Week 2

-

Kia Orana,


It is Cook Island Language Week! Hope you all had a restful, safe weekend. It has been great to

have everyone back at school after the holiday break. 


Three Way Learning Conferences:

A reminder that Tuesday, Wednesday this week are our 3-way conferences. Thank you to all of you

who have already booked in a time. Please do so by tomorrow if you haven’t. School will finish early

on Tuesday at 2PM.

On Friday each child would have received their report and values sheet for you to complete at home.

These can be discussed at the conferences. The conferences are also an opportunity for you to

discuss your child’s learning with the class teacher.  We recommend children are present at these conferences as the children

enjoy sharing their achievements with parents as well as setting new

learning goals for the upcoming term.  Please note we have allocated 10minute slots for each

interview, if you have more to discuss please let your class teacher know and schedule a meeting for a later date.


Holiday Reading Log

Thank you for returning your child’s holiday reading logs. The draw will be held this Friday during

assembly. We only need 3 more back to have 100% and can get a whole class prize.



Week Ahead

Monday - normal school day

Tuesday - school finishes 2PM

Wednesday - normal school day

Thursday - normal school day

Friday - rollerskating in the hall, sausage sizzle and juicy $1.50 each, assembly.


We look forward to seeing you all this week, especially at the three way conferences.

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)
