 What a busy week we have had. I can’t believe we have made the end of the term Today we had a great day creating, exploring and talking about Easter. We ended our day by helping ant G in the garden, as Peter Rabbit had been seen in there but we could only find Easter treats We also spent time as a whole school with the traffic light restrictions. Today we had the Washing of the Feet. We have also learnt about the Station’s of the Cross. This was interactive and fun as we moved around the school. At the start of next term we have student led conferences. It is important for all to attend to get the best for the children. Here are the details on how to book.  Week 2 Term 2 Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences We have Three-Way Conferences (for Parent/Student/Teacher) scheduled for Tuesday 10 May and Wednesday 11 May. Families can choose the day that will work best for them.  Students and their parent(s) need to attend a 10 minute appointment on one of these two days. Details are provided

Kia Ora!  Wow, we have come to the end of the term, Our last school day is Thursday.  We have managed to fit it a lot of learning and fun despite the rough start with Covid, lets's hope the next three terms have less interruptions We continue to be safe in and around our classroom to ensure everyone feels comfortable every day in Kākano. Please remember if your child is unwell they need to stay at home.  Holy Week Today marks the start of Holy Week.  With today being Palm Sunday.  We will continue to learn about the events that take place during this week.  We have a Liturgy on Thursday that we will attend in our classes. There are Masses taking place this week and next weekend. Unfortunately, we still cannot attend Mass as a school, it would be great to see families attend Mass together.  After the holidays, children are expected to be in their winter uniforms. Please note that boys can now wear long sleeve polo shirts instead of the skivvy. Our uniform hours are Monday and Friday

  Kia ora whānau There are only two more weeks left of this school term and it is so great to see nearly all of our students and staff at school and well! We continue to be safe in and around our classroom to ensure everyone feels comfortable every day in Kākano. Easter We have some special learning happening for the children to help them prepare for Holy Week next week. Firstly they will be told the Palm Sunday story and we will have a sort of donkey parade to celebrate this. We will also be talking about The Last Supper, the Washing of the Feet and the Stations of the Cross over this time. It is important to teach all of our tamariki about what the week leading up to Easter Sunday is really about. This video could be very helpful to show your children and help you remember what the HOLY WEEK is about and why it is important that we recognise and celebrate the days leading up to Easter Sunday.  https://youtu.be/cZ4gQniUVO8 House Tug of War On Friday we will be having our annual Tug o
