Tokelau Language Week: Te vaiaho o te gagana Tokelau Mālo ni,

This year’s theme for Te vaiaho o te Gagana Tokelau– Tokelau Language Week is Tokelau! Tapui tau gagana ma tau aganuku, i te manaola ma te lautupuola, which means Tokelau! Preserve your language and culture, to enhance spiritual and physical wellbeing.

Swimming- Kahikitea will be swimming for the last 4 days of the week. It is very important that we take part in swimming, a note will be needed from home if the kids aren't swimming. Otherwise, they will be given spare togs. Swimming is part of our P.E. curriculum, the pool is warm and the kids will learn valuable swimming skills. 

Library - Thursdays.

FRIDAY- KIDS WILL DRESS UP IN COSTUME FOR THE AFTERNOON FOR SOME HALLOWEEN FUN.

THE MONTH OF THE ROSARY. This month is the month of the Rosary. Kahikitea is leading the Sorrowful Mysteries on Thursday.
