 Kia Ora Kākano whānau

We hope you have had a safe weekend in this stormy weather! It was so great to have all of the children start back at school this week. We had an awesome week getting to know the new classes. 


Thank you for all of your support with the covid protocols during this first week. Most of the children have settled in well and come in happily in the morning to complete their morning routines. It is awesome to see them being independent already and being able to say bye to parents at the gate! 


Last week we had a week of getting to know everyone. All the children loved being in the pool. We also did art, baking, literacy, and lots of playing together.







Swimming

We are swimming this week, please bring your togs every day. 


Recycling

There is a creating station in Kākano where the children are able to use the hot glue guns to make new things. If you have any spare recyclable items that we could use please bring these to school for us to use! Anything like empty cereal boxes, egg cartons, empty plastic bottles, and lids.


Plastic Vegetable bags

We are in need of plastic bags from your fruit and vegetables at the supermarket. If you have any at home that is spare can we please have them at school. This is an ongoing need so if you can collect them and give them to your child.


School Mass

Our opening school mass is scheduled for this Friday. Weather permitting we will be holding this outside. Unfortunately due to covid restrictions we aren’t able to have families attend this.


Week ahead:

Monday - normal school day

Tuesday - normal school day

Wednesday - normal school day

Thursday - normal school day

Friday - sausage sizzle and juicy day $1.50 each


Note: library is still closed this week.


Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Literacy in Kakano 6

   In our class, we spend time learning to read and write the alphabet letters.  I have been so impressed with the way the children persevere to correctly write all letters.  We are having fun learning the sounds the letters make and have even started putting letters together to read and write words. If you would like to learn more about how we teach reading and writing at St Mary's I have included a few articles and links you may like to look at. • Lifting Literacy Aotearoa  • Learning MATTERS  • iDeaL Approach  • APM Reports – At a Loss for Words. (Very interesting analysis of current methods of teaching reading)
