Blake’s grandad and grandma brought to school their big red truck. The children thought it was cool! ”It was clever how the front of the cab dropped forward and I loved sitting in the cab, ” explained Tiana. ”The truck has to have tall sides to keep the animals safe,” informed Reuben. ” I loved looking at the motor,” Blake said. ”We loved sitting on the bed,” Eli and Xenobia sang together. ”I liked looking inside the cab and the motor,” Oliver explained. ”I liked listening to all the places in NZ the truck visits,” Emma told us. Olivia learnt that the cattle entered at the back of the truck. ”I like it when Blake’s grandad put the passengers chair forward,” explained Jacob.
Fantail class would like to thank Blake’s grandad and nana for bringing the big red truck to school.
The big red truck!
Good luck with your business ventures.
After our immersion and learning the skills of running a business the juniors have created a business called Sushi on the Move and the seniors will open a business called Game On.
Sushi on the Move has employed staff to make sushi which will be enjoyed by people within our community.
Game On is a business that will operate in Harakeke Mall where the public will be able to explore and interact with a range of ICT games. There is a cost that is determined by the amount of time you visit.
The seniors have the support of the Youth Trust Council and the Seaward Lions Ladies of Kaikoura.
Once again I thank the staff and students for undertaking a learning pathway that excites and connects with the learning opportunities of our community.
Good luck to both businesses:)
Welcome back to school and a very exciting Term 3!
During the first few weeks of the term we will be concentrating on addition and subtraction in Numeracy, deeper features in our literacy so that we can happily use simile, metaphor and onomatopoeia in reading and writing, we will also work on narratives and relevant items for Inquiry. As always we are working on spelling rules and essential words that we need to know instantly in all literacy activities.
Inquiry is going to be very exciting yet again! The senior “Getting into Business” Inquiry is taking on the theme of Game or Time Zone in which the students aim to run a successful business around technology, games and competition…….Watch this space! Whereas the junior Inquiry will be creating a successful business through the sale of Sushi.
In the next few weeks we also have Orienteering, Student lead conferrence and towards the end of Term the Cross Country event which we will be training towards throughout the term.
Thank you for making sure that we have all the stationery that we need to strive to great heights in our learning and please continue to do the fabulous work in supporting your child with their reading, counting and homework.
Remember if you would like to pop in and see what we are upto, you are always welcome and if you should have any regular free time, we create plenty of draft writing that we would love a little help to publish.
Kaikoura firemen’s visit.
Hold on tight!
On Monday 4 volunteer fireman took time to talk to our students about the importance of smoke alarms in the home, what to do if someone catches on fire and for each child to identify have a safety escape plan at their home. A tip to remember is, if you live in the township a good meeting place is your letterbox.
The students had the chance to feel the weight of a hose on full and 6 lucky students got a ride in the fire engine.
A huge thanks to Mr Bradley, Owen, Todd and Samma. We all think you are amazing and we highly respect what you do for our community.
Canterbury Tactix players come to Kaikoura
What a great experience our Kaikoura Suburban School netball team had with Maree B, Anna T and Ellen H, representatives from Canterbury Tactix netball team. The girls were involved with attack and defence games, passing and catching games and moving on the court. Another highlight was the opportunity to get some autographs and photos.

Our learning celebration – well done to all students.
Once again the staff and students proved that they are making a difference with learning, with an excellent performance last night at our Learning Celebration.
I can’t reiterate enough how clever they are with their organisation for the Go Kart Derby and then 4 days later share their learning of the whole process.
Well done and I think you are amazing.
