Thursday, 15th September 2016 Term 3 Week 8 Dear Parents and Caregivers, He mihi tenei kia koutou nga matua, me nga kaitiaki o a tatou tamariki. Tena koutou katoa

Last Saturday our two Tournament of Minds teams (KK1 and KK2) competed in the

Regional Competition in Palmerston North. The KK1 Team of Sean Moody, Alex

Linstrom, Sam Teitelbaum, Rachel Cowie, Zara Feaunati, Parker Lynch and Keira

Lewis won the Science and Technology Section and advance to the National Final on

Saturday, September 24. Although KK2 did not advance to the final, their Spontaneous

Challenge attracted some of the highest marks of the day and the judges said that they

“Overcame team difficulties to present a polished dramatic presentation”.

Congratulations to both teams and “Good luck!” to KK1 for the Nationals!

Thanks to Kenakena teachers Kim Kelly and Tatia Downer for managing our teams’

involvement in this year’s tournament.

KK1 Team

KK2 Team – Jesse White, Conal Forgan, Josh Teitelbaum, Sonny Edwards and Joshua

Rennie. Eva Weld and Ella Harvey were absent for this photo.

See our Facebook Page for personal testimonials of the T.O.M. experience from Mrs

Downer and some of the children involved.

NETBALL FINALS

Kenakena has three teams in the Kapiti Netball Finals this weekend. The Kauri, Matai

and Rata teams all play at 9am on Saturday at Te Atiawa Courts. Come down and

support our teams. Go Kenakena!

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES NEXT WEEK

As you will know, Parent-Teacher Conferences are planned for Wednesday and

Thursday next week. The conferences are 15 minutes in duration and the details for

booking them are included in this Newsletter.

One of the reasons for a conference time of 15 minutes is to allow students from Year

5 and upwards to participate in the conferences with their parents. Involving the

children is a really important aspect of the reporting process as they are involved in

conversations about their progress, achievement and next steps in their learning.

Sharing this information with their parents and their teachers plays an important part

in children recognising that they are also responsible for, and can make decisions

about, their learning. For Years 5 to 8 we believe it is essential that your children

participate. Please don’t let them talk you out of it!

Your children will receive their Report on Friday. Please bring this report to the Parent-

Teacher Conference next week.

Along with this newsletter you will also receive a document titled 2016 National

Standards Parent Info on Reporting to explain to you how the reporting of National

Education Standards links to your child’s progress in relation to the New Zealand

Curriculum.

While the conferences are taking place a bell will sound at 15 minute intervals to

signify the end of each timeframe. Please be respectful of those timetabled for the

next slot.

School will finish at 2pm next Wednesday and Thursday to allow conferences to get

under way at 2.15 and finish at 7pm.

THANK YOU

The teachers and ancillary staff at Kenakena School thank you for your cooperation

on Thursday last week, when we attended the paid union meeting at Levin to consider

the ramifications of the Minister of Education’s proposed ‘Global Budget’ funding

model for schools. The model would likely result in a cut of funding to schools, which

already have to fund-raise to make ends meet.

MANDARIN LESSONS

Children in Years 3 and 4 have had the opportunity to learn about China and the

Mandarin language in a programme offered to all Kapiti schools through the Confucius

Institute. Our students in Rooms 2 and 4 have been working with two university interns

from China, Huang and Chang, over the past two terms. This week Huang and Chang

demonstrated a Chinese Tea Ceremony.

See more photos of this ceremony on our Facebook Page.

NEW ENTRANT NUMBERS: LOOKING FORWARD TO 2017

It is important for us to monitor our future enrolments of five year olds as it assists us

with planning for teaching spaces and resources. If you have a child turning five who

has yet to enrol at Kenakena or if you have friends, relatives or colleagues who intend

to enrol their children here in the next two years, we would like to know so we can

record their children’s names on our enrolments list.

NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL WEEK OF TERM 3. SCHOOL FINISHES AT 3.00PM AS

USUAL NEXT FRIDAY.

Bruce McDonald PRINCIPAL

Gastroenteritis reminder from Regional Public Health The winter increase of viral illnesses causing diarrhoea and vomiting has occurred later than usual this year, with outbreaks being reported towards the end of August and beginning of September. This is a reminder about the need for children and staff who are sick with diarrhoea and vomiting to stay at home until 48 hours after the diarrhoea or vomiting has stopped; and to encourage good hand washing and drying. More information on what to do to stop the spread of viral illnesses can be found attached on www.rph.org.nz (Public Health Topics > Foodborne Illness > Gastroenteritis pamphlet).

TIPS FOR PARENTS

Apologising to your kids

Now some parents refuse to apologise to their kids because they think they will lose

their kids’ respect – wrong! The opposite is true. Our kids will forgive us almost

anything, except hypocrisy. They know we’re not perfect. Our kids will eventually

sniff out all our faults – and so we may as well own up to them.

“Sorry about that telling off, kids. I wasn’t very happy about that mess you made, but

you didn’t deserve that much of a growling. I was just being a bit of a grump.” “That’s

all right, Dad, we’re used to it.” And it’s forgotten and blows out the window. If we

don’t back down, there is a real risk of that offence festering away and into real

resentment, a chip on their shoulder that could really stink up the relationship.

Sometimes it’s right to back down and apologise to our kids. Don’t let you anger and

pride rob you of a close relationship.

SCHOLASTIC BOOKS

The brochure for Issue 6 should have come home with your child/ren. The closing date for

this Issue is Thursday 22nd September.

For each order placed Kenakena School will receive 20% in value to obtain books and

resources for our school.

The simplest way to make an order is to use the Book Club Loop Application available at

either Apple or Android App Stores.

If you do decide to pay by cheque, please make these out to Scholastic New Zealand.

Thank you for placing orders and supporting our school.

Merrin Simpson, Parent Network
