could you ensure that the following free apps are downloaded.

IXL, Reading Eggs (for those who use it), Epic, Storyline online, Google drive, Google sheets, Gmail, Google slides, Google docs, Google Classroom, E platform, QR code reader, Pic collage, Blogger, Flick (Apple devices only imovie & imotion)

P.E. The children need to bring their sports uniform on Tuesdays and Fridays please.

We are still looking for some parents to support our Winter Sports programme. If you are available to coach a team and attend our Friday afternoon sessions, please send an email to Peri (perimarks@merrin.school.nz).
