Welcome Edward

Our last Tui for the term was welcomed at School Prayer. Edward was supported by his family, big sister Tess, little sister Charlotte, dad Mike, Mum Emma and cousins George, Harriet and William.

He is the first Tui to wear our special korowai, special buddy Tahlia helped Mrs P put it on. Welcome Edward and whanau, it's great to have you here.

Storm Hits Sacred Heart Petone

Wow we've got a swimming pool! yelled Tui Class. "I wish we had our togs" said Mrs Pennington, "or even our gumboots." The thunder and lightning certainly made for an exciting time before everyone went home early. We squeezed in some great writing too.

Our taoanga the korowai

One of the very special Sacred Heart Petone mums made Tui class a Korowai. This is a special cloak that we will use everytime a new Tui starts school. He is a symbol of how we promise to look after and nurture them while they are here at Sacred Heart Petone. Every Tui this year has painted a Tui that will be attached to the Korowai. At Assembly on Friday Father John came and blessed it for us, he also blessed everyone there too.

George, Louis and Lola helped to show the korowai.

THANKS PHOEBE!!!

Get Set Go Fun

Every Wednesday Vanessa comes to school to teach us some PE and sports skills through a variety of fun games. So far we've practiced balancing and dodging. Every session we have homework to do as well. Have you had a chance to play 'Snatch the Peg or Knobbly Knee Knockers'?

School Cross Country

We'd been training for weeks and finally the big day arrived! Dressed up in our team colours and ready to yell our team chants we headed over to Petone Rec. What a great morning we had and every single Tui ran their hearts out. Big congratulations to George who had only been at school for a day.

Welcome Benjamin and Family

On Monday we also welcomed Benjamin to Sacred Heart Petone. Nicola came from his preschool, Imagine and handed him over to us with his very special taonga, a profile book of his time with them.

Mum. Dad and younger sister Cecillia came to support and be welcomed too.

While his special big buddy Zion put one of our school lavalava on, his very proud big brother Angus introduced him.

We are so thrilled to have you here Benjamin.

Our Very Special Mothers Day Liturgy

On Wednesday Father John helped us with our Mothers Day buddy class liturgy. It was lovely to see lots of our Mums, Grandmas and Aunties come along. We were very brave and lots of us had things to do or say throughout the liturgy.

Welcome George

 At School prayer on Monday we welcomed George into our sacred Heart Petone School Community. Shelly came from his kindergarten, Mason as his new buddy helped welcome him and his whanau, big sister Harriet, cousin Tess and little brother William all helped too.
